21 Beautiful And Defiant Tributes To The Victims Of The Belgium Terror Attacks
Artists from all over the world are grieving with the people of Brussels.
The city of Brussels has been on lockdown Tuesday following deadly attacks at the city's main airport and at a subway station. At least 13 people are dead after the explosions at the airport and local media are reporting up to 10 people were killed in the separate attack on the Maelbeek metro station.
"What we've feared has happened, we were hit by unforeseen attacks," Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said at a press conference.
On social media, artists — many of them French — expressed their sadness and solidarity with the people of Belgium.

In The News Today: Explosions In Brussels Killed Dozens Of People
HERE ARE THE TOP STORIES
Dozens of people died in bombings in Brussels on Tuesday morning.
What we know so far:
There were two explosions at the international airport in Brussels around 8 a.m. local time. Another explosion hit Maelbeek metro station, which is close to the headquarters of the European Union, about an hour later, BuzzFeed News reports.
The Belgian federal prosecutor described all three explosions as terrorist attacks.
Authorities evacuated the airport and canceled all the flights in and out of Brussels. There’s a complete shutdown on all forms of transit in the city – trams, buses, trains. Eurostar canceled all train services connecting the city to Paris and London.
Belgium has raised its terror threat level to “maximum”, and both London and Paris have deployed additional police forces.
Last Friday, authorities in Brussels captured Salah Abdeslam, who is a key suspect in the deadly November attacks in Paris. Belgian prosecutors charged him with “terrorist murder,” and France has requested his urgent extradition.

U.S. Elections: The 2016 presidential primaries head west.
There’s a presidential primary in Arizona, caucuses in Utah, a Democratic caucus in Idaho, and a Republican caucus in American Samoa today, BuzzFeed News reports.
Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will look to rack up more delegates — the people who actually choose their party’s nominee at the summer convention — to stretch their lead.
And a little extra.
Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, is facing allegations of making sexually suggestive comments, according to sources who have shared details with BuzzFeed News.
He has faced an onslaught of critical coverage recently, after he allegedly manhandled former Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields at a Trump press conference in Florida.
The details about Lewandowski’s conduct come at a fraught moment for the Trump campaign. Opponents have criticized Trump for the violence at his campaign events.

THE LATEST FROM APPLE
The FBI has canceled the Apple hearing that was scheduled to take place today — and is exploring another method of accessing the San Bernardino attacker’s iPhone.
On the eve of the arguments — and hours after an Apple product launch event — the government told the court that “a possible method for unlocking” the phone was demonstrated to the FBI by “an outside party,” Chris Geidner reports for BuzzFeed News.
On the product side: Apple unveiled a smaller iPhone, a new iPad Pro, an Apple Watch price cut, and an iOS update.
The new iPhone has the same innards as the iPhone 6S; and the new, also smaller, iPad Pro has a 9.7 inch display and weighs less than 1 pound. Both devices are available to order on March 24, and will ship on March 31, BuzzFeed’s John Paczkowski reports.
Apple also introduced CareKit, a tool that will let iPhone users update their doctors and families about their health, Paczkowski writes.
And a little extra.
The new, smaller iPhone could be a better fit for women. Apple didn’t explicitly design the iPhone SE for women, just like it didn’t explicitly design its largest phones — the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus — for men. But some women are excited about the release of a smaller, more manageable model, BuzzFeed News’ Caroline O’Donovan writes.
DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS?
World No. 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic thinks male tennis players deserve higher pay than their female counterparts.
Speaking after his win in the Indian Wells final, Djokovic said men should continue to be paid more “because the stats are showing that we have much more spectators on the men’s tennis matches.”
This is despite the fact that last year the women’s U.S. Open final sold out before the men’s, BuzzFeed News’ Rose Troup Buchanan writes.
Djokovic’s comments come after Raymond Moore, the Indian Wells CEO and BNP Paribas Open tournament director, sparked outrage when he said women in the sport ride on men’s coattails. Moore has since resigned.
Djokovic said he had “tremendous respect” for women’s achievements in tennis. “Their bodies are much different to men’s bodies,” he told reporters. “They have to go through a lot of different things that we don’t have to go through. You know, the hormones and different stuff, we don’t need to go into details.”

Happy Tuesday
People in Nova Scotia handed out envelopes of money and beautiful things happened — from buying lunch for strangers to paying for their coffee. A group of locals hid close to $1,000 in 170 pink envelopes, with notes encouraging people to pay it forward, writes BuzzFeed Canada’s Craig Silverman. What would you do if you found one of the envelopes?
The project was the work of the local Awesome Foundation chapter. “It was amazing to see people’s reactions, the smiles, the excitement, and the shock of just finding money in a pink envelope that says ‘open me,’” said James Smeaton, who helps run the chapter.

A Family Texted The Wrong Number About A Baby's Birth But This Guy Showed Up Anyway
“Since we got invited already, we thought we might as well give them gifts.”
Deorick Williams had just woken up from a nap at home in Bainbridge, Georgia when he got a message that someone was having a baby.
Deorick Williams
Williams told BuzzFeed News that he had just returned from an out of town trip and was slightly disoriented from the nap.
"I didn't realize it was somebody I didn't know," he said. "And I started getting dressed to go."
He then realized that he didn't recognize any of the numbers on the thread. So he sent a polite text telling the group they had the wrong number.

There Is A Livestream Of A Man Who Refuses To Come Down From An 80-Foot Tree
The unidentified man threw an apple, branches and pine cones at police officers attempting to rescue him.
"It is quite a spectacle, honestly," police spokesman Patrick Michaud told The Seattle Times on Tuesday.
It is unclear why the man scaled the tree, which is believed to have been in place since the 1970s and is decorated every year for Christmas.
"We want to make sure he's OK and that he can get down from the tree without hurting himself or someone else," Michaud said. "We're on his schedule — we're not going to rush it with someone at the top of a tall tree. If you rush it, it could become dangerous."
KOMO News in Seattle has been livestreaming the entire event.
Seattle police received reports shortly after 11 a.m. PT on Tuesday that a man had climbed the tree, according to a statement released by the Seattle Police Department. The cops have since been leading rescue efforts to coax the man down.
Seattle Police Department / Via spdblotter.seattle.gov
Police negotiators and crisis intervention specialists climbed a Seattle fire truck ladder to make face-to-face contact with the man, who they believe is in the midst of a crisis. But their early rescue efforts appeared futile.
