The earthquake scientists have been very local the last few weeks, warning great Istanbul earthquake could happen any time now. Just when I was brooding over it, a 3.9 magnitude earthquake happened in Marmara sea. 250 years of accumulated pressure could break the locked fault line very soon and we could face the greatest calamity ever since the WW1.
Am I the only one who thinks that significant percentage of our GDP should be allocated to speed up the earthquake readiness as much as possible? Doesn't matter if it will impede our economic growth or anything. Istanbul earthquake is the biggest threat we have to face and we are far far from being ready.
There isn't any money available.
