Creighton University junior Nicole Guetzke said reality hit hard Tuesday after the explosions in Brussels “traced my footsteps for the past 24 hours.”

The Minnesota native, who is studying abroad for a semester at Vesalius College in Belgium, flew into the Brussels Airport on Monday, a day before the bombings there.

She was returning from a weekend in Marseilles, France, on one of the few flights to leave France after labor strikes at that nation’s airports. If her flight had been canceled like many others, the marketing major wrote from Brussels, she probably would have been flying into Brussels on the day of the bombings.

As it was, Guetzke headed to school early Tuesday to prepare for an exam — and was on the city’s subway when the two explosions hit the airport.
