>> especially for the commuters. that's what's happening "today in the bay." the "today" show's coverage picks up in brussels. good morning. breaking news. faces of evil. belgian officials say two brothers carried out suicide bombings on the brussels airport and subway system. a third unidentified attacker also dead. yet another suspect, so-called man in white, and possible bomb maker with ties to the paris massacre is on the run. s\ . with raids throughout the city today. wednesday, march 23rd, 2016. from nbc news, this is a special edition of "today," terror in brussels. with matt lauer in brussels, belgium, and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in
7:01 am
rockefeller plaza. >> reporter: and good morning, everyone. welcome to this special split edition of "today" on a wednesday morning. it's 7:00 on the west coast. i'm here in brussels and savannah is back in studio 1a. we've been seeing a lot of very touching sites around the city this morning. a growing memorial to the victims. this one near the belgian stock exchange. there was a moment of silence earlier this morning as the people of this city and this country and really all of europe still try to get their arms around what has been happening. by the way, savannah, we do have breaking news on the investigation. we now know the names of some, some of the suspected bombers. two of them are brothers, khalid and ibrahim el bakraoui. khalid blew himself up on a metro train behind me here. his brother detonated one of the bombs that went off at the airport. now the man seen on the left in this surveillance photo has not yet been identified.
7:02 am
the one on the report record tedly is najim laachraouilaachr. he was wanted in connection with the paris attacks. raids are being conducted all throughout the city. one led to the discovery of what they're describing as a bomb making factory. it's inspiring solidarity and unity around the world. back in the united states some icahns have been lit in belgium's national colors. black, yellow and red. keir simmons joins me in brussels. >> reporter: good morning. that news you've been describing, in particular two of the suicide bombers were brothers. it will add to the disbelief here. already there was a sense of fear since the paris attacks, now there is a sense that europe is under attack. in europe's rain soaked capitol this morning, soldiers
7:03 am
questioning commuters searching bags outside the subway. today just going to work is an act of defiance. >> frightening? >> yes. yes. absolutely. yes. >> you're still determined to get to work? >> yes. i have to. >> we cannot give in to fear. it's pointless. we have to show that we can go on. >> reporter: on the same streets an urgent manhunt to find killers who struck in the name of isis. the man in the middle identified as inbrahim bakraoui, one of the two brothers who died. the suicide bomber on the left still unidentified. each man wearing a glove on only one hand. investigators working to establish exactly why. transporting their suitcase bombs to the airport in a taxi. the man with them now wanted by police. there are many questions this morning. how the killers so easily entered the airport. smoke filling the check-in area. a mother crying in fear.
7:04 am
the third on the metro at maelbeek in brussels. the subway cars doors blown out. escaping along the track and going along the tunnels screaming. there are some answers. in schaerbeek just outside of brussels, they found a make shift bomb according to the federal prosecutors, ingredients for explosives and an isis flag. nbc news reporting they have found additional suitcase bombings, but there is mounting criticism of the intelligence agency failing to prevent this attack. overnight we crossed european borders with ease. we just crossed the border. if the suspects wanted to escape to another part of europe, they might just get into a car and drive. among the injured, three american missionaries from utah. while this kentucky couple justin and stephanie shults are missing.
7:05 am
their names are not on any lists. jeff slaughter was at the airport just dropped off by a friend when the bombs went off. >> i saw this big, bright yellow light followed by a huge explosion. and i was just stunned. >> reporter: this morning he is wearing the same clothes. he left his bags behind when he fled in terror. >> reporter: the french prime minister saying this morning that they want to destroy our way of life saying that europe has closed its eyes to extremism. all of this, matt, has the potential to change the way folks back in the states view europe. >> reporter: may have already happened that way. thank you, keir. good to have you here. as the hunt for more potential suspects intensifies, what are we now learning about the attackers who have been identified and their suspected ties to isis? nbc's chief global correspondent bill neely has that part of the story. hi, bill. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. we've just had an update from belgian prosecutors.
7:06 am
it's not clear, this was a terror gang of four, three are dead, one is on the run. the biggest bomb at the airport exploded late killing no one. the death toll there could have been so much higher and it's quite clear this isis plot was much bigger, much deadlier than the police ever understood. brussels, the capitol of europe, awoke this morning to a manhunt after a massacre. this is the prime target, najim laachraoui, a 24-year-old belgian who eluded police for months, escaping after the attacks in paris. he and ibrahim bakraoui seen here with new images from the airport are wheeling their suitcase bombs just minutes before bakraoui blew himself up. he was from brussels and had a long criminal record. the man on the left, another suicide bomber, is still unidentified. prosecutors say a third bomb here detonated late luckily injuring no one. it had more explosives inside
7:07 am
than the other two. laachraoui fled with escaping passengers, but an hour later bakraoui's brother khalid blew himself up inside the metro train. police have begun gathering bags of debris from the attack searching for clues to how the bombs were made. they believe there may be a single bomb maker behind the attacks in brussels and paris. >> very alarming to find out how many people are involved in this. >> reporter: late yesterday police helicopters and snipers honed in on a home in brussels where it thought some of the men were based. they've now searched it, led to the address by a cab driver who had taken three men with heavy suitcases to the airport. there have been other raids, other arrests, but so far no one has been charged as an accomplice. belgian troops are on the streets protecting key locations. metro stations are open again but people are being searched as they go in. this is a very nervous city.
