Holy fuck that bridge, you can hear the bullets whizzing by
"Military Special Forces commander is live on the phone at CNNTurk right now. Claiming those who attempt this coup have failed/will fail. Calls them traitors."

That's a LOT of gunfire, goddamn.
[QUOTE=Bradyns;50717524]That first link seems to suggest that it's still on-going.. is it?[/QUOTE]
Very much still going on, yes.
It's getting out of the control.
Went for a smoke and came back to shitloads of automatic fire on the bridge. Bloody ell.
I'm hearing about an unconfirmed rumor that Erdoğan and his family are escaping to Tehran and planning on heading to Qatar.
[QUOTE=Trixil;50717545]holy fuck there's a lot of gunfire on fox stream this is insane[/QUOTE]
seeing them all hit the dirt at the same time and hearing the bullets ricochet is crazy as hell
definitely hitting the ground and ricocheting
what else can the military possibly do against hordes of unarmed angry mobs?
i cant believe they would actually risk their lives for a prick like Erdogan. I bet hes laughing and smirking from wherever shithole hes hiding right now
[QUOTE=Aztec;50717534]One important thing you need in a coup is the people's support, and it looks like everyone hates the military right now so I don't know.[/QUOTE]
100% right
Maybe the military thought that those who were anti erdogan would support them in the attempt but clearly overestimated their odds.
[QUOTE]That's what I'm afraid of. Although Turkey in general seems to be anti-Russia and I don't think any of the groups there are pro-Russia. I don't even think Russia will stoop so low as to the fund their enemies either
[/QUOTE]
It would be a completely win win for russia.The funding of ISIS by Turkey would be stopped right on its tracks and it would create an utter chaos for the US And Europe.
I wonder how much ammunition that bridge squad has.
More gunfire SHIT
apparently, almost every political party including ones that outright opposes erdogan is condemning this coup, special forces commander is against it, and etc.
IMO, it seems like a hail mary effort from a military group that wanted to kill erdogan, but fucked up and let him get away
now they're just stalling to plan for what they do next
[QUOTE=MrFlashcat;50717581]Anyone have a stream link to the gunfire?[/QUOTE]

Desperate people do desperate things, let's hope this doesn't end in unnecessary bloodhed even if the coup holders and the other supporters of it will all be executed after all this.
More gunfire from the bridge.

Istanbul I believe
I'm trying to understand what going on, please correct me if I'm wrong.
From my understanding the police and some parts of the military fought some other part of the military, then attacked the intelligence building. Then Erdogan urged for protests and now people are for him?
Whats going on?
[QUOTE=The bird Man;50717587]Is the FOX 10 stream in Istanbul or Ankara?[/QUOTE]Istanbul iirc.
[QUOTE=The bird Man;50717587]Is the FOX 10 stream in Istanbul or Ankara?[/QUOTE]
the stream is directly focused on the bridge where the main confrontation between protestors & military is
and the primary source for our "oh shit, gunfire" posts
Is the coup failing?
God this is scary. Stay safe Turkish friends
