Relatives can’t find siblings Alexander and Sascha Pinczowski. A couple, Justin and Stephanie Shults, are also missing.

The siblings checked in with a relative over the phone right before the bombs exploded. According to the New York Daily News, the relative heard an explosion and glass shattering before the line went dead.

Pinczowski’s mother has taken to social media, hoping that someone will recognize her children and get back to her. Friends are helping out by flooding social media with their names and begging people for help. (RELATED: Flashback Brussels Ridiculed the Idea of Islamic Violence in Ad Video)

Justin and Stephanie Shults were last seen at the airport only moments before a blast killed 11 people at the check-in counter at the Brussels’ airport.  The Shults’ were dropping off Stephanie’s mother, Carolyn Moore.

According to Moore’s sister, Betty Newsom, the U.S. embassy in Belgium has been in contact with the family. As of right now, the Shults are not on any casualty list and their phones are going straight to voicemail.

“All they can really do is go from hospital to hospital looking at the list of people that have been identified as injured,” Newsom told NBC news.

The missing Americans were not the only ones caught in the attacks. Several Americans were injured in the explosions, including three Mormon missionaries and an Air Force officer and his family. Details on their injuries have yet to be released, CBS news reports. (RELATED: Astounding Eyewitness Accounts Pouring in From Brussels)

The Joint Force Command Brunssum service member and his family were wounded at the airport. Some are reportedly in serious condition.

The three Mormon missionaries, 66-year-old Richard Norby, 20-year-old Joseph Empey, and 19-year-old Mason Wells, were dropping off a fellow missionary at the airport.

This is Mason Wells third brush with terror. Wells was at the Boston Bombings in 2014 watching his mother run the race when the explosions went off. He was also in Paris in November when the French capital was attacked.
