      Erdogan just declared "I'm prepared to die" which would seem to suggest that the coup is not over.

      To everyone asking if the Turkey coup was "staged." Umm, no. Forget everything else. You can't pull this off. Planes bombed parliament.

      I get mistrust of Turkey's pretty sordid mass media but we had info all night on social media. It's real, but clearly different from past.

      Most likely options, smallish faction within military attempted, and had some planes but not large number of ground forces to cover it all.

      If you *wanted* to stage a "fake" coup, the first thing is to turn off the internet, btw. This much info flowing makes "faking" implausible.

      I believe the coup has failed, It is now clear it wasn't that large or full chain-of-command. Erdogan blames Gulenists; a plausible option.

      This is not satire, or funny at the moment. Facetime *was* crucial, and video orientation *was* an actual issue.https://twitter.com/profjeffjarviss/status/754171672199041024 …

      Tonight we have seen Facetime and vertical video come into its own, and prevent a potentially dangerous coup.

      People have gotten so used to making fun of internet hype that they can't realize momentous events before them. Turkey coup attempt was one.

          Every major opposition party, organization & leading dissidents in Turkey were on the record opposing the coup attempt early. We shall see.

          Both sides claim victory. It may or may not be an "attempt." Erdogon ran away, but claims victory w/o really knowing
