1.1. Zaventem:
On the 22th of March, 2016 there was a terror attack at the Zaventem Airport and
the Central Station of Brussels. 32 civilians were killed and more than 300 people
were injured. After the attack, the airport was 2 weeks closed to reorganise and took
safety measurements.
Afterwards, there was a lot of security and military in Belgium. The terror level was
four and as a result, military was patrolling in train stations and shopping streets.
A crisis management team was set up to follow up the situation and to take
measurements. There will also be a cooperation between the police, the hospitals, ...
Belgium will actively participate in the global anti-terrorism strategy. A national
emergency plan to deal with a terrorist attack is made.
1.2. Texaco:
Six of Texaco's African-American employees sued the company for racial
discrimination. The conversations were secretly recorded. CEO Peter Biljur started off
with a public apology and admitted embarrassment.
Texaco was an independent company until its refining operations with Chevron
Corporation in 2001, but it began as the Texas Fuel Company, founded in 1902.
The executives involved were suspended (with pay but without benefits), pending
the result of the investigations.
