Summary
Late in the evening of Friday, July 15, 2016, I was at home in Etiler neighborhood idly browsing social media while my then-girlfriend-now-wife Brett rehearsed music when strange reports started to appear in my Twitter feed. Military vehicles had blocked off bridges connecting Istanbul’s European and Anatolian sides; soldiers were on the street telling people to go home, that it was not a drill. Turkish Twitter was collectively realizing that a coup d’état was underway. Soldiers appeared in Taksim Square and at Istanbul airport.
