New Delhi: Serial blasts rocked the Begian capital, Brussels this morning. Two deadly explosions at the Zaventem airport and an equally powerful blast ripped through a train coach at a metro station in the heart of Brussels. The attack is being cited as one of the worst terror attacks in Europe in four months in which 34 people have reportedly lost their lives.
Prayers for the city have been flowing in since the news about the explosions broke. Netizens took to Twitter to express solid compassion for the victims. Amidst all the solidarity, what is standing out is the sharing of images of popular comic character Tintin.
An image of Tintin, which was created by cartoonist Herge (George Remi) in 1929, weeping for Brussels has gone viral.
Many who are condemning the attacks on the city wish Tintin, the world’s most loved investigative reporter, were not just a cartoon character but a real life character who would have stopped the heinous attacks just in time.
