If you've never been in a quake, it's like when tv shows shake the camera all directions.. like a shaker ball in a bottle

The death toll in Turkey has climbed to 2,921 from 2,379 a few hours ago, Turkey’s Andalou agency reports, citing the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority.

The latest toll from Syria remains 1,444, bringing the number of confirmed deaths to 4,365.

So most large buildings in Turkey are left unfinished. This results in water intrusion, rusty beams, foundation seeps and settling, and failed foundations.

Just a recipe for disaster, which is just what this was.

Although some castle that was 2000 years old also fell, so it was a pretty bad earthquake, too! It had survived all the previous wars and earthquakes since before 0000 AD.

Holy fucking shit, that's bad...
Also almost 8 Richter quake so...
Probably the highest in ages....
Anything above 8 is absolutely fucking destruction

Aftershocks, freezing temperatures and damaged roads are hampering efforts to tackle the enormous humanitarian emergency triggered by Monday’s 7.8-magnitude earthquake in southern Turkey and northern Syria, with 7,200 people now confirmed dead and 380,000 others seeking refuge in Turkey alone.

As the scale of the devastation from the initial quake – and a second tremor – became clearer, the Turkish authorities declared a state of emergency in 10 provinces and the World Health Organization warned that the number of fatalities could exceed 20,000.

These earthquakes are completely artificial and the result of HARP technology, which sends high-frequency waves into the deep layers of the earth to detect and extract lithium and rare minerals used for quantum computers and artificial intelligence. The recent balloons in America were also related to the same thing. These rare minerals are found in Latin America, the United States and Canada, we should expect more disasters soon. China will not stop until it loots the entire planet and enslaves humanity.

The death toll in Turkey and Syria has surpassed 11,000 people in the world’s deadliest earthquake disaster in more than a decade. The number of victims is climbing quickly two days after earthquakes leveled cities and towns in both countries.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived Wednesday in the country’s south, where rescue workers are looking for people still trapped under the rubble in the frigid cold. Temperatures in Gaziantep, near the epicenter in southern Turkey, dropped into the low 20s overnight.

Turkey reported at least 8,574 deaths and 49,133 people injured. In government-held parts of Syria, at least 1,262 people were killed and 2,285 injured, according to state media. Rescuers in rebel-held northwestern Syria recorded more than 1,730 deaths and 2,700 people injured.