7:08 am
last week police arrested saleh abdeslam, who took part in the paris massacres at a brussels apartment rented by one of yesterday's bombers. it's now clear they are all part of the same isis cell. his arrest triggered their plans to attack brussels. there is evidence of that. there was a police raid here in the district at schaerbeek last night. this is where they found the bomb making factory. in a trash can over there they also found a computer with what they describe as ibrahim bakraoui's last will in which he suggests they launched their attack because they worried they might be arrested. there were, he said, police searches everywhere. those searches continued. they're hunting for one man, maybe for more. back to you, matt. >> reporter: bill, it would be welcome news to a lot of people around here. bill neely, thank you very much. now a chilling account of the
7:09 am
attack at the airport in brussels. american consultant jeff hoffman was living here and was dropping off his girlfriend when the bombs went off. we talked to jeff yesterday. we're happy to have you, sherene, with us as well? >> i'm doing okay. >> reporter: a little shaken as well? >> yeah. yeah. i don't think that's going to go away any time soon. >> reporter: we talked yesterday, you were so articulate in describing what you went through. i got the sense you were in shock a little bit yesterday. have you come to terms with other emotions in the last 18 hours? >> you know, it's -- it's -- it's funny. i don't think there's been too much to come to terms with because i think i woke up this morning and it was, okay, that happened. we were uninjured. we got out. and consequently personally i kind of move on from that. all the what ifs and questions you can ask yourself, i don't. >> reporter: sherene, your boyfriend described dropping you off, standing outside the departure terminal when the first blast went off. what do you remember about it?
7:10 am
>> i think the last thing of the old normal, he handed me my baggage tickets. i was about to -- i turned to look at him and he smiled his old grin and then i can remember it was like a whirlwind. it was almost kind of like a tornado going off behind him. stuff flying. i felt it before i heard it. and i still didn't know what was going on. i didn't really understand what was going on until he came towards me. i thought, an accident happened. i don't know. it was pretty clear after seeing the terror on his face that that wasn't an accident. >> reporter: i have to say that watching the video is hard enough but there have been portions of the video that we've listened to the audio of and hearing the screaming, hearing one young child calling mommy, mommy, mommy, were you aware of the sounds going on around you as well? >> for me, after the -- after the first explosion, which i turned to, there was a lot of screaming. and i don't think i really was able to filter through and hear specific sounds. the unsettling thing for me personally was after the second
7:11 am
explosion was actually dead silence. we talked about that yesterday. that was the most unnerving part because in an incident like that you almost expect that you would hear police activity, people shouting, and it was quite literally, if i can kind of compare it to anything, it was almost as if everyone was gone in a moment. we were at the -- the people around us, i was crouched in front of the counter, she was behind the counter. it left me feeling exposed in a way. >> reporter: i don't want to bring up a difficult subject. it's always difficult. you were on your way home. >> yes. >>. >> reporter: i'm assuming you're still trying to get home. that would require going back to the airport and boarding a flight. how do you feel about that? >> he says everything is going to be okay so i want to believe him. i don't really ever want to step foot back there again but i need to get home so i'm going to do what i have to do.
7:12 am
it's going to be difficult but i'll be brave, i guess, be strong. i mean, i'm lucky enough to be able to go home and get to see my family and a lot of people aren't that lucky. i try to keep telling myself that. don't think about it as you're going back to a terrible place, you're going home. >> reporter: nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you. >> reporter: jeff, thank you again. >> thank you. >> reporter: thank you so much. >> matt, thank you so much. as you would expect here at home, security is being stepped up at airports, train and subway stations across the country in response to what we saw happen in brussels yesterday. nbc's pete williams is at union station in washington, d.c., this morning. train station there. pete, good morning. >> savannah, good morning to you. rail commuters across the country can expect to see more security on the ride to work this morning. airline passengers will see it, too. it is a precaution. officials say there's no intelligence warning of a similar attack here. on commuter trains and subway
7:13 am
systems from washington to los angeles police are out in a highly visible show of force. beefed up security, too, in miami, chicago, atlanta with heavily armed foot patrols. more security, too, at many of the nation's airports, especially in the outer lobbies where the airline ticket counters are. nationwide, more specially trained units and bomb sniffing dogs. more plain clothes officers, too. extra searches of bags. >> we want communities to feel confident that we're here, we're able to respond. we have an enormous capability if we need it tactically. >> reporter: amtrak says it's adding additional transit police and randomly screening luggage. it's an especially aggressive presence in new york city with 50 officers surging into times square. the mayor made a point of riding the subway. >> expects to see extraordinary nypd preps out over the coming days as a sign of our readiness
7:14 am
to protect people. >> reporter: they say protecting mass transit there is a big chore. >> we employ a lot of technology and we pay very close attention and learn from attacks that have gone on around the world and we train accordingly. >> i'll continue to be cautious and aware of my surroundings. i have a choice not to let it hold me down. >> reporter: train and subway riders and airport passengers will see more security for at least the next several days. and fbi agents are stepping up surveillance of terror suspects here. so far no sign of that. >> general michael haven served as director of the cia and the nsa. general hayden, good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. >> you said these attacks show we need to up our game, those are your words, be better prepared. what does that mean in practice? is this country vulnerable?
