The question is would there be thousand collapsed building in most developed countries due to earthquake? In Japan, earthquake is a reality they are constructing the buildings accordingly. 2011 Earthquake was magnitude of 9.0, many people died not due to the collapsing building but drowning because of tsunami. Earthquake is reality of our country, 24 years past over 99 earthquake but still it seems we learned and do nothing.

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 undoubtedly some buildings would have collapsed in some areas where even roads were cracked open but 90% of the now collapsed buildings would have survived if they had been build according to standards.

The way of giving permission to most buildings in Turkiye is in one word: criminal!

Big red line under the Engineering Command branch of the Turkish Ground Force . If they couldn’t enter a city during peace time what would they do during war time ?

Not trying to throw some shit but is the Turkish Ground Force Engineering ( don’t know the turkish name of it ) this bad or it’s a matter of bad organize by the army ?

On top of that the armed forces can seize any machine deemed necessary from civilians or companies according to mobilization orders.

Are these all collapsed buildings? Then the situation is very grave. Even the districts and villages could not be reached properly.

I lived in Kahramanmaraş for 2-3 years 20 years ago.

The only issue was they didnt get the order for deployment, in the first day we had reports that regiments were ready with fueled vehicles to move but waiting for orders from higher ups. The government delayed their deployment.

Organization wise Army is far better than anything the government has to offer, far better than completely disorganized AFAD that can not even feed its rescuers.

Amid the difficulties and devastation after an earthquake that killed more than 7,800 people in Turkey and Syria, the Vietnamese community in Turkey has offered goods and necessities to victims in the country.
Duong Nam Phuong, administrator of the ‘Vietnamese community in Turkey’ Facebook page, who is living and working in Istanbul, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday evening that they brought goods and necessities to gathering sites regulated by the local government, then loaded them onto vehicles, and received acceptance certificates for the commodities.
“Everything was well-organized,” Phuong said.
The goods included mainly clothes, shoes, socks, coats, blankets, bed sheets, pillows, and cushions, which are essential for residents sheltering in temporary tents in quake-hit areas.
When asked about Vietnamese in Turkey, Phuong said that he had talked with Vietnamese Ambassador to Turkey Do Son Hai and knew that a Vietnamese woman had to be evacuated out of danger together with her husband on the morning of the day of the disaster, while another Vietnamese person had yet to be contacted.

The Vietnamese community in Turkey currently has some 200 members, who regularly keep in touch with one another.
Any Vietnamese should follow the Facebook pages of the community and the Vietnamese Embassy in Turkey.
“After the earthquake occurred, the embassy has pinned its contact information at the top of its Facebook page and kept a close watch on the state of the Vietnamese people in Turkey," Phuong noted.
“I uploaded a post attached with the hotline of the embassy [on the Facebook account of the Vietnamese community in Turkey] so that Vietnamese people can contact it if needed.

I took this video on Feb 7 few kilometers from Göksun while trying to get to Konya. Because the Gaziantep-Adana highway was damaged, most people escaping from Gaziantep and Kahramanmaraş took this route. We saw dozens of abandoned cars in the freezing cold because of the petrol shortage.

We ran out of petrol in Göksun and none of the petrol stations had any fuel. We waited in the car at an OPET station for three hours because the manager said a tanker was on the way to replenish the fuel depot. We were one of the lucky ones because the station was empty due to lack of fuel and we parked in front of a pump. As the news spread of the approach of a tanker, hundreds of cars started queuing behind us. When we arrived in Kayseri at 10pm, we had the foresight of booking a hotel ahead of our arrival and managed to find comfortable rest. While we were checking in people kept being turned around due to lack of empty rooms.

Many people in this video probably spent the night waiting for fuel in -10, -15 degrees.
