Coincidentally, I was witness to a bombing (no one injured) in Istanbul--twenty some years ago. It was in an orange plastic waste bin in the main square. I turned away and walked rapidly in the other direction, passing scores of men running toward the bomb site.sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 11:45 am Today is the 10th anniversary of my oldest daughter, the awkward nerd girl abroad, witnessing a terrorist attack when she was teaching in Turkey. She was literally 10 feet away when he opened fire. The photo in the article was taken by her (even though it's credited to the AP) and shows how close she was to him. She's in Brazil now, but has a history of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, so if she ever invites you to visit, politely turn her down.

Later I went back and picked up a burnt piece of orange plastic as a souvenir.
