5. SOUNDBITE (Turkish) Gokhan Cakiroglu, citizen:

"I learnt about the news when I was about to leave my workplace. I got goose bumps, it really could have been any of us there. Yet things like this are very probable right now. After happenings in Syria, and the latest stuff going on with Israel and Russia, there was a need for a change of the agenda. I think that was one of the main reasons a thing like this has happened. We feel deeply sorry as this terror attack had so many casualties, as well as many wounded friends. I give my condolences to everyone."

"I sent a single tweet, stating that we could host some of the stranded travellers. It was re-tweeted in a way I could not foresee. A few news people also re-tweeted it, and people started coming. There were also other people in the (Taksim) square that were trying to help, so we co-ordinated. They took people from there to here, and we made sure they were comfortable. And we were so happy. I mean, this feeling. I could not have a feeling like this even if I had spent one million dollars for it."

And then we did not know what was happening, and then when we got, when we got here at the hotel we realised what was happening. Today, this afternoon we had a flight to Czech Republic, and it was cancelled. We do not know how we are going to fly to Czech Republic."

Officials on Wednesday morning began assessing the damage caused at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport by three suicide bombers who killed dozens and wounded more than 140.

Workers were brought in to remove debris left by the blasts, while in the daylight the damage to the terminal became clearer with even ceiling panels hit.

The airport was partially reopened, with the information board inside the airport showing that about one third of scheduled flights have been cancelled, with a host of others delayed.

Some Istanbul hotel owners were offering accommodation to some of the thousands of travellers stranded in Istanbul after the attack.

Turkish officials said the massacre was most likely the work of the Islamic State group.
