Apples and Oranges. Perhaps compare with the Earthquake in Haiti, or China or Pakistan.

as long as not as bad as ours back then, wish the best for your people. God speed!!!

Just so you can get a rough idea of how big the affected area is.

Germany would have damage from the Upper Rhine to the low mountain ranges: Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Mainz, Cologne, the Ruhr area, etc.

All of these cities are partially in ruins.

When you have a problem, you call your friend, not your brother. Because your brother is the one who comes without you asking.

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?

These kind of destructions are "invited" fates.

A couple of years ago we had in the blacksea region a city that was wiped away by floodwater, but hey what do you expect when you build a city in a river bedding. Even if that river has dried out and contains no water anymore it does not take to be an Einstein that with extreme rains and snow melting the water will come back (and it did!)

We have to see the truth, building houses on fault lines, land slides and riverbeds will soon or later take her toll. It's like building your house next to an active volcano and say hey the last 200 years there was no eruption. It's risky and foolish, but it is also the reality in our Turkiye. Whole of Turkiye is build without proper planning.

Ankara was planned when founded. But then AKP and bad planning occurred

No need translation in my opinion.
Blanks are unknown, does not mean there is no personnel of theirs in field.
Numbers are not up to date.

Can Azerbaycan.
Also kudos to Israel, sent second most personnel.

Imo no building or housing should be above 3 storey near fault lines. If they insist on building. And we need plenty of parks inside cities as safe ground. No tall buildings near them. Nor cami
Minarets.

Buildings can be built safely even for this magnitute, it needs special techniques such a shock absorbers but its possible and should be done so.
The problem is human life is just not worth the money for most contractors, why would they even invest in those, there will be no consequences anyways.

It was magnitude of 9.1 though. The point of that post not that many building would collapse or people wouldn't die because of the collapsed buildings at the first place in a developed country. There are intact buildings left in Maras and Antep etc. The problem is quality of the construction not the magnitude of the earthquake.
