Sebastien Bellin, the star center for the Gent Hawks pro basketball team in Belgium, was among those injured in the Brussels Airport bombing this morning. According to reports, including BC Telenet, with whom Bellin played from 2006-09, he was so close to the blast that he was “thrown out 20 meters”, and sustained a serious injury to his leg.
