the diamond heist in brussel
February 18,2013
Today I'm lucky to be alive, it was a normal day work,at the Brussels airport until two black vans broke through the fenced area. I heard a loud noise I saw pieces of the fence flying everywhere to the Swiss bound plane. The two black vans looked like police vans so they must have been police officers until they got out and flashed machine guns at us. I felt so scared and a little confused because I didn't know what was going on and they were dressed as police officers and were pointing a gun at me. The eight men got out of the two vans and boarded the cargo area of the plane. I knew that the diamonds were on the plane, but what was i suppose do? I was being held at gunpoint, my heart was pounding and beating so fast, It was like I was dying. I was scared, but then it was over in a matter of five minutes.

The robbers made off with 50 millions dollars worth of diamond. The diamond were being transported from Antwerp to Zurich. It was uncommon for diamond to go through this airport. as a security officer I think they might have had an inside man or a really good connection, but when I was being held at gunpoint I didn't recognize any of the people that were stealing the diamonds.

Today the police were investigating the broken fence and the plane. They found a burnt-out vehicle late on Monday night after I went home. The police were asking everyone what they saw but everybody said the same thing “I saw two black vans charge the gate then eight men got out and flashed machine guns but they did not fire.” or they said “That it well organized to only take five minutes.” well i think the thieves who did this knew a lot of information, or must have had someone who knew that the diamonds were going to be transported at the airport ,I think this because the diamond heist was really planned out and very well organized.The diamond thieves must have not want it all because they only took one-hundred and twenty packages and the left the rest.
But today i had to talk with the police because i was held at gunpoint and they wanted to know everything that i saw and i told them everything from when they broke through the fence and to when they fled the scene.