7:15 am
>> we are vulnerable, savannah, but not nearly as vulnerable as our european friends. there are lots of things that are different. we actually have very good intelly against and security services. that is not a universal condition in europe. we're more distant from the battlefield. frankly, savannah, we are a different society. we assimilate immigrants far better than our european friends do. the level of threat here is not zero but it's not nearly what it was yesterday in europe or frankly today in europe. >> you mentioned the failures of intelligence. we now know that authorities are looking for the so-called man in white, a person by the name of najim laachraoui. he was being sought for the paris attacks. does that mean there's a real breakdown here in terms of law enforcement overseas? >> obviously there's a failure because the attack took place. it may be a question of limited resources as opposed to anything else right now. main of the services in europe are small.
7:16 am
the belgian service is particularly small. savannah, i have to add there's been this grand debate over the last several years about the proper role of intelligence collection and individual privacy. the europeans have come down very strongly on the side of individual privacy criticizing the united states. david ignatius had an interesting column in this morning's "post" where he says that the europeans are turning to the american intelligence for american intelligence even though they still object to the american intelligence collection. we need to have that conversation over again with our european friends and make it a little bit more fact based than the conversation we've had in the last 24 months. >> all this have is happening in the presence of a european oo leks. donald trump says let's close the borders to all muslims.
7:17 am
they say maybe there should be patrols and security of muslim neighborhood, ted cruz said. >> i think we need to have an adult conversation about the role of islam and the civil war within islam but, savannah, the main point here is in the united states we may have radicalized individuals, we do not have radicalized communities. we have it within our ability to create radicalized communities and some of the rhetoric in the presidential campaign trends us towards that great, great problem. >> general michael hayden, good to spend a few minutes with you. thank you. >> thank you. these attacks are reigniting debate in the united states. as that played out voters in three states were heading to the polls on tuesday. the results are in. it was a split decision on the republican side. donald trump won big in arizona. he topped ted cruz by more than 20 points but cruz took it in utah grabbing all 40 of that state's delegates with a
7:18 am
commanding victory there. here's the overall count this morning. trump with 744 delegates, 468 for cruz. john kasich behind. on the democratic side hillary clinton took arizona. bernie sanders had a few others up for grabs. let's look at the democrats delegates. clinton leads 1637 to bernie sanders 928. as we mentioned, all of the candidates have had a lot to say about these attacks in brussels, national securitiesy and how the best way to deal with it. we have that angle of the story this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. a surprise announcement. jeb bush is endorsing ted cruz. this follows a day first focused on policy that quickly devolved into a personal feud. this would be followed by tough talk at home. >> if you've declared jihad in america, we are coming after you
7:19 am
to kill you. >> reporter: ted cruz tried to out trump trump. he said they should secure neighborhoods in the u.s. before they become radicalized. >> we need to be directing our efforts at stopping that from happening, stopping isolated communities from festering jihadism. >> reporter: the head of the nypd slamming cruz's comments. >> i take great offense at his characterization of that whole population. >> donald trump crediting cruz of a good idea. >> just because you happen to be muslim doesn't mean that you are a radicalized person that wants to destroy somebody in the west. >> reporter: the competing responses underscoring stark contrasts between the candidates. >> would i close up our borders with people to figure out what was going on. >> how high does the wall have to be to keep the internet out? you know, that's not the world we live in any longer.
7:20 am
>> reporter: after the accused paris bomber and other suspects, trump again embraced torture tactics, water boarding and more they said. >> if they would have put him through the grill 10 minutes after they captured him, he probably would have stopped this horrible terror attack. >> reporter: meanwhile an ad that targeted mormon voters said meet melania trump i don't remember next first lady. trump threatening cruz. cruz firing back saying the ad didn't come to him. donald, if you're trying to attack heidi, you're more of a coward than i thought #classless. the next big face-off will be wisconsin. if cruz and kasich can't stop trump there, it's not clear where they'll be able to. >> peter alexander in washington. thanks very much. we will be talking to republican candidate ted cruz. we'll ask him about that later this morning. let's turn to dylan.
7:21 am
she's in for al. we'll have a warmup on the east coast. >> temperatures approaching 70 degrees in the northeast. back through the upper midwest talking about a winter storm. we have a lot of snow expected through parts of denver, which is under a blizzard warning now and lasts through this evening. we will see this stretch up into parts of minnesota, into wisconsin, severe storms in the midwest later this afternoon and tonight. that's a look at the weather across the country. your local forecast is coming up in just 30 seconds. oh my gosh. ... and gather all the right ingredients. we're gonna make the same meal this year. i wish sarah was here. i know, mom. but the happiest moments in life don't always come from a cookbook. look who's joining us. happy easter. they come from the heart. find low prices every day on fresh food for your easter meal. walmart. good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. sunshine all across the bay area
7:22 am
today and a chilly start, but our temperatures will warm up from here. we're only at 39 degrees now in the north bay and the south bay 46 degrees, we're looking at highs today up to 70 in the north bay, 68 degrees in the south bay. san francisco you are up to 65 degrees and the tri-valley also 70 degrees. lots of sunshine today and for the next several days, we will see our temperatures warming up into the mid to upper 70s over the next few days. >> that's your latest forecast. matt? dylan, thank you very much. coming up, we'll remember the victims in brussels, as the tributes for them continue to pour in. but first on a wednesday morning, this is" today" on nbc.
