That site appears totally blank to me... But shit, if true, I hope the damage is minimal.

Shots fired according to the source in the OP, if google translate is steering me correctly here.

 

[glaringradio]

This is a very busy airport. I shudder to think about the casualties

 

[FullMetaltech]

Terrible. I hope there aren't any heavy casualties.

 

[Palette Swap]

Jesus.

 

[dealer-]

This shit month just keeps on giving. Hope there are no casualties.

 

[Kolx]

I think we already know who the two suspects are. Fuck whoever did this.

 

[Jacksinthe]

Mother of FUCK this shit is tiring. Hoping for no casualties

2016 continuing its solid run.

 

[John Kowalski]

Goddammit.

 

[TimeEffect]

So frustrating and sad.

 

[Frustrated_me]

My mom and sister are scheduled to fly there tonight from Canada

 

[Guevara]

This is terrible. It reminds me of the thread from earlier this month:

Would love to travel to Turkey in the near future but being next to the clusterfuck that is Syria I'm going to have to delay that indefinitely.

Yes, you may just want to avoid that part of the world for the next 2 or 3 hundred years.

 

[MistakenMobius]

Fuck fuck fuck...
Called my dad, he is ok, is he out of Istanbul.
Feeling relief and bad at the same time

 

[Enduin]

Damn, hope there weren't any serious injuries. Friend just flew back out of there last night.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Are those all ceiling tiles blasted down?

 

[paperboywriter]

So what's going on? Man what a week

 

[maquiladora]

Are those all ceiling tiles blasted down?

Looks like it.

 

[exmachina64]

Fuck.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Uggh. I feel bad every time this kind of shit happens. WTF is wrong with people. Does killing innocent people ever solve anything?

 

[Gattsu25]

😰

Condolences to those injured. It's likely to be an unrequited hope but I'm hoping for no deaths except for the cunts responsible.

 

[Snarfington]

Got a friend due to fly through there in the next few days, not sure when. I don't think it was today but I'll be second guessing myself until I hear from him. Worried.

Somehow I doubt he'll be going through there now.

 

[Mesousa]

Insane!

 

[Palette Swap]

My thoughts go to anyone who's got loved ones near this.

2016 continuing its solid run.

We'll be halfway three days from now. I really hate this year.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Those look like dead bodies to me.

 

[The Lamp]

I went last October and hated the confusing layout of that airport. Looks like we traveled there at a time before all this shit started getting really bad. I'm sad I can't recommend going back for a long time. It's just not safe for tourists. Hoping for minimal injuries. RIP to any victims.

I'm sick and tired of these posts on Gaf. Everytime there's a tragedy somewhere there's always an idiot whose first thought is " WELL THEY WON'T BE GETTING MY TOURIST DOLLARS ANYTIME SOON. WHAT A SHITHOLE OF A COUNTRY "

Who gives a fuck dude ? There has just been another terrorist attack. Many people are prob dead. And all you can think about is how you won't be able to visit ?

 

[NateDrake]

Turkish officials suspect it was a suicide attack.

 

[GHG]

Hopefully this isn't as bad as it looks.

Fuck.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

By the way, these are probably Kurdish terrorists.

 

[Meier]

Those look like dead bodies to me.

I actually did not even notice the people at first.. just was focused on the foreground. Yikes.

 

[maquiladora]

Those look like dead bodies to me.

I can't really see, I thought it was just showing damage, but I have deleted the image now just in case.

 

[olympia]

isis or pkk?

 

[PodcastFips]

Another thread full of pictures with dead bodies?
Is this 4chan?

 

[RiZ III]

That's awful

 

[ChaosZeroX]

What the fuck man.... So sad..

 

[MikeHattsu]

Oh shit :\

There's no gore so it should be fine but I deleted it, too.

 

[TheRealTalker]

ISIS or PKK

could be PKK since most of these attacks recently have been them

 

[m_shortpants]

Fuck. Hope everyone is okay...this is crazy
