BRUSSELS — When staffers at the Hotel Thon deal with emergencies, it's usually a guest losing a passport, burning themselves with a curling iron or a room with an unmade bed.
So when terrorists detonated explosives at the nearby Maelbeek subway station on Tuesday, the hotel staff grabbed their first aid kits and jumped in to help. "We have a small 'intervention team,' which is usually for a cook who cuts his finger," hotel manager Hans Van der Biersen said. "It's not for a major event like this."
