That might be a hard call to make. IIRC, AA does not have fixed check-in counters at BRU. You have to look at a departures monitor to see which check-in desk numbers to use.
Edit: Well, authorities have now confirmed that there was also an attack on the metro system in Brussels. So I would rule out this explosion at BRU as being an accident (like from a severed gas line).
