As people tried to come to terms with Tuesday's suicide bomb attacks in Belgium, a crowd that had gathered to grieve in central Brussels broke into an impromptu performance of John Lennon's "Imagine."
Gathered in a circle, with arms wrapped around one another, a small group started to sing Lennon's well-known peace anthem Tuesday night in the capital city's Place de la Bourse. Soon, more voices from the crowd joined in.
Earlier Tuesday, people used chalk to write messages of grief and hope in the streets, including the square.
"Pray for Belgium," one message said. "Islam -- it's not terrorism," another said.
Explosions at Brussels Airport and the Maelbeek Metro station claimed at least 31 lives, according to Belgian officials. About 270 people were injured.
Authorities identified Khalid El Bakraoui as the suicide bomber in the attack on Maelbeek Metro station while his brother, Ibrahim El Bakraoui, was the suicide bomber who struck the airport. At least one other person remained at large Wednesday.
