back on this sunday morning with a story of a mom who moved her family from washington, d.c. to brussels nine months ago. she said she hoped the move would be an escape from the political hysteria and gun violence in the u.s. >> but her world was turned upside down this past tuesday when bombs started going off in her adopted hometown. >> we thought it would be great to come and give our children the experience of learning a new

language. we decided to put them in a local belgium school. and for me it also was a way to get away from some of the anxiety that i felt as a parent in america. we knew there were terrorism connections in brussels, but didn't feel like brussels was going to be as dangerous as it has turned out. now it feels like we're living in a war zone at times or at least living in a society under threat. on tuesday morning, i was at my desk, working, in my house and i work overlooking my children's school, which is very close, less than 100 yards away. and i got a text from a friend that said, holy cow, there has been an explosion at the airport. about half an hour or so late, i got another text from a friend saying did you hear about the explosion on the metro. and that was when i really felt panicked because i realized then they were in a multistage attack that was like paris, and all i could think of is what is going

to happen next? and how about my children? i had just threw on what i could find, and didn't even put a coat on, and i ran out to the children's school. and i went in and i found my daughter and my son and i just said, we have to go. and i had their hands really tight and started walking as fast as i could home and i explained to them there had been, you know, an attack and my son said, is this like paris? and i said, yes. and then he said, are we on lockdown again? and i said, yes. and what was amazing was that he took this in, he didn't seem particularly frightened, he just -- he understood he was used to this and that was one of the things that made me feel sad is that he had become -- this had become part of our life. i've done things that i never expected to have to do here in europe, talk about making sure you know where the exits are and, you know, how to hit the

ground. i think there is a universal feeling among parents who come here from america that this has become a very different experience than they imagined. >> uncomfortable new normal there. you just got back from spending a week in brussels, back less than 24 hours. what struck you? >> funny, i was in paris after the attacks too and it was a much different feeling. we saw these memorials emerge, so there is a place where we showed pictures of it and we can show you here, these are the early memorials on wednesday. just about 24 hours after the attacks and initially it sort of felt to us like it would be where people came together in paris, but it had a different feeling. there was -- there were a lot of people coming together. there were constantly people there. but i think the things that were different, people sort of expected this. right. my sister lives in paris and said to me this is harder for me than paris because it feels much more real. and i feel like it can now happen anytime. we knew it would, but now it is happening.
6:58 am
you saw people coming together, but the fact you couldn't get that close to some of the sites too made it feel a little different in the city. in paris, we were right at the bataclan, right outside the cafes where terrorists had come by and killed people and you couldn't get to the airport for days. and it took them a long time to start to be able to identify people and we didn't have all those stories right away. i think that changes the mood a little bit. and we hear a lot when we talk with terror analysts about how things are divided in belgium and all these layers of investigative bodies and law enforcement and how that can really hinder things and that was a big topic of discussion. but i will say the other thing that struck me, people are so kind and it is one of the most beautiful cities i've ever been to, never been to brussels before and one thing that really always kind of makes you feel a little bit better, the first day we got there, we went to our location and there was a little kid running around a pond and you see the children and you think you got to have faith