7:24 am
7:26 am
a very good wednesday morning. i'm laura garcia-cannon. a look at the international terminal at sfo, a little earlier this morning, lit up in the colors of the belgian flag showing support for the city of brussels after yesterday's deadly attack. brussels airport still closed this morning and it will be at least through tomorrow. happening today, democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton will deliver an address at stanford, the topic u.s. counterterrorism efforts. clinton has already been scheduled to appear in the bay area but her address at stanford was scheduled last minute in the wake of yesterday's attacks. let's check that forecast with kari. >> we will have a beautiful day, lau laura, starting out with some sunshine, a live look at ocean beach. we will keep the sunshine throughout the day and our
7:27 am
temperatures warming up, but it is cool as you head out the door, it's 46 degrees in san jose and 47 in oakland, still some upper 30s in the north bay, but looking at highs this afternoon in the mid to upper 60s, even some low 70s in a few spots like santa rosa and antioch as well as pleasanton. let's get a look at traffic from mike. we had a number of crashes for 280 north, first at saratoga then back at 280 and 17 and another one approaching saratoga over the last few minutes. making things tougher out of downtown, now a slower commute dumbarton and san mateo bridge. the crowded nimitz freeway as well. snow surprises there. there's the walnut creek interchange. slowing westbound 80 off of hercules and richmond. cutting boulevard we may have one lane clocked blocked from an earlier crash. >> i will be back with another local news update in half an
7:29 am
7:30 am
starting at $38,950. 7:30 on the west coast wednesday morning, march 23rd, 2016. it's the start of three days of national mourning in belgium for the victims of those deadly terror attacks on brussels airport and subway systems. matt is in brussels for us this morning. matt, i can only imagine the airport closed, the city in basic lockdown. it could not have been easy to get there overnight. can you hear me? matt, can you hear me? matt, we're having a little bit of trouble with the technical side of things in brussels, we'll talk about how it is topping today's headlines. there were at least three
7:31 am
suicide bombers in all. the two we see on the left side of the surveillance images. the third is said to be the brother of the man in the center of the picture who also allegedly carried out the subway attack and the so-called man in white, that's the gentleman right there, fled the scene. he is reportedly 24-year-old najim laachraoui. a man with known ties to last year's paris massacre. a manhunt for him is now underway. in the presidential race back here, donald trump and hillary clinton added to their delegate lead each winning arizona's primary last night. ted cruz topped trump in the republican caucuses in utah. and bernie sanders beat clinton in both utah and idaho. and in other news, president obama arrived in argentina overnight for a two day state visit there. he wrapped up his historic trip to cuba. and i want to send it back out to matt. i think we fixed our technical problems, matt. >> reporter: we did. i apologize for that, savannah. now back to the a being at thats
7:32 am
here in brussels and the tributes that are pouring in for the victims. adelma topia are yruiz was at t airport. the bombs went off and killed her and one of her twins. he confirmed his sister's death to a peruvian audience and writing on facebook it's very complicated to describe our feeling. my sister died in the terrorist attack and was not able to survive the jihadist attack. stephanie and justin shults were at the airport. moore says she waived good-bye to them while going through a security checkpoint when she was suddenly knocked off her feet by a blast. dazed but uninjured. moore tried frantically to reach her daughter and son-in-law. >> this is what she looks like.
7:33 am
my husband called the american embassy and they're looking for her, too. >> reporter: they're still among the missing. among the injured, sebastian bellan, he played college ball in the states. according to local media reports, the 37-year-old, 6'9" athlete was thrown some 65 feet in the air by the explosion. >> he was in line at the counter to check in. they dropped him off, six minutes later the bomb went off. he was within a 100 yard radius of it. things didn't go well. i have been told that he's going to live and will be fine. >> two jet airways crew members were injured in the airport blast. the indian embassy in belgian tweeting the two are out of danger and being attended to by doctors and embassy staff. mason wells of sandy, utah, suffered second-degree burns and was hit by shrapnel. the 19-year-old was at the
7:34 am
airport along with mormon missionaries. they all are recovering. remarkably or perhaps miraculously, mason was in paris when 130 people were killed in last year's terror attacks and also survived the boston marathon bombing. >> i think that experience of the chaos and civil unrest prepared mason for what he experienced today. >> reporter: savannah, the skies are darkening here in brussels. to go back and answer the question you asked me earlier, no, you can't fly in and out of the airport here, at least in the immediate future, so we flew into paris landing very, very early this morning b 5:30 a.m. local time, then we jumped in a car and drove the three or three and a half hours down here to brussels. saw a lot of police activity along the way. and when we got here we were welcomed by the morning newspapers. this one an evening newspapers it says tenir bon which means
7:35 am
stand strong or hang on. this one here i think probably needs no translation whatsoever. it simply says the horror, and that is what people in this city, this country and for many parts of europe are feeling this morning. the horror of the aftermath of these attacks. sadly attacks like these have become a new and almost terrifying new normal here in europe. nbc news analyst christopher dickey is the editor for ""the daily beast." good to see you here. i just arrived. they say there are stages ofgri. what stage of grief would you say that the people here in brussels are in now? >> well, i'd say they'd be close to -- not to denial but close to that. i think we saw this in paris, too, in the immediate after math what you think is it's a horrible thing but maybe it's over over. that's the most dangerous time. if there's another hit now, if
7:36 am
there's another incident now, people are absolutely shattered. even in paris when it didn't come off that there was another attack, when we heard that one was being planned and was disrupted with a terrible shootout, i remember people were absolutely shattered. >> chris, what questions will be asked? what questions need to be asked of the intelligence services here, of law enforcement here, of the politicians here? >> well, first of all, belgium is a tremendously disorganized country. it went for almost two years without a government. it's got multiple layers of police. it tries to cou-ooperate but its failed to integrate its muslim population well. there are only 500,000 muslims here but they are not well integrated into society. those are all problems to solve but they're all problems everyone's known about for a long time. can you solve them? probably not. >> you say known about for a long time.
