What an awful tragedy! Imagine being asleep in your bed to be abruptly awakened to your house or apt. Building falling down on top of you!! Laying there trapped, scared, cold, hungry , waiting for rescuers hoping & praying someone hears you , finds you. Wondering if your children are alive and other relatives in nearby buildings are alive and you have to stay where you are and wait. And if God willing you are found to get medical treatment and leave hospital and return to ?? No home, no clothing, all personal memorabilia gone! Prayers to these poor people from Pennsylvania, USA
Your figures are wrong half a million died in this atomic attack that destroyed 20000 buildings leaving millions homeless . It affected over 800 kms and lasted 90 seconds . All never recorded before
Bakenumber4. I m writing this l day after you comment. The man looking to his baby has found out from a nurse that his child had died. H was at the cemetery with the information he needed and was now looking for the marker number where his baby is buried. A sad ending by he can now pray over his child's body.
Having been to Turkey in past and knowing the nice warm people there, I cannot stop tears seeing these devastating scenes. Hope for quick recovery and strength to those impacted. Om shanti.
They voted for Erdogan, they hate science ! BIM is the only solution that can help, but they keep crying let the Great Allah guide us... Give it back to the Greek people now !

I offer my deepest condolences to all the families in Turkey and Syria seriously affected by the strong earthquake🥀. May everything get speedy recovery and all of you are always in my prayers 🙏
I am so sorry for this brutal devastation. Praying for all, and Syria to get more help. So heartbreaking. So grateful for my little trailer, heat, food and a bed right now. God Bless these poor people.

My deepest respect and condolences to everyone who was affected by these devastating earthquakes. I have to say, DW has been earning my respect for many years by now and seeing how this incredibly difficult subject is being treated is raising my respect for this news channel even more. Absolutely spotless coverage, respectful of the victims and their families, mindful to specify that those filmed agreed to it. This is some really great reporting. Thank you for doing what you do.
As a engineering student i notice their crumbled buildings that it was lack of support beams & iron skeleton framings, I don't know if they made it cheap or they were too over confident that it was strong just because they haven't hit by a hard earthquake before. LASTLY the buildings & houses were made from bricks instead of hollow blocks.
It will take time to find loved ones and to know who is alive and who is not. What a traversy so much devastation, so much loss. I hope all of humanity will come together, there will be more natural disasters ahead. Much Love and Respect for those who survived and have lost all.
cant thank DW news enough for sharing the devastion in my country to the world and showing what my people are going through our hearts are torn to pieces we can't cry no more cause dont have any tears left. these are my people and they are suffering may god give the survivors strength to live cause they will never be the same again... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR HELP AND PRAYS GOD BLESS YOU ALL..
The residents should document that their buildings were built with natural sand (round granules) rather than proper sharp sand (manufactured angular granules) before the inferior concrete is taken away to be recycled into inferior concrete again.
The building codes weren't lax- Erdoğan's regime provided wavers to builders who violated the code. Now that the same government that aided in the violation is arresting those same builders, Erdoğan must join them behind bars.
@@enricoiraldo9057 You're a miserable excuse for a human being. I suppose that is the reaction you were looking for. I suppose you are just another cliché case of providing a reason for folks to be repulsed, hoping to distract, that folks won't recognize the corruption isn't just on the surface, but starts at your core.

Please continue to pray not only for the survivors and families grief… but the incredible mental and emotional trauma of the first responders and aid workers, nurses, doctors, and those who have yet to have answers of the missing. 😩😩💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏 May the LORD be with them
I do want to mention that this is some really good reporting. I am watching this from Dodge City, Kansas USA. My heart goes out to everybody affected by this. The world is watching.
So many lives, is hard to even think about it, it takes the breath away. I noticed a lot of those buildings used very small diameter rebar including supporting columns and not very densely packed, a lot of walls were just fill in with bricks and concrete which stands no chance versus earthquake, some buildings flip over indicating weak foundations which where placed to shallow in the ground. I'm not an engineer but I seen construction sites in America, most structures are build with thick steel beams incased in concrete in that concrete rebars are way thicker and more densely packed and foundations are dag deep into the solid bedrock. Sorry to say that but engineers need to make drastic changes there, buildings shouldn't collapse on such a massive scale.
There are architects in Turkey who are unemployed. Not enough contractors are interested in earthquake retrofitting because they don't want to pay for it. Bribery and pay-offs circumvent Turkish building codes. Back in 2019 Erdogan bragged about giving contractors a pass on following building codes. Sadly, bribery and cronyism has been a way of life for a very long time in Turkey. This culture of bribery also afflicts other countries that were previously conquered by the Ottoman Empire

