    According to the news report that I'm watching, the two main suspects are ISIS and Peshmerga. Either way, it's still unsettling.

    I figured it would be ISIS related. They are the closest country (except Syria) that ISIS would travel through to get to Europe. It would make sense for them to attack at a Turkish airport.

    I just don't get it, this doesn't help anybody, so why even do it in the first place?

    We'll never see the stars with people like this tying us down in so many locations.

    Well it makes sense to attack one of the most cosmopolitan airports in the world if you want to spread your message globally. They're just cowards and rely on paranoia to fulfill their agenda.

    Every time I hear about stuff like this; my blood boils.
    These people might have left their families for what, nothing. They have achieved nothing, their deaths where worthless; and they took 10 innocent people with them. Ugh.. Sometimes ones actions make it hard to love everyone.

    There's just no logic in humanity sometimes.

    I just heard about this from my mom. My grandma actually had a flight from that airport on that morning (in Turkish time) so she was un-harmed. My immediate family and I had took a different course so we arrived just now while my grandma's still a few hours away. It still horrified me how evil and cruel terrorists are to end so many lives and feel like they're making a noble sacrifice by giving their lives.

    I feel horrible for the people of Turkey. It's so senseless.

    It is sad when you think you might need a rubber stamp (in this case a file on my computer with a written response that can be copied and pasted to reflect who we feel about these events) to deal with so many tragedies there are to comment on nowadays.

    Even worse is that my "terrorist attack" stamp and my "mass shooting" stamp can probably just be merged into one.

    I have a friend who is in Turkey right now. Probably not Istanbul, but I still hope he's alright.
