Zaventem hero ", so called the Belgian Alphonse Youla. The 40-year-old baggage handler helped nine people Tuesday afternoon from the airport, after the suicide attacks that took the lives of fourteen people.

Alphonse was busy packing bags with foil, when he suddenly heard someone shout something in Arabic. "I do not know what it meant, but it was not Allah Akbar," he told De Standaard. Before he could respond, there was a huge explosion and then the ceiling came down.

OUTPUT
Despite the shock Alphonse knew immediately what I had to do it. He helped people to his feet and lifted them to the exit, where they would be safer. "I got carried away a total of six or seven people. Some moved among them more or missing a limb. I also helped two policemen who were severely mutilated legs. "

HERO
Alphonse had at the time of the interview still blood on his hands, the people he has rescued. His picture is all over the internet and rightly so, because this man is a real hero!
