[Dr. Pezus]

It failed?

[Legend]

It failed?

No. Niether side is going to give up and it'll keep getting worse.

It seems like it's over. Is it not?

Live steam of the CNN building.

[Legend]

It seems like it's over. Is it not?

No. Each side's PR is still claiming a victory, and each side is still fighting. Will probably not end for hours at the minimum, even though the coup seems to have failed.

dang, It looks staged. Seems like a planned coup from Erodogan to take over turkey. Apparently he said the coup was a gift from god, now he can clean the military and talked about a "new turkey".

The Turkish government has embarked on a purge of the judiciary following the botched coup, state TV reports, in the first sign of how last night could increase Erdogan's authoritarian rule.

NTV said 2,745 judges had been removed from duty, following a decision of the High Council of Judges.

Five members of the High Judiciary Court Board were also removed. "

 That certainly feeds into conspiracy theories about a fake coup.

 

This, and this, are certainly worrying newshttp://www.reuters.com/article/us-tu...-idUSKCN0ZW0SZTurkish authorities deny movement on and off Incirlik air base: U.S. consulate
 The U.S. consulate in Turkey said on Saturday the authorities were denying movements onto and off Incirlik air base near Adana following an attempted military coup overnight.
 The U.S. military uses Incirlik to conduct air strikes against Islamic State militants in neighboring Syria. In an emergency message for U.S. citizens, the consulate also said power supplies to the base had been cut.
