Explosions in Brussels Kill at Least 13

It's horrible, as a french here, my thoughts are with my fellow Belgian friends.

This news is everywhere. We simply don't need it reported on HN.

HN isn't only about reporting, but about discussing, no?

Especially with the further cutting of (individual) freedoms that is to be expected after such a large scale terror attack.

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

I agree!

I always found it useful when I saw news of e.g. earthquaqes on HN (before they reached other sources).

I disagree. At least one thread of discussion, at least.

In fact, who cares about discussion!

Terrorists must have been really pissed off by Apple's yesterday annoucements.
