When she regained consciousness, Nidhi Chaphekar was lying on the floor of Zaventem airport in Brussels, across the room from the bird-shaped statue she had been standing near a few moments before. An hour later, el-Bakraoui’s younger brother Khalid set off a bomb at Maelbeek metro station on Rue de la Loi. On level two of the departures area of the airport, Chaphekar lay still. Chaphekar was one of the first victims she saw, and within minutes, her photograph was being shared on Twitter. Just as they reached the Olivier Strebelle statue on the second floor, the first bomb exploded somewhere in the distance.
