Earthquakes in Turkey & Syria

[harm_less]

There was footage of some buildings taken during the largest shock; they just seemed to fall straight down vertically so not much chance of survival for most. Poor people.

In the coverage on Al Jazerra last night they were claiming that a supermarket had been developed on the bottom floor of an apartment block and as part of this work central support columns had been removed. That's definitely going to compromise the building's integrity.
