the first victim to be identified is ruiz of peru. she was at the airport with her johnathan vigliotti begins our coverage from brussels. >> reporter: brussels airport remains closed for the second day in a row. the city of brussels, though, is slowly coming back to life. we have been garbage trucks taking their daily routes and we have seen cars on the streets and people walking on the sidewalks and buses packed with people heading to work. much different scenario what unfolded yesterday where a block away from the train station that came under attack. you can see it is still closed, but police here on the scene, as they continue their investigation. all of this unfolding, of course, as police continue their search for at least one suspect that remains at large. [ screaming ] >> reporter: passengers ran in panic after a bomb exploded in the departures area of brussels

morning. a second blast followed. >> it was very loud. it was not something that sat on the ground or something. it was -- you felt kind of shocked. >> reporter: belgian police say these are the suspects. investigators believe the two men in black blew themselves up. they wore gloves that may have hid detonators and a hundred for the man in white wearing a hat. an hour later, a bomb tore through a subway station that serves the european parliament. >> we received a big blast of air and the train stopped. >> reporter: people scrambled through the dark tunnels to safety. belgian security forces have been conducting raids here in brussels and one of them, investigators say they found an explosive device with nails, chemicals, and an isis flag. americans are among the injured. knocked 37-year-old sebastian bellin to the ground.

maker. what can you tell us about these three men? >> reporter: well, the two men who were seen in the video believed to be the suicide bombers were known to the belgian police but the police said no link to terrorism. however, laachroui is another case altogether. apparently, his dna was found in an apartment used by the paris attackers. he is directly linked to that. they think he may well be the master bombmaker. he traveled to hungary last year with salah abdeslam to paris for the terrorist attacks there. authorities are arriving here to work with their european counterparts, specifically to look at the bomb and how it was made, because the more they found out about the specifics of the bomb, the expertise that went into it, the more clues

and they can trace back perhaps to where he got the bits' pieces but it's a long, slow process. >> since friday, belgium has been on high alert but they weren't able to stop what happened yesterday. i'm wondering if the people of brussels are beginning to lose faith in the fact that authorities may or may not be able to protect them? >> i think that would be a natural thing, although people here do realize also this is a very difficult thing to do. you simply can't find everybody all the time. it's interesting. i was here after the paris bombings and this city was on a stage iv alert level and streets were closed and no available here. and today behind there is lots of traffic and kid are going to school and public transport, with the exception of the line that was bombed, is open and running. people are being weary and cautious and they, obviously, want their political and security people to get a handle on this, but i think europe is

it's going to happen. you're not going to be able to stop it all and it can take all of the sensible precaution they can and get on with life and that is the way that you kind of hit back at them. now there will be a minute of silence here today, later on in the morning, to honor those who were killed but then people will get right back to business. they are nervous, but they are not running scared. >> we saw that in paris and i guess we're seeing it now in brussels. allen pizzey, thank you very much. dozens of americans were caught in the chaos of tuesday's attacks. it's unclear whether any u.s. citizens were killed or how many were hurt. but some who survived the attacks are sharing their stories, while others are waiting word from their loved ones. >> i was in line to check in and she was sitting in the seat with her husband waiting for me to finish.
