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.
God Bless their Souls!
That’s such a tragedy. I can’t imagine the hardship those poor people are enduring.
Quakes in the region have a habit of cascading westward along other faults, IIRC. This is not really over.
I find it puzzling that the news on TV has continuously relegated this story to the end of their telecasts behind Congressional hearings and “Balloon news” which keeps repeating itself over and over again. It seems to me that when 25000 people lose their lives in an enormous disaster that it should be the “Top” of the news. I realize it is halfway around the world in two foreign nations, but doesn’t a tragedy that enormous merit the number one headline? Help me if I am wrong.
Yes.
A glimpse of doom: Istanbul’s earthquakes in history

Turkey’s earthquake is a warning for Istanbul, which would face even more deaths from a quake

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.
It’s important on just how the sunlight is reflected off of the moon.
The entire tragedy has fallen off the front pages of all the major news-sites. Now you have to actively search for information. I know that all the usual western countries have sent rescue teams and other assistance, but it will be decades before the country recovers from this earthquake. And given the current incompetence of most institutions who will be worried that any assistance is based upon D.I.E. principles any major assistance will be slow to appear.
Gone are the days that a rapid response team of competent personnel can be assembled and deployed to set up assistance centers.
Of course you are right, but the left’s agendas always come first, and this earthquake does not advance leftist agendas.
Well, there is this...
Highly-skilled LA County rescue team heading to Turkey to help with recovery efforts

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!!!
Probably just coincidence; there’s probably as many as fell on the first of the month or the 23rd or whatever.
If there is a lunar influence, it should happen at the moon’s nearest approach - its perigee. I took a look and the last perigee was on 1/21/23 (and will recur every 29 days or so). As it happens, it was the closest perigee on a new moon since the middle ages.

Was he appointed by Biden? Must be hard to be a Mormon working in a predominantly Muslim country. Hope he’s struggling to exist there. It’s called Karma.
Yep
