Turkey has won a legendary victory against Czech Republic in Euro 2008 bringing score to 3-2 from 0-2 in just 15 minutes. What I will tell is not the praise of this match but a tradition, actually an awful tradition which is applied by many ignorant soccer fans. I decided to write at last hearing that terrible sound (the informer of stupid death) exploding around the buildings on my street where I live (regarded as one the most modern areas in Istanbul)
Briefly, these ignorant people take their pistols, go to balconies and shoot to the sky many times to show their joy after such football victories!! Well, sometimes (as expected by clever ones) they fail on the directions and the bullets don’t go to the sky but to the other innocent people who are walking on the streets, sitting in balconies or even at homes. After every important match it is natural to hear in tvs and radios that one, two people died and several wounded by these bloody f..ked monsters. Should I say more? Maybe, they should buy a musical keyboard to produce the sound of the bullets for better ear pleasure. But, no! Unfortunately the ignorance and the musical sound of some people of this country seems to be an eternal dark cycle and we have to continue live with the reptiles.
A late addition: Actually, this tradition also takes lives in the celebrations of weddings and even in the new year nights!

This is actually not true, the bullets do not have enough downward velocity to cause harm if shot straight up into the air due to wind resistance. Guns are scary though.
He’ s right. Bullets don’t produce enough velocity once it reaches neutral velocity (0 m/s). Once it begins to fall back down it will not go faster than 9.8 m/s, which can hardly kill someone.
I think the point was people intending to fire up but being drunk shot random other things.
