                      Internet Reacts to Belgium Massacre

   by VOA News

   The Internet can be [1]silly, but it can also be moving in times of
   strife.

   Not long after bomb blasts ripped through the airport and a subway
   station in Brussels, Belgium Tuesday, killing dozens and wounding
   hundreds more, the Internet erupted in emotional tributes to victims.

   Many featured Tintin, a famous Belgian cartoon character, while others
   riffed on similar responses to the Paris attacks last year. Like with
   the Paris attacks, many reactions featured the Belgian flag as well as
   Brussels tourist spots such as the famous statue of a cherubic little
   boy urinating called Manneken Pis.

   The attacks also spawned the expected hashtags, including
   #JeSuisBruxelles, or "I am Brussels,"#prayforbrussels and
   #prayforbelgium.

   Here are just a few:
