One person has been killed and at least six more injured as Turkey's Haberturk TV reports an explosion occurred at an Istanbul Metro station. The trains have been halted, passengers evacuated, and ambulances are on their way. While the cause is unknown (some are suggesting it was a power transformer), sounds of the explosion were heard across several districts of Istanbul according to local press, and residents of the city remain on high alert following Erdogan's actions last week.

Do the transformers in that part of the world shout Allah Akbar before blowing themselves up as well?
An exploded transformer is a good-nuff reason to evoke NATO’s article 5. ;-)
Looney
Power Transformers always have been extremely volatile, as they are made from highly combustible chemicals. Also, Turkey didn't shoot down the Russian jet, it was Gumby that did it. Next up on the news: Kardashians have stretch marks.
ffs
" We Transformered some folks. "
If you like your transformer, you can keep your transformer.
It's Bush's fault and your a racist.
Martial law and media ban to stop transformers next?
They are going to try and stop a coup.
RIPS
I'm so terrified I'd ready to give up all my remaining liberties. Where do I sign?
ISIS is attacking! Not.
That would be a good name for a suicide bomber "Transformer " after all they do transform from a full body into" bits o body"
#muslimlivesmatter
" I demand stricter background checks on Transformer Buyers! "
Anything related to combustion is the work of eyeSis. There's a 'lil moderately extremist terrizz in each of our cars, gas stoves, lighters, etc.
I'm scared.
If transformers can do this, I think we should give up electricity.
Must have been Putin.
Nah, if it were Vlad, there would have been a very bright light, followed by heat wave of several million degrees centigrade...
Did anyone get hertz?
" I demand they make the station area a 'Transformer-Free' zone! "
Well played...
do you know why transformers hum?
they forgot the words
Hell, the fuses they put on top of poles for cut outs (a residential transformer tap) sound like gun shots when they blow. A whole transformer, if it wasn't serviced properly and actually exploded, would be one hell of a bang and fire.
That said, the action wouldn't have been over immediately, it would continue to cook and burn - making it pretty obvious it was the source of the problem.
Here is a small, residential transformer going tits up (marked right before it pops):

Usually happens when too much water condensation orbad gsskets around the bushings gets inside and contaminates the dielectric oil. The h seperates from the o via electrolysis and any internal spark or corona sets it off.
Please stop looking for simple explanations when we all know it's a CIA op.
Is Turkey Waging War on Russia in Crimea, the Caucasus, and Central Asia? …. Sputnik News Interviews Saker http://thesaker.is/is-turkey-waging-war-on-russia-in-crimea-the-caucasus...Even the power transformers can interpret the violence mandated in the muslim's holy book...
Qur'an - Surah (Ch.) 33:5:The only recompense of those who make war against Allâh and His Messenger and who strive hard to create disorder in the land, is (according to the nature of the crime) that they be executed or crucified to death, or that their hands and feet be cut off on account of their opposition, or their (free) movement in the land be banned (by exile or imprisonment). This would mean ignominy for them in this world and there awaits them in the Hereafter a severe punishment.
~Gene Rosen
Pissass terrorist country soon to be part of the EU. Tourists should reconsider Paris as tourist destination, and go to Sochi or Crimea instead.
No, they shout "Hail Megatron!" like in other parts of the world.
The guilty are afraid. Retribution for the cowardly attack on the Russian jet is coming.
You reap, what you sew.
Or is this Putin exacting revenge covertly? Shooting down the Russian bomber will not go unpunished....publicly or privately.
So many possibilities.
Did they find any transformer passports laying about?
The transformer collapsed in free fall.
During Thanksgiving dinner, one of my family members gave us a long explanation about how Bin Laden was a brilliant engineer and knew precisely the spot on each tower to hit with the planes to cause structural collapse. I started horse-laughing right there at the table, earning myself a Shut The Fuck Up! stare from my wife.
The best way for government to hold power is to keep the sheep scared. I'm from the government and I'm here to terrorize.., er I mean protect you.
The problem with this is that it only works (best) on Westerners. Westerners are so used to wars "being over there", and are so attached to their material goods that they're afraid of death and will squeal like stuck pigs at the slightest "terror attack"
The Turks aren't like Americans or Europeans, they KNOW what their government is up to right down to the letter. There were massive protests against Syrian intervention in Turkey from 2013-2014. The current Turkish government is running Turkey into the ground, away from the ideals Ataturk intended and, by now, there should have been a military coup to stop this. Unfortunately all of the Generals who would have led this coup were arrested and thrown in jail.
NATO (read: America) will throw away its proxies one by one until they remove Assad, destroy Iran and get their much desired war with Russia/China to save their dying economy. It's disgusting how many people are marching to the war drums even on this site.
No negs assigned btw.
I've worked on numerous transformers and when they cook off it isnt good.
here is a video of one:

