3000 dead, 15000 wounded. WHO estimates perhaps 20,000 (!) victims
Continue here with the live blog Earthquake Anatolian Plate. It’s all tectonics. The Arabian Plate is pushing the Anatolian Plate to the West, and once every few years it’s BAM. Because the Greek Plate doesn’t give in either. The death toll has now passed 3,000 and will rise even further, to a shocking 20K, according to WHO. Tsunami van Turks in talk shows now, Sinan Can in Nieuwsuur, Karsu at Op1, Eus at Ongehoord Nieuws, and Eva Jinek’s call girls are still calling. Yes, sorry people, we also try to joke during miserable disasters. Don’t forget what’s in the Red Cross Collection Box because in that mortally ill war negotry of Turkey/Syria they don’t have a penny to make and very few pneumatic hammers. And it’s dark, and it’s cold. More later.
