Just a few hours after a M7.8 earthquake killed more than 1300 people, another strong M7.5 quake struck the same region, making the situation apocalyptic…

This second quake will probably hinder emergency rescue. Terrifying…

The only runway at Hatay Airport in southern Turkey tore open during the earthquake…

Below, you will find my article about the first quake.

The equivalent of 472.4 atomic bombs of energy released… More than 1300 people were killed in two countries after one of the strongest earthquakes to hit Turkey in more than 100 years sent tremors across the region, collapsing buildings and sending residents running into the streets.

The 7.8-magnitude quake struck just after 4 a.m. Monday morning local time, 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) east of Nurdagi, Gaziantep province, at a depth of 24.1 kilometers (14.9 miles), the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said. Nurdagi is located along the Turkey-Syria border, and the quake was felt in several countries across the region, including Syria and Lebanon.

At least 76 people were killed and more than 440 injured in Turkey, according to the country’s disaster management agency AFAD.

In neighboring Syria, at least 237 people died and more than 630 were injured, Syrian state news agency SANA reported citing a Ministry of Health official. The deaths were reported in Aleppo, Latakia, Hama and Tartus.

Hundreds of people are trapped under rubble, according to the “White Helmets” group, officially known as Syria Civil Defense, a humanitarian organization formed to rescue people injured in conflict. Much of northwestern Syria, which borders Turkey, is controlled by anti-government forces amid a bloody civil war that began in 2011.

From a Turkey braodcaster… How many people are under those houses? And that’s only a small part of the collapsed buildings…

The quake struck before daybreak on Monday, when residents were likely asleep and unprepared for the impact. Video from Turkey shared on social media showed dozens of collapsed buildings, while frightened residents huddled on the darkened streets amid the chaos. Rescue workers can be seen conducting search-and-rescue operations by flashlight.

Monday’s quake is believed to be the strongest to hit Turkey since 1939, when an earthquake of the same magnitude killed 30,000 people, according to the USGS. Earthquakes of this magnitude are rare, with fewer than five occurring each year on average, anywhere in the world. Seven quakes with magnitude 7.0 or greater have struck Turkey in the past 25 years – but Monday’s is the most powerful.

Karl Lang, an assistant professor at Georgia Tech University’s School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, told CNN the area hit by the quake Monday is prone to seismic activity. “It’s a very large fault zone, but this is a larger earthquake than they’ve experienced any time in recent memory,” Lang said.

‘It felt like it would never be over’

Journalist Eyad Kourdi, who lives in Gaziantep and was staying with his parents when the earthquake struck early Monday, said “it felt like it would never be over.”

When the shaking stopped, Kourdi and his parents walked out of their home still wearing their pajamas, he said.

With several inches of snow on the ground, they waited outside in the rain for about 30 minutes before he could go back inside to grab coats and boots.

Strong aftershocks have been felt in southern and central Turkey. About 11 minutes after the main quake hit, the strongest aftershock of 6.7 magnitude hit about 32 kilometers (20 miles) northwest of the main quake’s epicenter. Another intense aftershock with a magnitude of 5.6 then occurred 19 minutes after the main quake.

Kourdi said there were up to eight “very strong” aftershocks in under a minute after the 7.8 magnitude quake struck, causing belongings in his home to fall to the ground. Many of his neighbors had left their homes following the quake, he said.

Photos showing the true scale of the disaster are emerging as day breaks in Turkey. Entire buildings have been flattened, with metal rods scattered across the streets. Cars have toppled over, while bulldozers work to clear the debris.

A winter storm in the region is exacerbating the disaster.

“Hundreds of thousands of people are impacted by this. It is cold. It is rainy. Roads could be impacted, that means your food, your livelihood, the care for your children, the care for your family,” said meteorologist Karen Maginnis.

“Anything as far as crops or anything growing across this region will be impacted as well. The ramifications of this are broad and will impact this region for weeks, and months.”

Searching for survivors

Search and rescue teams have been dispatched to the south of the country, Turkey’s interior minister, Suleyman Soylu, said. AFAD, the disaster agency, said it had requested international help through the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC), the European Union’s humanitarian program.

Nearly 1,000 search and rescue volunteers have been deployed from Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul, along with dogs, trucks and aid, according to its governor, Ali Yerlikaya.

“Sorry for our loss. I wish our injured a speedy recovery,” Yerlikaya wrote on Twitter.

The governor of Gaziantep, Davut Gul, said on Twitter that “the earthquake was felt strongly in our city,” and advised the public to wait outside their homes and stay calm.