Have they blamed Russia yet?
That would be just plain silly. They will probably blame the Kurds.
Another possible "culprit" could be ISIS, so they can feign belligerence.
Depends if it was a Russian made transformer.
if it was russian people there won't be "only" one dead ... they would have blow up the whole station putin style bitches !
Power trans-former...
You no say daddy me Snow ya gonna blame
A licky boom boom down, indeed.
Every bump in the night will be the Russian bogeyman.
I am the boogyman
I guess we've gotten sick of the terrorist boogeyman and now we're returning to the good old ruskies.
Hmmm, what would a psychopathic despot do in this situation?
Ah, right ... he would blow up his own people, confiscate their guns and blame it on someone else who he wants the people to hate.
A REAL enemy would go after the leader and his power base.
Clearly this calls for a ban on transformers and moar "Transfomer free zone "signs.
Transformers facilitate electricity created by carbon based fuels and contribute to global warming and as such transformers are actually terrorist creators.
Maybe our dear leader Obama's next faze in fighting ISIS is to bomb all the transformers. He's smart like that.
He says he simply comes from a different tribe. I think probably Dumbfuckistan. Somewhere south of Chicago.
Operation Gladio in full swing.
.
When transformers are banned only outlaws will have transformers.
Yeah! Thos SOB'S in government.
When trsnsformer group up and go suicidal they can be real bastards.
Here is one scary video.

That's pretty fucked up.
Transformers! False flags in disguise.
Transformers! More than meets the eye...
Ziocons use their fiat to destroy the evil forces of our liberty.
TRANSFORMERS!
The next thing ya know....we'll be scared to sit on our toilets.
Beware the exploding toilet!
It's a Decepticonspiracy!
Megatron-hu Metalbar.
I have been near a power transformer when it blew up and it really was one hell of a blast. The shockwave shattered some "shatterproof" windows out of the commercial building I was working in at the time. It is pretty intense when transformers get too hot. Who really knows what happened here? I don't.
The first press reports after the London 7/7 bombings on the underground system stated....you guest it......a power transformer explosion!
Change the record......
http://beforeitsnews.com/conspiracy-theories/2015/11/us-gives-their-prox...
Russian payback b!!Tch.
Ergodan must be antsy...moar False Flags!!
It couldn't have happened to a nicer country. Fuck Turkey to hell!
Seems they ran out of friendly neighbors fast.
False flag/self harm to whip up fear, sympathy and to distract attention away from Erdogan's criminal activities and support for ISIS terrorism.
They'll find bomb fragments with Russian markings on them and claim it was Putin's revenge.
Oh look- an intact Russian passport!- right at the sight of the explosion? What are the chances of that?
My suggestion to all secular Turks --- GET THE HECK OUT!
Erdogan is messing yoru country up.
Move to America, Canada, etc where there's fewer transformer explosions [but moar knockout punch casualties].
Smart meters gone rogue!
How long will it take for CNN to blame it on Putin ?
For goodness sake more people will die choking on cum in Hell's Kitchen tonight than have died here.
I know its a sexy time but this is a non-story.
Edit: here TF: http://m.journal-neo.org/2015/11/25/israeli-colonel-caught-with-is-pants...
Fucking roadside bomb ? I call bull on this one, anybody who has seen real bomb explosions footage can tell that was fucking pyrotechnics, it had evenly spaced sparklies as it was exploding.

Not sure a out the alleged bomb in sofia.
meh.
Damnit it, Michael Bay! You have a lot to answer for!
Hold on..... Turkey has been selling and buying ISIS oil- so they are in bed with them- so Turkey can't use the ISIS (Al Queda) boogeyman- so let's see........ whose next in the boogeyman line of succession?-
PUTIN!! Yeah blame it on Russia- as a retaliation for the plane being shot down. All the while orchastrated by the CIA- I'm sure it felt good to the right wing war mongers to hear the chants of Alahu Akbar as they were shooting at the Russian pilots. Isn't the enemy of my enemy my friend?- yeah not so much.
