Concern, tribute to the Swedes, third half: report from the heart of a confined stadium
“The driver told us to go to bed as quickly as possible”
The journey goes smoothly until you reach the Demolder stop, in the heart of Schaerbeek. “Suddenly, the windows of the tram exploded. The driver told us to go to bed as quickly as possible. I thought our last hour had arrived. It was total chaos. We were lying on top of our children to protect them. A lady got injured”. The tram stops for a short moment. “My companion shouted to the driver to start once more as quickly as possible, which he did. The tram then stopped once more: the driver cleared the partially broken windows and called the police. He was incredible in his composure and I want to thank him because the situation was traumatic”.
What happened ? “The driver explained that we were stoned by “jokes”. The Stib, which confirms the incident, speaks of “a stone throw causing no injuries.” A few hours later, Jenny will learn that the author of the terrorist attack was apprehended a few hundred meters from the incident experienced at the end of the evening on tram 7. “It sent chills down our spines. We wondered if the two events were linked, if the author of the attack had possible accomplices”. For the Stib, however, the incident has “nothing to do with the Sainctelette shooting”. In the meantime, Jenny tries to reassure her son, who is very affected by this eventful evening. “He likes to stay at home when I go shopping. But just now, following a few minutes, he called me because he didn’t want to be alone. It will probably take some time before he gets over it.”