7:37 am
you've talked to me personally and privately about, you know, several different manifestos that laid out almost this exact scenario years ago. >> years ago. more than ten years ago. the most important one for this is won by abu musaba suri who said basically europe is the soft underbelly of the west and we can hit europe and we can divide it. there's a large muslim population and that population should not be able to choose. it should have to choose between being on our side, the side of islam and terror, in facts, or the side of the europeans. he wants to eliminate the gray zone in between. he wants to force the contrad t contradictions in society and terror is the tool to doing that. you see it happening. >> the results of the last six months would say that we are moving closer and closer to that reality. >> sure. >> christopher dickey, always good to see you. thank you so much. let's go back to is a sflan in new york. >> matt, thank you so much. as we turn to dylan who's in for al today.
7:38 am
i neglected to mention a big weather story in the west. >> big one. yesterday it was 73, today they are under a blizzard warning. we are going to see blizzard like conditions not so much because of a ton of snow. we should see 4 to 8 inches of snow. it's very windy. this storm system is going to stretch into the northern plains and the upper midwest. look at all of these winter storm warnings. it's a small band but includes northern iowa, southern minnesota and most of wisconsin. this is the area where we could we will have beautiful weather in the bay area. a lot of sunshine. after a cool start our temperatures warm up nicely. as you head out the door now we are mostly seeing some mid to upper 40s and a high today of 67 degrees can be expected in the east bay and peninsula. 68 degrees in the south bay and 70 in the north bay as well as the tri-valley. san francisco another pleasant day, a high of 65, our temperatures will continue to warm over the next few days and a very nice weekend ahead.
7:39 am
>> that's your latest >> and that's your latest forecast. >> thank you, dylan. coming up, republican presidential candidate ted cruise will be here and we'll talk about his big win in the utah caucuses and his controversial call for police to control muslim neighborhoods. coming up next, security risks here in the u.s. as the attacks in brussels, so-called soft targets, are they basically impossible to defend? we'll have that story, but first these messages. . not now! i'm cleaning the oven! yeah, i'm cleaning the gutters! washing the dog! washing the cat! well i'm learning snapchamp! chat. chat! changing the oil...

we're back at 7:43. the terror attacks in brussels are highlighting the difficult of securing so-called soft targets. these are places that would-be attackers can enter relatively easily and cause large-scale devastation for civilian populations. it's a troubling scenario for law enforcement officials here in the u.s. tom costello has been looking into this part of the story. he's at a tsa security checkpoint at reagan national airport. good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, savannah, good morning. we all walk through soft targets every day. you could argue that this tsa checkpoint would be an attractive target to terrorists. by definition, soft targets are simply easy targets and not easy to defend. look around. soft targets are everywhere. buses, schools, hospitals, restaurants, shopping malls, anyplace where people come and go freely without significant security can be considered a soft target. easy for terrorists to attack.
