Do you remember the ’17 People’ episode of the West Wing? Here’s an amazing breakdown of the show, including a timeline of Toby’s thinking, ‘Hoynes Breadcrumbs’, and an infographic on where the main story arcs take place. [SeventeenPeople.com]

Maybe they saw some lad prancing around taking photos and wanted nothing to do with it!
Looks staged to me.
course its staged, nothing great about it. same for these ‘amazing’ landscape photos doctored in editing programs. the world is full of them, the sheep know no better.
Two guys from RTE hiding under a blanket?
Here’s how dublin photographer ends his career by having work published on journal
That’s miriam o callaghan and marty whelan under that blanket
You can’t see their eyes.
A more appropriate title might be: “Europe continues to hide under the blanket long after we needed to stand as a people”
#sadnessunderablankett. Kay Burley can use that if she wants.
Brussels was on high alert because of an expected attack, yet 3 guys can walk freely into an airport loaded with bombs!! Security forces have something to answer to here.
True.
Don’t be ridiculous, I live in Belgium and use Zanvantem regularly. There are thousands of people walking into the departures hall every hour with big bags how are you supposed to identify what is in each bag. If you move security further out to entrance or somewhere else there will be queues there to target. It’s an impossible job for the security services, I believe they stop a lot of incidences that we never even get to hear about but they can’t it right 100% of the time.
I always enter the Airport with my luggage…….is there another way?
I wouldn’t be sittin’ under a window, drink or no drink.
A pair of auld boys on the sauce all day
Wouldve been a better photo without the blanket
A big bag of the white stuff. Grief my eye
#sadnessintheireyes.
Ah jaysus was afraid of this… right it was me and a munter I met down the local. Don’t know why the author says it was in Belgium as well, was only in the market bar in Dublin. I knew she was bad but to describe her as a man? Ah come on. The blanket came in handy tho for an aul danger tug.
Maybe Angela Merkel thought they were at work
It’s doent take long for so called artists and photographers to start loading these kinds of pictures on social media. Can people just let others grieve and Mourn without trying to further their own reputation
Maybe they are defying the attackers by continuing with their daily routine despite the fear. I would guess the blanket is intended to give themselves a false sense of security against possible flying glass in case of another explosion

HACK ATM AND BECOME RICH TODAY!!!!
Hello everyone. There is a new way of making cash, although it is illegal but also a smart and easy way of living big. I used to be a barrack girl until i became eager and decided to change my life one way or the other. I got opportunity to register for the militant amnesty through connection thereby taking me out of the country for training in the United States for a period of 3years. To cut the story short, during my training i made some white friends who were geeks and also experts at ATM repairs, programming and execution who taught me various tips and tricks about breaking into an ATM. with my knowledge gained from my white geek friends, i have been able to counterfeit and programme a blank ATM card using various tools and software’s. I have ready-made programmed ATM cards; I am just 29, my family are in USA and i have cash, i have a car, i live in malaysia and i travel all around the world. i do my things on a low-key to avoid suspicion. Some of you will wonder why i am selling this out if truly i am already living large. It is because it is hard task doing it yourself, i wont lie to you, its not easy to hack ATM talk more of to reprogramme the card alone and be able to get 40,000 Kuwaiti dinar each day. It takes days and sometimes weeks. Some of you will want the ready made card to avoid the stress of doing it yourself and i don’t give the ready made card out for free because i spent days trying to make it available for you. on yahoomail, (luciafernando222@gmail.com) for request of the ATM NOTE: the ATM card has no pin, no registered account number. It has no limit for withdrawal and it is untraceable.(luciafernando222@gmail.com)
