Brother, sister missing after Brussels bombings; Maastricht family fears worst

Maastricht family Pinczowski are out of their minds with worry about their kids Alexander and Sascha. The siblings, both in their 20's, haven'nt been heard from since the suicide bombings in Brussels on Tuesday. The two were at the Zaventem airport when the bombings happened. According to Limburg media, Alexander and Sacha left for the airport on Tuesday morning to fly to America, where they both live. They checked in with a family member just before 8:00 a.m. to say they arrived at the airport safely. The family member heard an explosion and shattering glass and the line went dead. Since then the siblings have been unreachable. The family traveled to Brussels on Tuesday to go look for them. Their mother is trying to find more information about what happened to them via Facebook. Minister Bert Koenders of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Alexander and Sascha are missing. "A terrible situation for the family living in uncertainty. Our employees are in close contact with them", he said to 1Limburg. Sascha's best friend Alex Kneeshaw told NY Daily news that she is heartbroken "beyond belief" by the news that Sascha and her brother are missing. "I have known the Pinczowskis for over 15 years. We lived in Germany together where I met her whole family and have been a part of it ever since", Kneeshaw said to the newspaper. "She is the kindest, goofiest and down-to-Earth girl I have ever met." The family told NL Times that they are looking for privacy and not to be contacted by the media. Dutch authorities may be reached around the clock at +31 247 247 247, just like the Belgian hotline for crisis situations, +32 781 517 71. Those with information about missing persons or victims, as well as people with questions about loved ones were told to call either number by the respective nation's foreign affairs ministry. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154158488540466&set=a.10150237414680466.367845.503340465&type=1&theater
