alastair had a great report there. he summarized a lot of the -- but one or more hijackers could stand up in the passenger compartment of the plane if the cockpit is locked and announce they have a bomb or display a suicide belt which then the flight attendants can, you know, call the captain and say this guy here with a suicide belt on and he's threatening to detonate it. the pilot may decide we need to land right away. puts down in cyprus or makes them communicate with the hijacker or hijackers about landing the plane. he might not have enough fuel to go too far. he might have to put it down. or it could have been a breached cockpit. like alastair says, you still don't know is it a real bomb, how many actors are present. what are they demanding. what are they threatening? you've kind of got to put all that together. and you have to bring all the enforcement together to start talking with the guy. one thing you do have is a person making demands, a person communicating. that's where you begin. as desire dire as the si

we can go to alastair jamieson in london. we're getting unconfirmed reports that there have been several blasts in subway stations. one potentially near the eu building, and of course these are unconfirmed reports. for instan french media is saying there are these subway explosion. do you have any information on that? >> reporter: yes, we are seeing pictures from central brussels, showing what appears to be smoke coming from buildings close to subway stations in central brussels. but at the moment, we simply don't know what is causing those or indeed what is going on there. authorities themselves unable to conditi confirm that. but that is what french media is reporting, and as kelly was mentioning there, the belgian foreign minister did say after the arrest of abdeslam, that the cell he was hiding with was planning to restart something, that was their expression, and possibly that may have included what turns out to be the suspected attack today. don't forget, a large amount of weapons were found at the scene. there were kal

if i can go back to brussels to alastaire macdonald. the u.s. embassy has ordered u.s. citizens to shelter in place. for some of the viewers who are not familiar, describe for us what a typical or average tuesday morning would have been like at around 8:00 a.m. in a european capital like brussels. >> well it's the rush hour. it's a bright, sunny morning. brussels is an unusually traffic-heavy city for europe, but the metros and trams would have been full of a lot of people coming in from the suburbs and the countryside and on the suburban train network. and there's a lot of heavy traffic. a lot of people drive to work. and all of that would have been disrupted. the airport is on the main ring road around the city. it's a city of a million people, it's not particularly huge. but it is the time that everybody would be coming to work. there was a good deal of a disruption although it took time for news to filter through. i came through the streets at about 8:30 and it seemed pretty normal. most people seemed unaware, everything was running. but by 9:30 -- it's now after 10

alastair, we have reports that 13 people have been confirmed dead. 35 injured. are you hearing any more reports in london? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. we are hearing the other reports, the death toll has increased somewhat. and that's hardly a surprise images that we saw on social media in the immediate aftermath of the attack. we're not showing those, obviously. but clearly there were some people with some fairly horrific injuries in that terminal area following the explosion, just under two hours ago. we're also seeing on social media images from these reported explosions in the subway. including people on -- who have been taken out of a subway train near to the schuman station and have had to walk around the track and be evacuated. clearly, is this a suspension of all train services people have been evacuated in the emergency and we are seeing people being treated by emergency services outside of those subway stations in the streets. so, no confirmation of what's happened on the brussels subway system itself in town. the scene showing that something very

it doesn't surprise her that her brother alastair stopped on this desolate stretch of i-485 early yesterday morning to try to help a woman he never knew. >> that's just something that my brother would do. he was just always trying to people the best way he knew how. he walked back to help a woman who pulled over to help a woman with a flat tire. >> she was parked close to travel lanes. at which time he was standing one foot or so in the travel lane. and the transit van hit him. >> sergeant jeff nash will have to wait for blood tests from the man driving the van before deciding if they'll charge him. but he's seen this scenario too many times. drivers killed or seriously injured when they stop to help someone on a busy charlotte road or highway. >> if it goes through your mind, this might not be the smartest thing, call for help. >> the sister of the latest one to drive here would like drivers to be more careful as well. >> people need to be more aware.

it happened early yesterday the highway patrol says 26-year-old alastair teguiin was the victim. christian flores has more. >> reporter: if you looked through alastair teguiin's facebook page, a fitness fanatic. troopers tell wbtv teguiin saw a woman with a flat tire on the side of the inner loop of i-485 near exit 33. moments after pulling over getting out of his car and asked her how to help he was hit by a van and later died. troopers are calling it an accident. less than two months ago jefferson heavner saw a truck spun out on the ice. the driver of the truck was marvin lee, police say acting odd and belligerent. when he tried helping the man, lee shot and killed him. >> we never thought something like this would happen. >> fortunately not all good last week in kannapolis, ben marble and his family driving to church when they heard a loud pop a few cars in front of them. that loud pop was a gunshot. marble helped a stranger, shot during a if it of road rage. he applied first aid knowledge obtained in the military and victim survived. >> i put pressure, talking to him, walking

reporter: alastair was struck after he stopped to help a 17-year-old girl with a flat tire. >> the family of 26-year-old alastair said there are no words to describe how they feel, his sister is still processing what happend. >> people are still asking, is this real, is this a joke? are you sure it is him. reporter: she said her brother always went out of his way to in his last moments alive he was the helping someone stranded on the side of the road, she said that sounds like something he would do. >> he always thought of others before himself, he was the -- he was on his way home, after a long night at home. reporter: the fatal wreck happened sunday morning 4:00 a.m., near rocky river road exit, he got out of his car to help a 17-year-old girl with a flat tire, as he was walking over, another driver hit and killed him, and the 26-year-old just left work a night shift at label charlotte, the community has been pouring in with thoughts and prayers for the family, his sister said it will be hard to move on, but the love and support from community makes pain bearable. others, he would alway

i want to bring in nbc's alastair jamieson, he has more information.lias to travel to paris and finding his dna in one of the properties raided. >> that's right, absolutely. it turns out authorities actually had known quite a bit about this guy which makes it all the more surprising that he was able to wander through that unsecured area of the busy check in hall yesterday morning. lakraaoui was linked to the paris attacks. he had been in syria and had travelled back through europe, crossing borders in austria and hungary under the false identity, along with abdeslam who was captured in the terror raid on friday. he had been in contact while in belgium with others involved in the paris attacks. he was also linked to a bombing back in 2009 in cairo. and so there's no doubt that authorities had built up a picture about this man, about his involvement in other terror attacks and that's enabled them to make this relatively quick identification from that security video there. that you're seeing. what that also does is raises the question in many people's min

alastair wood is a top communications person or senator ted cruz. of the charge, unfortunately this abusive behavior seems to be part of the culture of the trump campaign. personal attacks, verbal attacks and no physical attacks have no place in politics or anywhere else in our society. john weaver is one of the top strategist for john kasich. weaver tweeted out a little while ago, campaigns reflect the values of the candidate. i know ourselves. if this works he would have been fired long ago. so far as far as we can tell, no statements being put out for hillary clinton or bernie sanders. we are in janesville, wisconsin holding a rally here. about four hours from now there is a massive security presence here. i may give you the lay of the land. over there you can see supporters starting to line up. that is police officer of some kind over here. just about everywhere you can see. stay with me and want to show you something. goes down into it online. this is a holiday in the outside to the highway. they've got tractors there so no cars can pull to the
