East Brunswick Man at Brussels Airport During Belgium Attacks

East Brunswick, NJ - Eric Miller's plane never made it to the terminal at Brussels airport Tuesday morning.

Here is video footage, story continues below.

It had left Newark International the night before, but as soon as it touched down on the tarmac, an announcement was made that "something had happened inside the airport," and the jet taxied to a nearby hangar. There, the passengers were kept on board for about an hour, in safety, as ISIS carried out its deadly attacks inside the airport and then, about an hour later, at a subway station.

His flight was about 30 minutes land touching down in Brussels. Had it landed on time Tuesday morning, Miller would have been walking into the airport just as the bombs were exploding.

"If we were five minutes earlier, we would have been at the terminal," he told MyCentralJersey.com. "We were the last flight in."

Miller, who lives in East Brunswick, was headed to a Europe for a three-day conference. He works for BD, a Franklin Lakes-based medical technology company.

Miller told MyCentralJersey about his experience witnessing the Brussels attacks firsthand. Once they were allowed off the plane, he had to figure out how to get out of the Brussels airport, which was in chaos and completely shut down. Fortunately, he knew someone who lived nearby, who came to pick him up.

He is now trying to get to Geneva, Switzerland where he thinks it will be easier to catch a flight back to the U.S.
