Several security cameras have captured the time of the fall of the building this Sunday morning, when the streets of the Turkish city boiled from activity and there were many people on the street.

A camera located inside an urban bus shows the exact moment the building falls right in front of the vehicle and how the driver makes hands and sleeves to control the vehicle. Then it looks like the man has been able to get out of the accident.

According to the Turkish Minister of Urbanism, the building they built it in 1988 “without complying with architectural or engineering regulations,” and marine sand mixed with cement in construction was used.

The building was later added a more and a half-height plant, without any permission from municipal works.

Incredible. Seeing the shadows moving in the last video is so chilling.

Also explains the high death tolls in earthquakes. Denizens have no chance to go outside when the first tremors start when their houses are made of fake concrete.

I was told that in Turkey, buildings under construction don't get taxed until they are officially complete. Therefore, nearly EVERY building in Turkey has an unfinished upper floor, many for 30-40 years.


And of course, the plaster instead of REAL concrete also has an effect.