“Please let’s wait outside without panic. Let’s not use our cars. Let’s not crowd the main roads. Let’s not keep the phones busy,” he said.

Gaziantep province has a number of small- and medium-sized cities, with a sizable refugee population, according to Brookings Institute fellow Asli Aydintasbas.

“Some of these areas are rather poor. Some are more richer, urban areas … but other parts that we’re talking about that seem to have been devastated, are relatively lower income areas,” she said.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the quake was felt in many parts of the country.

“I convey my best wishes to all our citizens who were affected by the earthquake that occurred in Kahramanmaraş and was felt in many parts of our country. All our relevant units are on alert under the coordination of AFAD,” Erdogan wrote on Twitter.

Messages of condolences and support started pouring in Monday morning as world leaders woke to the news of the deadly earthquake.

Another building collapse…

Apocalyptic scenery after the strong earthquakes…

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the United States was “profoundly concerned” about the destruction in Syria and Turkey.

“I have been in touch with Turkish officials to relay that we stand ready to provide any & all needed assistance. We will continue to closely monitor the situation in coordination with Turkiye,” Sullivan wrote on Twitter.

Even our friend Zelensky wished all the best to the people of Turkey…

Well, those images are even more terrifying than those we get from Ukraine… Again, the earthquake released an equivalent in energy of around 472.4 atomic bombs!… And the US, western countries and Ukraine are still pushing for a nuclear against Russia… This is just sick… [CNN, Volcano Discovery]

  1. Conflict, politics and history: Why Turkey is standing in the way of Sweden and Finland’s NATO bids
    he reasons behind Turkey’s opposition to Sweden and Finland joining NATO are complicated, emotional and steeped in decades of often violent history.
    Turkey says Sweden has supported members of the Kurdish Workers’ Party, or the PKK. Sweden denies this.
    Since 1984, between 30,000 and 40,000 people are estimated to have died in fighting between the PKK and Turkish government, according to Crisis Group.

    When Finland and Sweden announced their interest in joining NATO, the two Nordic states were expected to be swiftly accepted as members of the defense alliance. But joining NATO requires consensus approval from all existing members, and Turkey – one of the group’s most strategically important and militarily powerful members – is not happy.

    The reasons why are complicated, emotional and steeped in decades of often violent history.
    TURKEY IS PAYING HIGH PRICE FOR SAYING NO TURKEY SOON WILL BE IN TO ASHES BY QUAKES THAT HAARP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT?
    https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/23/why-turkey-doesnt-want-sweden-finland-to-join-nato.html

  2. Just in 6.0 quake hit in Turkey .. We found that Turkey was said no to Sweden to be part of NATO and Turkey is paying high price for it now… 1000 quakes and new quakes are bringing Turkey in to HALT?
    WW3 and coming of New World Disorder… Red Alert for USA and Iran and North Korea, China and
    Taiwan something more to these major quakes now .. What is coming to humanity we never seen yet?
    Turkey is now not existence and India and USA so far said we will help ? Where are other NATO member ? Iran has not yet said anything for helping Turkey ? We mean Islamic Arab who put for WW3
    1980 by Ayatollah Khomanie who was from India was never Iranian.

  3. There will be more quakes 5 plus to 8.0 if the earth quake center in Pasadena does not change it lower… Will hit ring of fire , floods, major weather disturbances , Volcanoes California will hit massive floods again till Feb 201 2023… I watch Northwest of USA and New York had 3.8 very shallow quake? HAARP is active in 18 nations Russian HAARP responsible for Turkey quakes double 8.0 ?
    Russia has not used Pesidion AI undetectable atom bomb which will create 200 meter tsunami for east coast and west coast of USA with radiations? Devil runs the world indeed….

    • HAARP Not causing EQs. Also, the New Madrid Event will cause tsunami, but the Establishment will spin it and claim Russia caused it with a sub launched nuke on East coast. BS! It’s a natural event as a result of the approach of Nibiru. So was the Turkey earthquake.

      • I don’t think HAARP is causing quakes either. Plate tectonics and stress factors/pressure is root cause. Nibiru is another variable.

  6. Their friend Smellinsky? Hahaha. There ya go. God doesn’t want you to be friends with satanic abominations that slap their penis on pianos!

  7. Buildings collapse in prone earthquake area due to poor engineering, simple facts. Look at other areas which have frequent quakes, they don’t collapse as they were helped by Western Engineering. Such as the Philippines, Australia supports them a lot and many FIFO workers actually live there.
