This is fucking horrible, I can’t imagine anyone would survive that. Praying that all non-survivors were taken instantly without pain or knowledge of what happened. Prayers for all involved and let this teach us all that tomorrow is not promised to any of us, make amends with who you need to today now and quit taking life for granted 🙏✌️🙏

if it's any consolation, i'd imagine this person was filming because the building was showing signs it was going to collapse and everyone inside had been evacuated.

thank you for wishes. Turkey is now on level 4 alarm which means need national and international support. i haven't seen level 4 alarm since Golcuk (Istanbul) earthquake in 1999.

Oh my, I have been warning people against an earthquake going to happen in Turkey for the last 10 years. The only positive thing is that the epicenter was much further away from Istanbul than I anticipated.

The main problem they face is a large amount of buildings have been developed by corrupt developers who skip out on metal reinforcements inside the cement. The buildings don't stand a chance against earthquakes of this magnitude :(

You are right sadly.

​

governments have not learned their lesson since 1999 Golcuk earthquake and didn't care of these fraudulent contractors. Some of contractors got jailed for life but some of them continued to build buildings...

Think about that praying you're doing. You're praying to a God, hoping that he makes everyone safe or lessens the pain, when that same God let this happen and could have prevented this (if he existed). I don't understand the logic.
