I'm Vladimir D for 48 hours throughout the course of my career tragically I've had to cover terrorist attacks all
00:00:08
around the world and they always leave you with a sense of loss a sense of Devastation a sense of wanting to learn
00:00:16
more about the people that you cover and it's always hard because you're moving on to the next
00:00:25
story when the attacks in Brussels happened I had that same sense of Devastation and it was while I was in
00:00:32
Brussels that I had the opportunity to meet one of the victims of the terrorist bombings in Brussels at the airport
00:00:39
Sebastian bellan hey Sebastian how's it going man here's a man who's got two beautiful little daughters a wife who
00:00:46
loves him doing what most of us do traveling on business and then a bomb goes off and in this particular case the
00:00:57
journey that I've had with Sebastian from the moment that I met him has been incredibly fortunate for me uh it's
00:01:05
something that I've never had the chance to do yo oh man what's up man it's good to see
00:01:13
look at you we instantly build a connection a connection that I've never had in my career with somebody who's
00:01:20
been affected by something so terrible even when he was broken and bruised and shattered I could feel
00:01:28
coming off of him this immense strength and it frankly enveloped me and it made me want to know him better and it made
00:01:37
me want to understand how he could be so strong just a couple of days after going
00:01:42
through something like that and we were very fortunate that he allowed us into his life into his recovery
00:01:52
process so join me for the Long Road Home Saturday on 48 hours
