The 2016 Istanbul Airport Attack meme often utilizes security footage or imagery associated with the event at Ataturk Airport, frequently recontextualized within internet subcultures. It gained traction primarily in circles that draw parallels between real-world security footage and tactical video games, specifically echoing the aesthetics of the 'No Russian' mission from Call of Duty. Users typically apply captions related to arriving at a destination with a 'squad' or entering a competitive gaming lobby. While the origin is rooted in a serious news event, its transformation into a template focuses on themes of group coordination and dramatic arrivals, becoming a staple of edgy internet humor.