7:45 am
>> if you have a determined terrorist, who is willing to give up their life, it's almost impossible to prevent that across the board. >> reporter: we've seen it multiple times with devastating effect. london 2005, 52 dead, 700 wounded after coordinated suicide attacks on the subway and bus systems. in paris last year, terrorists struck a theater, a restaurant and a kosher market, all soft targets. 130 killed, hundreds wounded. and in this country, a self-radicalized couple working out of their home shot and killed 14 people, wounding 21, at a holiday party. police later found three pipe bombs and speculated the terrorists had planned more attacks. >> in democrats there are certain places where, by definition, you need lots of people to go there. and you can't have chokepoints set up where there is security because then you couldn't have the flow of people you need. >> reporter: in the wake of the
7:46 am
brussels attacks, security at airports worldwide has been beefed up this morning. but experts say outside security screening areas, they can be as vulnerable as shopping malls. >> airports are not built like castles. they're not built with security in mind, quite frankly. a lot of them are built for shopping. transportation and shopping. >> reporter: experts say especially when it comes to soft targets, the public has to be extra vigilant, looking out for people who seem to be surveilling a location, gathering information about things like shift changes, and testing security with false alarms. >> it boils down, and this is a saying that's a cliche but i truly believe in it, see something, say something. >> reporter: yeah, it's a cliche because since 9/11 we've been hearing that, right, for 15 years. that's the danger. people won't do it anymore. that has been the most effective deterrent to stopping terrorist attacks. so if you see something, say something. savannah, back to you. >> it works. tom costello, thank you. coming up, senator ted cruz will join us to talk about his controversial recommendation in

8:00 am
it's 8:00 on "today." coming up, massive manhunt. the desperate search under way right now for suspects who helped plan the terror attacks in brussels. overnight two of the suicide bombers identified as brothers. the so-called man in white seen in this surveillance photo is still at large this morning. he's on the run as belgium pauses to remember the victims today, wednesday, march 23rd, 2016. and welcome back to a special split edition of "today" on this wednesday morning. i'm matt lauer in brussels. savannah is back in new york. savannah, good morning. >> good morning again to you, matt. as you well know there are a number of developments tied to these terror attacks. just this morning we're learning that the airport in brussels
8:01 am
will remain closed until at least tomorrow night, matt. >> and when you look at the images we've been seeing on those pictures coming out over the last 24 hours, savannah, you can understand that. the terrorism threat level will also remain at its highest level and that's because belgian authorities say several people linked to the attacks are still on the loose, including one with known ties to last year's massacre in paris. this is now europe's most-wanted man, 24-year-old lashrowi. he is still at large and one of at least four possible suspects. the man on the left has not been identified but is believed to be one of the bombers who died at the airport. the other airport bomber in the center of the photo identified as ibrahim el bakraoui.
8:02 am
late tuesday during a series of raids authorities found a house turned bomb factory where the brussels attacks were believed to be planned, containing additional explosives, chemicals and an isis flag. a cab driver led authorities there after recognizing security images on the news, as the passengers he took to the airport tuesday morning. he told authorities they acted suspiciously and carried extremely heavy luggage they didn't want him to handle. shortly after 8:00 a.m. tuesday, two suitcase bombs exploded in the departures hall of the brussels airport, killing at least 11. according to authorities, the devices contained glass and nails. an x-ray of one of the wounded showing one nail embedded in his chest. an hour after those dual explosions at the airport, a second attack ripped through a brussels metro train at the
8:03 am
maalbeck station. another suspect described as khalid bakraoui and forcing passengers to evacuate through the system's smoke-filled tunnels. u.s. intelligence officials say their working theory is this, that the brussels attackers and salah abdeslam are part of the same terror cell, linking brussels, paris and the attempted attack on a french train last august that was thwarted by american servicemen. one senior intelligence official says they had picked up chatter on terrorist networks three or four weeks ago of an imminent attack somewhere in europe, adding it is possible that last friday's arrest of abdeslam could have thrown that plan into high gear or that another attack could still be in the works. american evan lemas works here in brussels. he was riding in the metro train that was right behind the one that was attacked by the terrorists and took dramatic
8:04 am
photos of the evacuation through a smoke-filled tunnel. evan, good to have you here, good morning, nice to see you. >> thanks. >> you got lucky. this is a close call for you. you were actually in the train when ye reading and finding out about the attacks at the airport, right? >> indeed. i was on my way to work in the morning and checking the news like i usually do reading about the attacks at the airport. i was on the metro going going towards the maalbeck station when we felt a small blast of air that hit us. my ears popped and the metro immediately stopped. >> any idea what you thought was going on at that point? did connection to the airport bombings cross your mind at all? >> it didn't cross my mind for quite a while, so it took a while for things to register. every now and then the metro will stop just because of time problems, you know, metro is a little too slow. so at first i thought it was just a regular occurrence. the air blast that i felt wasn't anything more than what you would feel, a breeze coming through the window or a fan. and then we heard some thudding in the distance, but it really
8:05 am
seemed far away. it really wasn't clear how close we were to the explosion. >> were they making announcements to explain why they had stopped the train? what were you hearing? >> immediately when the train stopped they put an announcement over the sound system saying there had been a disturbance on the line and they were going to work to resolve it as quickly as possible. i think it was about two or three minutes before someone came from the front of the metro all the way to the back which is where i was. they opened the door, installed a ladder and had us start evacuating down onto the track. >> so now you're in a tunnel, right? smoke in the tunnel yet? >> as we got down on the tracks, there was smoke. smoke started to come a little bit into the metro as well. it wasn't oppressive or difficult to breathe, but there was definitely smoke lingering in the air there. >> as you got above ground, you had to then start to understand what was going on. were you seeing -- you were a stop away from maalbeck. were you getting reports on your phone? >> i was. as we were exiting, i started to check my phone to figure out what was going on the more importantly where it was going on. it seemed like it was in the
8:06 am
distance. i first used my phone to try to contact a few family and friends to let them know something was happening but i was okay for the moment. i checked the news and there was confirmation that there was an explosion and shortly after that that it was an attack at maalbeek station. >> can you foresee a day where you will comfortably go back on the metro system here and right without constant fear? >> i think so. we've been under high security alert for some time and that had kind of become normal in part of every day life here. i think life will go on. you have to get used to how they are. it's good to trust the authorities to the extent we can about what to do to be safe and life will go back to normal eventually. i'm sure i'll take the metro to work once it's running fully again. >> and maybe a minute earlier had you gotten on the train before yours, you'd have a different story this morning. i'm happy you're okay. >> thanks. >> evan, thank you so much.
