It needs to be pointed out, the earthquake itself isn’t what kills its the buildings that crumble that kills us.

A squad of Polish rescuers have come to Turkey as well. Having learnt how Turkey rejected the partitions of Poland in the past, we are willing to help Turkish people by all mean.

Turkey helped us when Russia invaded our homeland in 1990s. We are trying to help Turkey by all mean. Chechen people are looking at Turkey with sadness following this tragedy.

I'm just guessing here but are the standing buildings modern design steel frame construction and the ones folded like cards are more 1960 style concrete panels. If so why when this area in the world is a renowned earthquake area. Beggers belief... So heartbreaking to see😢

[missusbarkdog]

Of course they are angry but even cleaning up this disaster would take years. They are angry because of powerlessness over death and over life. Inshallah they will accept their losses and know that Allah is merciful.

[mrlover]

Sometimes this happens the sanctions that are put against these countries also doesn't help too

[enigma]

I'm just waiting for the UK Gov to take them all in.

[HouseOldSkoolRaver]

What if a earthquake in Albania? All the guys are on holiday in UK.

The SCIENCE from the British public is AMAZING but not surprising at all #iygmd
