Not all cables are above ground, there are underground cables too. Flashes stem mostly by shortcut explosions, be it from trafo's or cables above and under the ground

We need to do some self criticizing too. AKP may not be responsible for the bad quality of all buildings, but what is the excuse for buildings younger than 10 years? Where are the regulations, inspections? There is a grave amount of neglect, this should be tackled firstly. All of us bare...

Most likely power cable short circuiting

The ironic sarcasm of the story is that this quake is a pre-warning of the earthquake for Istanbul. The earthquake train is approaching very fast, we know it already for many years but is there any preparation? Nada!

Well soon the blame games will start, people will ask who are the responsible. Constructors will be blamed, state will be blamed, government will be blamed etc. etc. But we have to realize that these things are accumulations of hundreds of years. Where in Turkiye do we have city planning...

there are engineering teams (Istihkam) with gear, excavators etc. etc.. Those teams could have been used

I am afraid we will count far above 30k casualties

Answer is very simple, only in 3rd world countries. I can't tell if our skyscrapers are bad, those seem qualitatively better but the common buildings in Turkiye is of terrible quality. Even hospitals and municipality buildings are crap. We have had an extraordinary earthquake (series) and...

Construction sector can be corrupt, constructors can be animals without conscience. But none of that matters. It is the state institutions who have to do the supervision. If state institutions are rotten than do not expect good constructions from constructors. It says enough why state buildings...

I would care less to be pro or anti government, it is about our people. It is the logic way to do, and I am glad the decision is finally taken. I have friends in Iskenderun and yesterday they were telling we cannot go into our houses as every 10 minutes there are tremors and heavy quakes can...

People have to be moved to Antalya area, away from the earthquake zone. We have thousands of hotels. Firstly too many people in risk areas only slow down rescue works We can shelter millions of Syrians, Afghans and Kurds but not our own people, it is a shame

It is appaling how bad the relief is coordinated. Firstly there are thousands of people who lost their houses or are afraid to enter their homes because of damage. We are a fuckin tourism country with thousands of hotels, why are these people not sheltered in these hotels? Hotels have rooms...

Are you guys sure that IDEF is postponed to July? On the IDEF site it still says May

not government funding, but state funding!

Oh but that is the duty of SSB. There will always be state funding for the defense industry. Just like the US defense industry cannot continue to stay big neither can Turkish defense industry be without state funding. But at the same time it is utmost important that these companies become self...

The question is how much a missile truck is needed. F15-EX is nowadays wanted for her range, not her capacity as bomb truck. Nowadays we do not need a truck load of bombs to destroy a target, one smart guided bomb does the trick

Strange kind of sad. Is not the goal to get our defense companies self sustaining? And when such goals are achieved some people find it sad that it is not state funded. You know how only state funded companies (MKE for most of her existence) functioned

Yes that is a possibility, therefor TAI should maybe prepare and also integrate the EJ200 engine on the aircraft to offer it with 2 different engine possibilities

100W module does not automatically mean you have to use it at 100W (the max possible of that module) If you use for instance just 30W on a 100W module than this module can easily deliver this power and will not heat up excessively. If you constantly use it on 100W than your module will need...

Maybe in the future, but priority is the engine for MMU. So we are talking about years
