Sadly the resolution of that livestream is too low to really see what's happening. I don't see people screaming and running in panic so I doubt they're firing into the crowd.

this means that a donation of 30 dollars to a developer that did not deliver would equal 4.769*10^-14 hitlers stolen from you
that's like half a femtohitler

Aw crap. Turkish mosques are calling upon their communities to take to the streets and protest the coup.

Imams at mosques call out for people to get out on the streets and oppose the coup.

I got a creeping suspicion this time the coup will fail and Turkey will descend even further to Islamism.

I think this coup will be crashed by morning. I really hope that I am wrong because this may be the last chance for secular and more or less democratic Turkey

Military helicopters firing into the street (crowd?) in Ankara.
Or Russian helicopter firing somewhere over Syria somewhere in the past few months

A crowd of Turks has gathered around the Turkish consulate in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. Police are arriving to hopefully keep the peace.

I've seen what was probably the same attack from several angles now. Very likely the real thing.

Theres also videos of fighter jets buzzing Istanbul at very low altitude dropping below building tops even, dropping flares.

I'm following these two plus reddit and some others:

Seems like in the age of social media, old military coup strategies no longer work. Well, even by those standards, this coup has been especially shitty - no one important has been arrested! WTF Turkey, I thought your military was better than that.

Guess that's what Erdogan's coup-proofing was for.

The buildings look too intact to be Syria.

Even though the anti-Erdogan forces look outnumbered, they can (and will, and already did) fire at civilians - it will not end well.

There are reports of a pro-Erdogan F-16 shooting down an attack helicopter (anti-Erdogan). We civil war now?

I dunno. Many have probably escaped, like Ergodan, and some where reported arrested hours ago.