8:07 am
not only evan, but some of the other people we've spoken to this morning very lucky to be able to tell their stories. 31 people confirmed dead in the attacks. that does it for us from brussels this morning. of course we'll keep posted and keep you posted on any developments on this investigation. savannah, back to you. >> all right, matt. thank you and stay safe. we'll take a turn to tamron who's in for natalie and covering the president's trip. >> we're getting caught up on other news stories. overnight president obama arrived in argentina making the first state visit by a u.s. president in nearly two decades. the commander in chief will meet with the president later today in an effort to reset diplomatic relations and strengthen trade ties with the country. it follows that historic trip to cuba where tuesday he defended his decision to attend a baseball game despite the terror attacks in brussels. republican presidential candidates had harsh criticism,
8:08 am
including ted cruz, who we'll hear from in a moment. >> you want to be respectful and understand the gravity of the situation, but the whole premise of terrorism is to try to disrupt people's ordinary lives. >> the president later said the attacks serve as a reminder the world must unite. new this morning, police recommend misdemeanor charge for the mother of a 4-year-old boy who shot her with her own handgun. investigators say jamie gilt, had placed the loaded .45 caliber handgun under the front seat of her pickup truck which slid to the back seat. the boy up buckled himself, picked up the gun and fired through the seat hitting his mother in the back. police say they're recommending a charge of allowing a child access to a firearm. happening today, nfl commissioner roger goodell will speak later this morning in boca
8:09 am
raton, florida, as team and league executives wrap up their meetings. they met to discuss major issues in the league and vote on a number of rule changes. goodell is expected to address those 19 proposed changes and the request by the new england patriots to have their first round draft picks returned following last year's deflategate controversy. the peak bloom period for washington, d.c.'s famous cherry blossoms is expected to begin today. recent cold weather has not affected the bloom cycle. once peak bloom is reached, the blossoms can remain on the trees for four to ten days. the capital's national cherry blossom festival runs through april 17th. something that perhaps will put a little smile on your face today. beautiful. >> or a big smile. it's so pretty. tamron, thank you. coming up, we're going to talk to senator ted cruz about his controversial comments in the wake of the brussels attacks and his big victory last night in the presidential race in the state of utah. plus, a new reality for

presidential candidate, senator ted cruz. he picked up a crucial win in utah overnight. and just this morning, got a major endorsement from his one-time rival, jeb bush. he's also facing some criticism this morning over comments he made in response to the terror attacks in brussels. senator cruz, good morning. good to have you with us. >> good morning. great to be with you. >> normally i start an interview like this after you won a big victory last night in utah saying congratulations and i do. >> thank you. >> given what's happening in brussels, let's start there. let's talk about that. and let me start where we just mentioned. you said yesterday in a facebook post that we need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized. how would you define a muslim neighborhood? is there a certain percentage of muslims that have to live there? and do you have to have any particular suspicion that they're being radicalized or is it just the mere fact that they're muslims in your mind means police officers should be securing and patrolling those areas? >> well, let's start out with what happened in brussels yesterday. all of us are -- our thoughts,
8:15 am
our prayers, are with those murdered, those injured. yesterday i think reminded everyone, really underscored, that we are facing a war. and it is not -- this was not an isolated lone wolf. this was not an isolated incident. radical islamic terrorism, isis, has declared jihad on the united states of america. >> there's no question about that. and i guess the issue this morning is the response. and trying to understand what it is you're recommending. >> let me point out. you say there is no question about that. let me tell you who disagrees with you. barack obama disagrees with you. hillary clinton disagrees with you. the entire obama administration refuses to utter the words radical islamic terrorism. and one of the reasons that america remains so vulnerable is that this administration is mired in political practice -- it will not acknowledge this threat. so when it comes to law enforcement, proactive law enforcement, you know, here in new york city, under mayor bloomberg, there was a proactive
8:16 am
policing program to work cooperatively with the muslim community. so prevent radicalization. to target and find out who may be affiliated with radical islamic terrorism and to stop terror plots before they occur. mayor de blasio, in an example of political correctness, very befitting of obama and hillary clinton, cancelled the program. said we're not going to target the bad guys, because they will not acknowledge -- >> you criteria that program, but it, of course, has been disbanded. and former supervisor of that program said in six years, it never led to even one piece of intelligence, not an arrest. not a conviction. in fact, the supervisor was quoted as saying it involved paying undercover officers to sit in cafes frequented by muslims, drinking tea and eating sweets at taxpayer expense. >> what i know is if you want to stop radical islamic terrorism, you need a concerted focus on doing so. any law enforcement -- like, for example, if you have a problem with gang violence, what law enforcement does with gang
8:17 am
violence, you target the neighborhoods where gang violence is prevalent and you work to root out the gang members. >> that goes to my question. so, for example you're saying gang violence. you look where is there gang violence. >> of course. >> we'll go patrol those neighborhoods. when you talk about patrolling muslim neighborhoods, would you require some suspicion of radicalization before you patrol the neighborhood? >> what i'm talking about is focusing law enforcement and national security resources on areas on locations where there is a higher incidence of radical islamic terrorism. one of the tragic reasons we saw this attack yesterday in brussels is that europe's failed immigration laws have allowed vast numbers of radical islamic terrorists to come into europe. >> before i let you go, i have to ask you about a series of tweets that went back and forth between you and donald trump last night. he criticized you, falsely i might add, for putting up an ad that featured his wife mill annia in "gq" magazine in a state of undress.
