Wow! That’s a pretty long fissure.
The death toll is now 20,000 plus. There was no place for these people to escape to as the buildings all collapsed around them. It was cold with snow on the ground and the middle of the night. They will probably be finding bodies for some time to come.
Quakes in the region have a habit of cascading westward along other faults, IIRC. This is not really over.
Just like the 1964 Alaska Good Friday earthquake and countless others this occured on Full Moon. Just a coincidence I’m sure…
Where’s the Clinton foundation?? Where’s the Facebook banners? Where’s the donation drives? Where’s the president asking us to skip blankets and water and just send our cash? I guess people care a lot more about Haiti than Turkey. Almost zero media coverage.
Pretty weird.
Whoa!
Btw, Jeff Flake is the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey. I believe I read he is over there, was over there when the earthquake hit.
Too bad we can’t get a fissure like that on our southern border...less the death and destruction of course.
Fault!!!
The number of fatalities will be extraordinary, when factoring in all of the indirect causes of death, like disease, starvation and homelessness.
Half a million or more, between Turkey and Syria.
We sent dogs to find people in rubble
Crack kills...
Did yall see how far the earth shifted?
Amazing.
