48 HOURS takes viewers inside international basketball star-turned-tech entrepreneur, Sebastien Bellin's, remarkable eight-month journey of recovery after being nearly killed in the March terrorist attacks in Brussels, in a special "Live to Tell: The Long Road Home," to be broadcast Saturday, Nov. 26 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Bellin was in the Brussels airport when terrorists set off bombs there and at a nearby train station, killing 32 people. Bellin, who lives in Michigan, was almost one of them, as the bomb shattered some of his bones and tore his muscles. By the time he got to the hospital two hours later, he had lost 50 percent of his blood.

"The violence of an explosion just rocks you," Bellin says recounting that day. He saw the pools of blood forming around his legs. In that instant, his thoughts turned to his family back in Battle Creek, Michigan, his wife, Sara, and daughters Cecilia and Vanessa.

"I didn't really care whether I had legs or not, I just was going to be alive. I was going to be able to see Sara, Cecilia and Vanessa again," Bellin says. "And so that became my motivation, really, throughout the - it was my two girls."

Reported by Vladimir Duthiers, "Live to Tell: The Long Road Home" is an unprecedented look at what it takes to survive an attack and put a life back together - including the setbacks and incredible highs. The broadcast features Bellin's moving, first-person account of the attack, his refusal to let the terrorists win, and how his 15 years as a basketball player in Europe prepared him for the moment that would change his life forever. "Live to Tell: The Long Road Home" follows Bellin from a hospital in Brussels, where he would be for three months, his quest to get back home to his family, through hours of intense physical therapy and an inspirational return to the basketball court.

"When you survive something like this, man, there's no one single moment where you don't, where you don't sit here in complete gratefulness," Bellin says.