8:18 am
and then he added you should lay off his wife and if not, he's going to spill the beans on your wife. it seems like a threat against your wife and you took it that way. >> this is a pattern with donald trump when he's unhappy, when he's scared, he lashes out. he yells, he screams, he often curses and he threatens people. donald is a bully. and i told him last night, don't you try to attack my wife. look, donald is unhappy that he got clobbered last night in utah. wasn't even close. he lost by 69%. utah was now the tenth state where we beat donald trump. so what does he do? he tries to change the subject. and the way he tries to change the subject is by lashing out and attacking my wife. i'm not going to stoop to that level. >> i know you're not responsible for the ad that featured melania trump. do you think it's inappropriate? >> it's not something i would have done, and donald is trying to threaten my wife. speaks volumes about character. >> senator ted cruz, good to have you with us this morning. appreciate it. we'll take a turn and get a
8:19 am
check of the weather now. dylan is in for al. over to you. >> thanks, savannah. we are going to see a round of stronger storms develop later tonight. we have this area right in through st. louis, down through little rock and north eastern texas where we could see strong storms with hail, damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes. keep in mind, most storms will hit overnight. any time you get these storms overnight into the darkness, that's where we do see some added problems. we are going to see that start to spread east as we go into tomorrow. then on thursday, our best chance of stronger storms includes most of central tennessee, stretching down into alabama. again, same threats. we're looking at heavy downpours, larger hail, damaging wind gusts with some isolated tornadoes. then this will start to fizzle out as it moves farther to the east. on the northern side of this storm, we've got the snow. that's where we could see as much as 12 to 16 inches, especially northwest iowa into southeastern minnesota and into wisconsin, as well. that's a l good morning.
8:20 am
i'm meteorologist kari hall. we will have more sunshine, some high clouds starting to filter that sun as of now. we're looking at temperature that's are cool in the north bay only at 40 degrees but we have 50 degrees in the peninsula. with all of that sunshine today, it will be be very pleasant and a little warmer, reaching 70 degrees in the north bay, 67 in the east bay and peninsula. san francisco is looking at a high of 65 degrees. more of this weather heading into the weekend. >> that's your lat andes that's your latest forecast. >> we are going to start in england, where the government asked the internet for help and now it's probably thinking that wasn't such a hot idea. >> so the task was, what should we name our new research ship, a ship, i might add, worth nearly $300 million. well, the government asked the public for suggestions, okay. and they got some good picks. for example, the "sir earnest
8:21 am
shackleton" and "endeavor." do you want to know what the people want? they said "boaty mcboat face" by more than 28,000 votes. >> i love it! please. >> it does look like a character. >> "boaty mcboatface." there it is in all of its glory. there she goes. >> by the way -- >> take a picture with "boaty mcboatface." >> i love it so much. >> it's like the "rsf boaty mcboatface." anyway, they have the final say, the voters. it's not a true democracy. >> here's a story about how a wrong number led to a new friendship. a georgia couple named mark and lindsey just had their first child, a boy. mark's mother texted the news to some family members. started a chain. but by accident, she also texted
8:22 am
a total stranger named dennis. now instead of just ignoring the chain, dennis starts to respond. you can read the whole thing there. nobody knew him. but they did invite him to stop by. and is guess what? he did. dennis stopped by, posing for a picture, brought his brother. there's the new parents. dennis nice enough to bring gifts. diapers, bottles and a bass mier. and they named the baby boy dennis jr. >> no. >> that's amazing! >> i love that! >> how did they accidentally text somebody? >> it was a cousin's cell phone number that was no longer their number. >> there we go. now they give away your phone -- they used to keep it forever and you wouldn't put it back in circulation. >> #mom. >> mom is right -- a lot of personal information. and dennis is like, i don't think i'm supposed to be on this chain and i'm on my way, what room number. and there he was. >> like unsubscribe to the

dilation part. now why court will soon be in session for sarah palin. >> first to adele, in the middle of a world tour now. in london on tuesday night, took a minute to honor the victims of the brussels terror attacks. it happened during the performance of "make you feel my love." adele asked the audience to turn on the cell phones. the glow made for a dazzling show of solidarity. she said she had never been so moved at one of her own shows. next to sarah palin. she's not a judge but pretty soon will play one on television. the former alaska governor will take on judge judo with her own daytime court show. no, palin doesn't have a law agree, but publicist said governor palin did appoint judges and that on her new show, she's going to call 'em like she sei sees 'em. production will begin within 18 months. and finally, not throwback thursday just yet. how about a little music flashback? ♪
