Why This Istanbul Attack Feels Different
âÂÂToo close to home,' is how most of my friends and colleagues in Istanbul described the attack at the city's main airport. I feel the same. I fly in or out of Ataturk International airport a few times every month for work. I know its entrances and exits, the security barriers and shops, like the back of my hand. So when I saw the videos which emerged of the blast soon after, it's like seeing the street I live on being blown up.Ã
