Family and friends are using social media in an attempt to find siblings who have been missing since a suicide bomber detonated two bombs Tuesday at Brussels Airport.
According to the New York Daily News, the relative heard an explosion and glass shattering before the line went dead. “I have not heard from him and neither has his family, who I’ve been in contact with all day”.
Peruvian mother of three-year-old twins, Adelma Tapia Ruiz, was one of those killed in the airport attack. Moore is still in Brussels and has been in touch with family in the United States.
“We are looking for Alexander Pinczowski and his sister Sascha”.
Their dad is from Maastricht, in the Netherlands, and is a lecturer at Hotel Management School in Maastricht, according to Algemeen Dagblad.
A brother and sister who reside in NYC were in the Brussels airport yesterday when explosions killed at least 11 people and wounded approximately 100. So far, the State Department revealed that at least 12 Americans have been injured in the attacks, but that number could always change as more victims are identified.
But State Department Spokesman Mark Toner said about a dozen Americans were injured during the bloody morning.
Since then the siblings who were traveling to NY, have been unreachable to their family, the outlet said. Officials told Justin’s brother, Levi Sutton, to take down a Twitter post in which he’d said his sibling had been located. All nine were hurt in the airport bombing. Details on their injuries have yet to be released, CBS news reports.
Another of the victims has been named as 51-year-old Fabienne Vansteenkiste.
They had just dropped off Stephanie Shults’ mother when the bomb went off at the Brussels Airport at Zaventem. Three explosions hit Brussels on March 22, 2016. The family remains hopeful that the Pinczowskis are in a hospital somewhere, but Cain said he knows it could be worse news for the family ahead.
A couple with ties to Kentucky, Stephanie and Justin Shults, are also missing.
Wells had been a block away from the finish line of the Boston Marathon when terrorists bombed it in 2013 and in France at the same time as the attacks there previous year, his father told ABC News.

Justin, 30, is originally from Gatlinburg, Tennessee, while 29-year-old Stephanie is from Lexington, Kentucky, but moved to the Belgian capital in 2014, Sutton said.
