That's some crazy stuff going on lately.
Turkey is really hitting that downhill slope in stride these days. Hopefully the numbers come in low if there are any.
An eye witness just said that another gunfight started just now. From what I've been told the attackers are shooting at the civillians now fuckin sickos
I heard 10 confirmed dead
I'm willing to bet my money on shitlamists. Also government just confirmed that 10 Turkish citizens had been killed. + There are rumors that gunfight is still going on in the airport. EDIT: 50 wounded

[quote]The attackers reportedly tried to penetrate the "control point" coming into the airport. Security personnel then opened fire to "neutralise" the attackers, who then detonated their explosives, authorities said.

Nearly 50 or 50+ people dead now.
Fucking ISIS, should have known it was them. Three of them are killed and there are four still at large.

I love how before, during and after the EU referendum everyone was debating that Turkey are "moments away" from joining the EU, even though they hadn't even voted yet, and they should stay where they are because of "TERRORISM!" etc, and now the Brits are all "#PRAYFORTURKEY!!! T_T" on Twitter :v:
This is sickening. Turkey seem to be getting right in the shitter lately. Those poor people, and their families:/. I hope those injured make a full recovery.
Poor Turkey. Its tourism industry is gonna pull a Egypt, and spiral down like a rocket. Its already been dropping because of the bombings, but now its going to go even lower. Its not like its been going well recently there either what with the refugee crisis, the bombings, the crime, etc etc. All you turkish people have my sincere respect.

[QUOTE=DJrorok;50613243]Just because you dont want immigrants in your country doesnt mean you enjoy their deaths.[/QUOTE] Who is saying anything about scary Turkish immigrants? Turkey shouldn't join the EU because Turkey is a failed democracy with journalists getting jailed and with their leader saying things like "democracy is irreverent/we are an Islamist country"
I just realized I had a friend that left for an Europe tour yesterday. She mentioned she'd go to Turkey, but hopefully it wasn't her first stop. I'm worried now that in the following months (she's staying a month and a few days) something bad happens to her.
Law enforcement managed to shoot one of these pieces of shit and paralyze him before he blew him self up. At least some people were saved. Vaguely NSFW warning. [media]https://twitter.com/sco1905/status/747902680220205056[/media]
