https://twitter.com/DrAndreasS/status/1623626320520380416 ^Wowie. Anyways, I'm not getting any satisfaction from the "miracle" stories that are coming out of this quake, as realistically much of this did not need to happen if building standards were being enforced,and Turkey is a developed...

Re: Geology, Earthquakes & Volcanism News and Discussions
And here we go with Erdogan's politicking and trying to deflect criticism... Erdogan trying to censor Twitter, which is further hampering his government's shambolic response since this is where families were trying to coordinate responses to the catastrophe https://balkaninsight.com/2023/02/08/turke...

Re: Geology, Earthquakes & Volcanism News and Discussions
I'm not Turkish, so I guess I can't represent what Turkish views are. However, if some of this shit that Erdogan has done was pulled off in my country we would have the leader's head.

Re: Geology, Earthquakes & Volcanism News and Discussions
Death toll is now over 2300 people and rising fast. I think what is perhaps most irritating here is that for all the Erdogan government has been spending on huge infrastructure projects of questionable value (Istanbul canal anyone?) None, of this seems to have gone where it is really needed into sei...
