The devastation is really amazing.

One particularly odd thing is a Dutch researcher predicted the earthquake a few days in advance.

I really liked Turkey when I was there.

Most of the folks I met were ‘Muslim’ about the way lots of British folks are ‘Episcopalian”. Go to church/mosque a couple of times a year at most (want to buy a carpet), weddings, funerals (great carpet, great price), and were friendly and gracious. This was back in ‘99, but I thought then that Istanbul (still Constantinople to me) was pretty chill; more about doing business than giving a fig about religion.

Should have bought a few rugs when I was there, too; about 1/20th the price of the same thing here.

Erdogan might be a jerk, but the Blue Mosque was about as beautiful a space as one could imagine, even though it was Hagia Sophia I was there to see.

The elections are in June, curious what impact this will have.

Of course I figure Erdogan has the DNC Cheating mechanism in place.

Istanbul is to Turkey, what New York City is to the US, it is not representative of the country, in the center of the country, it’s pretty much like Iran.

Meanwhile Biden is thinking about declaring a state of emergency over Roe versus Wade being overturned and over 5,000 babies not being aborted.

Massive damage, presumably most of the victims died when the buildings they were in collapsed.

Seems to me that the underground dwelling would be safer as the forces would be transferred to the sides, each floor being separate from the others above and below.

Yes, there would be damages to the rooms, from furniture, dishes on shelves, etc, being tossed about, but no collapses or pancaking...............

I’m getting more and more depressed about this listening to Lookner.

I am afraid now we are talking hundreds of thousands of deaths here.

Kind of makes all the other stuff going on seem trivial.
