The owner of the damaged house, Hadji Bulgur, says that if his house had not suffered the impact, the rock mass would have destroyed many more buildings
In the city of Adiyaman, southeastern Turkey, a huge piece of rock collapsed on a house during the earthquakes. The block has fallen into pieces and poses a danger to those living in the nearby houses, reports obozrevatel.
The rock, probably weighing hundreds of tons, crashed into the one-story house of Hadji Bulgur and split in two, reports TRT Haber.
The owner of the damaged house, Hadji Bulgur, says that the cause of the huge rock that rolled down was the earthquake, and if his house had not suffered the impact, the rock mass would have destroyed many more buildings.
“The stone caused severe cracks after the earthquake. On the night of the first tremor, a large piece fell on my house and I ran to my mother. On the eighth and ninth days after the earthquake, the rock split in two. I was with my sister then, if the stone had rolled further down, it would have destroyed many houses”, says a local resident.
The rock still poses a serious danger to the surrounding houses, so residents are demanding immediate intervention from the authorities.
