25. Brussels Bombing Hoax - Sebastien's Tall Tales _ Changing Reason

Video Transcript:

Hello again. As always, thank you for joining me. Today will be a relatively short one. I want to focus on Sebastian Belin and the incredible and ever-changing account of his experience from the March 22nd Brussels Airport attack. Because of you who have watched my previous videos will be familiar by now with Sebastian and the one aspect of his story that has remained somewhat consistent, namely that he was injured in the first explosion. You also know by now this cannot be true. If you're new to my channel, I encourage you to at least watch my previous video, posted April 6th, entitled Location Location. For a more detailed analysis of much of what I'll be referencing today. What prompted today's video was a particular associated press article I came across this morning. But before we address that, I'd like to quickly look back at some of Sebastian's earlier interviews. For reference, here's a map of the departure hull. The two explosion sites are indicated, here and here. The following clip is from a March 24 interview with ABC's David Mir. As you'll hear, he claims to have seen the first explosion near the pharmacy, which is here. Shortly before being struck with something, he then falls to the ground realizing his leg has been severed. He goes on to say he was eventually taken to safety by Six Firemen. I just saw, I remember seeing an explosion, the first explosion near the pharmacy at the airport. I turned my head and I saw all these people running. Something hit me, like I got shot in the hip and I fell to the ground. My leg was just completely severed. I was just that way, I was going that way and I was just in shock and I couldn't move anything. Like Six Firemen picked me up and wheeled me all the way back to a emergency area. Next up is also from March 24. This time with a CBS correspondent, you'll see his story has become a bit more elaborate. This time we learn not only that he was merely struck by something, but that the first explosion actually threw him into the air. He also now references what sounds like a tremendously serious hip injury, in addition to his severed leg. We also have the introduction of a helpful stranger who, in addition to dragging Sebastian to safety, applied a cloth turnicate to Sebastian's leg. He was walking to airport security when the first bomb went off. The power of the blast sent the six foot ten athlete flying more than 50 feet through the air. I remember falling down and my hip just exploding. I looked down and I see massive bones just sticking out and then I hear the second explosion. I think that's really what saved me because I was already on the ground when the explosion second one went off. Helpless and bleeding out, a stranger dragged him to safety. And he's the one that put kind of a cloth to stop bleeding on my leg because my leg was completely attached and I was screaming. Note that he specifically states that his being on the ground in the aftermath of the first blast is what likely prevented further injury from the second blast. Finally, here's a March 25 interview with CNN. Here Sebastian goes into further detail regarding his alleged gruesome hip injury and severed leg. We hear again that the fact that Sebastian was knocked to the floor by the first blast likely helped him survive the second. We also learned that a helpful stranger was an African man who put Sebastian's legs up on a suitcase to slow the blood loss. Yet there's no mention of the cloth turnicate in this rendition. A former US college and Belgian national basketball player, his picture, injured quickly circulated online, he found his legs gave way. A total stranger saved him putting his legs up on a suitcase, slowing blood loss before medics reached him. A final bizarre bit from this particular interview is Sebastian's claim that the location of the second explosion is where he had just been. Let's watch that again. But this makes no sense, as this would imply that he had been walking southward away from the gates when the first bomb exploded. He supposedly had just purchased a ticket and according to the CBS interview was heading toward airport security. He was walking to airport security when the first bomb went off. The power of the blast sent the 6 foot 10 athlete flying more than 50 feet through the air. Airport security and gate access are north of the departure hall. So also that as of March 17th of this year, this access point was closed. Again, while Sebastian's recollection of events has been exceedingly fluid, the common element has been that he was injured in the first blast. And based on this assertion, we were able to demonstrate with absolute certainty that the various renditions of his story are all of them fabrications. The two blast locations are several hundred feet apart. He was photographed just a few yards from the site of the second blast, which means he could not possibly have been anywhere near the first. Again, please see my previous video for more specifics regarding where all of this took place. So one last time, Sebastian was injured in the first explosion. And then we find this article dated April 7th from the Associated Press. Suddenly, as if all of his previous statements had never been uttered, Sebastian, after hearing the first blast, ran for his life only to be blown into the air by the second explosion. How about that? And no longer do we have the helpful stranger applying the tourniquet, but an army medic instead. Of course, this is impossible, as we can clearly see the tourniquet is already in place in this photograph, taken by Kate of Ankhardava, allegedly just moments after the second blast. And the cherry on top? He lost 50% of his blood. Or in a fact, anything over 40% is considered a class-four hemorrhage. Blood pressure falls through the floor and without immediate intervention, organ failures seem to follow. But this apparently didn't happen to Sebastian. He didn't even lose consciousness. Why? Because he ate a lot of pasta the night before. Very few things in life are both hilarious and terrifying simultaneously. This is one of those things. So if anyone out there is still wondering how they get away with this stuff, this is how it's done. If one story doesn't work, we're just told a different one the next day. And we see no corrections, no retractions, no questions. Truth has become simply, whatever we're told most recently.
