a good wednesday morning. we begin with breaking details from that terror attack in turkey. one of the world's busiest airports turned into a scene of gunfire, bombs and carnage. >> first, let's get to the latest video coming in from istanbul. you see it there, what appears to be airport security video posted online and you saw the blast, and then people running for their lives, at least three dozen people were killed in the attack and nearly 150 others injured. >> the airport is opened this morning with an investigation well under way. keep in mind, turkey is a key u.s. ally against isis and a fellow member of nato. >> we have live team coverage this morning. abc's lana zak has details on security here in the u.s. at our airports but we'll get started with abc's molly hunter who covers the region for us. good morning, molly. >> reporter: good morning. the investigation is going full speed ahead this morning, and at

this point, it appears that extra layers of security prevented much more damage. as the sun comes up in istanbul the morning after the carnage, after gunfire and explosions rocked the city's main airport tuesday night. new video showing a fireball as one of the attackers detonates inside the terminal. here, people looking for cover, some holding children. absolute chaos. the injured rushed to hospitals in ambulances and vans and taxis. an american tourist witnessed the attack. >> people were shooting on one side. and we all ran the other way. and then the bombs went off and people started running the other way and there was more shooting. we came out and after that, i think there was another bomb. >> reporter: the violence erupting during a busy travel time for one of the world's busiest travel hubs. officials say three attackers arrived and opened fire with machine guns and then detonated suicide belts. >> a lot of people attacking.

i didn't see, but i heard one bomb -- i think the arrivals area. i think two, the departure area. >> reporter: and this morning, stories of survival. this journalist and his wife finding cover after breaking into a closed hair salon. >> so i broke the door and we got in and put her in a storage room where we spent probably the hardest 45 minutes of our life with the bullets literally -- we were hearing the bullets close to our door. i thought, this is it. any minute he's going to walk in to shoot us. we were sitting ducks with no choices. >> reporter: now, turkey is a nato ally, a nato member, a key u.s. ally in the region dealing with both internal and external security threats and everyone will be watching this investigation. >> and, molly, a lot of people focused on isis as a possibility, has anyone actually claimed responsibility for the attack, though?

>> reporter: no one has claimed yet, diane, but that's exactly right. the prime minister last night said that at this point all signs point to isis, which would be incredibly interesting. because turkey deals with both internal threats from kurdish militants, kurdish separatists, the pkk, but also external from isis, and if isis is responsible they have hit the place where thousands of foreign fighters transited through to get to syria. >> molly, thank you. and back here in the u.s., there was an immediate reaction to the attacks in istanbul. airports taking no chances with security. >> if you are going to the airport today, expect to see authorities out in full force. abc's lana zak joins us from washington with more on that part of the story. lana. >> reporter: immediately after the attack, the u.s. ordered a stoppage on all flights between the united states and turkey. that stoppage has now been lifted. but there were ten flights in the air flying from turkey to the united states when the attack occurred.

attack happened and one of them was on its way to boston's logan airport. >> and there were some emotional reunions in the terminals. look at this. the passengers said they were stunned by the news of attack especially since they just left the same location where it just took place. >> terrible. you feel that it -- sometime it's getting very close to you and you feel unsafe. >> it's just an unbelievable feeling. just getting them back again. as if i was reborn. >> those emotional scenes being repeated at other airports where flights from turkey were arriving as well. should point out the presidential candidates are weighing in on the terror attack in turkey. donald trump started out by sending out prayers to the victims' families. >> and at a rally at ohio, he reiterated his call for the return of waterboarding in the battle against isis saying you have to fight fire with fire.

>> there's something going on that's really, really bad, all right, it's bad. and we better get smart and we better get tough or we're not going to have much of a country left. >> hillary clinton also expressed condolences as she said the attack is a reminder that the united states cannot retreat. she also added in a statement, quote, terrorists have struck again in the heart of one of our nato allies and all americans stand united with the people of turkey against this campaign of hatred and violence. and one final image from turkey. this is the crowd of people outside a hospital. those people are waiting to donate blood that could be used by those most seriously injured in that attack. and do stay with abc news for the latest on the terror attack in turkey. we'll have more on this in this half-hour and live team coverage later on "good morning america." still ahead -- no one won the mega millions overnight. that means the jackpot is now
