BRUSSELS, March 22 (Reuters) - Security services found and destroyed a third bomb after two explosions at Brussels airport on Tuesday killed at least 10 people and left around 100 wounded, the provincial governor of Brabant Flanders said on Wednesday.

A separate blast at a metro station in central Brussels killed a further 20 people and injured roughly 130 people, according to a provisional toll from the national crisis response centre.

1. So this could have been much worse

Some days I just want to stay in bed with the covers over my head.

3. More deaths were averted and you attack Reuters?

What are you implying? that there was no 3rd bomb?

4. it's posts like that which make it easy for me to decide who to put on ignore

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. Takes me half as much time to read DU now

thanks to the ignore options.

[uhnope]

11. it's posts like that which make me think DU is dead

this site is overrun with these kooks and apologists

8. What do infectious diseases have to do with unexploded bombs? (nt)

9. Where do you get his 'infectious diseases' symbolism. I simply offered an intellectual frame

for examining new media reports.

I can see that this doesn't fit the need for more focus here.

I'll simply withdraw the post.

12. Seems you didn't read your own post. You posted an image about infectious diseases

I'm glad the post will go.

13. Huh? My preview was of a google image from a FB site called "On The Media." Please

explain. I've got an advanced degree and fail to see your "infectious disease" parallel to the claim of media networks' presentations of breaking news.

What dark interpretations of posters' intent lurk around DU these days.

I can't believe what I'm reading here. I only tried to offer a way to help filter for future pop media reports that people often turn to.

15. Yes, you posted this image:

16. I misread, meaning to post the "Terrorist Edition." Sorry.

[maxsolomon]

10. You're threadjacking

You're not the first to do so on DU.

And it worked. Good job.

You can make your own OPs, you know.

[ancianita]

14. I'm sorry. Didn't realize it was that. I thought to make it its own OP, so I'll withdraw it.

7. They appear to be implying an unexploded bomb is like an infectious disease

With a worldview like that, you can say anything, and it won't make less sense.

[ancianita]

17. So sorry to screw up the thread, uhnope. Made a stupid mistake. It won't happen again.

I don't blame you all for putting me on ignore, but my posting history is usually relevnant.

Anyway, moving right along...

18. life is strange

the Internet is stranger

19. I'd like to know where they found the bomb. In a suitcase?
