South Jersey Man Remembers Friend Lost During Brussels Attacks
MOORESTOWN, N.J., (CBS) -- Through the explosions that rocked Brussels, halfway across the word the aftermath remains.
"It's pretty crazy. You never think you're going to know someone involved in that kind of thing and then you hear from someone else and you hope that everything works out," said Adam Nachmias.
Moorestown native Alexander Pinczowski was Nachmias' friend. Friday, the family of Alexander, and his sister Sascha, confirmed the two were among the 31 dead from the Isis claimed attacks. The two were Dutch, but lived in New York.
"I thought he was very smart, very bright," said Nachmias.
Nachmias and Pinczowski met about six years ago when the two were taking classes at Duke University and became fast friends.
Nachmias said that he and Alex were in North Carolina for the same time for about a year. He says when he thinks back on their friendship, the one thing that stands out most were their hikes
"I'll never forget this, he basically convinced me to cross this river on foot and it was slippery and he went and did it no problem, then I went and did it, took a bit of a spill, ruined a camera," Nachmias described.
Silly memories is all that's left. The promise of tomorrow and goals for the 31 killed, now robbed.
"It's terrible. Nobody deserved to go out like that," Nachmias said.