I am glad you are reporting on this natural devastation and give the shallow war and human deliberate killings a break. We should learn from these disasters yet we never do. So sad for the innocent ones who lost their lives in this horrifying earthquake.
This is not a natural disaster. It is criminally negligent behaviour by the officials responsible for enforcing building standards in an earthquake zone and should be recognized for what it is.
evet insanlar sınavda düzelmeliyiz ALLAHhı kızdırmamalıyız o.nasıl istiyorsa öyle yaşamalıyız düşünsene yatıyorsun ve bir anda ölüm geliyor ne.olduğunu anlamadan sevdiklerinle vedalaşamadan hayatın son buluyor çok.acı kabus gibi
Bringing heavy machinery isn't the point. The point is all the buildings were built without the standard to tolerate earthquakes because of the serious corruption. Turkey is an earthquake country and with the corruption and the government neglecting its people's safety such huge number of deaths is unavoidable.
yes also i learned that base also very important, they built some new apartments on areas only should be used for gree narea or farm. there is alluvial soil, that is, mixed, soft soil carried by rivers and volcanic springs in lower areas, vallies,if you wont test ground before build, like if you say next building is solid, we re 2 meters ahead, should be fine, its wrong.
There is a video from geologist Iain Stewart talking about a large earthquake in Turkey resulting in a "demise of identity" - that's exactly what has happened here.
Russia made a statement that it's not their problem they are mad because Turkey has supported Ukraine throughout the war. They are truly heartless, evil people
@@Summer-tv7rz so Erdoğan caused the earth to do this?? We all know how corrupt he is, but he doesn't control nature!!! How about the corruption with building inspectors etc?? I'm a retired builder, and would not trust them to build me a dog kennell. The lack of/ very slow response is on his head no doubt, but please don't give the impression the man controls mother nature!!🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
My deepest condolences and respect for all the people out there, trying their best to keep their spirits high up despite the difficult condition. Philippines are praying for you all
As a human being, we are reminded that life is a gift not to be taken lightly. I can only command the efforts to treat all the deceased with final care and love as their families would have done. Shows the level of civility even in the most dire moments.
Earthquakes don’t kill people, it’s the falling buildings that do. It’s so very tragic that virtually all of these deaths were preventable - over 40,000 known dead to date and the fatality count continues to climb. With every day that goes by, fewer and fewer trapped survivors will be rescued, it’s now been over 10 days since the quake. It devastates me to think of the suffering of the people enduring weeks of being trapped under rubble, cold, thirsty and in pain, praying and hoping desperately for rescue, only to die at last, it’s beyond horrible. Turkey has to get serious now about developing seismically-safe building codes, and especially, enforcing them. There will be a lot of rebuilding, this is Turkey’s chance to get it right this time, cost be hanged. Saving lives in case of earthquake, fire, etc., should be the first priority in designing and constructing every single building. If money is tight, just build more slowly, don’t cut corners. I hope my country and others will send aid to help in the rebuilding. I’m praying for the people of this region, God goes by a different name to me, but there is only one of Him, after all, He will hear us.
I'm not so sure this was unexpected. This is after all one of the most active earthquake zones. Still it's very sad to see the destruction and pain. Hope more aid gets to these terribly affected souls.
It is amazing how they are keeping a record of all those thousands that have been lost, even DNA records on those that cannot be photographed. A huge undertaking hoping that one day they might mostly all be identified. Condolences to all those who have lost family members. So sad for all especially those who did not get help in those first few important days when more would have been saved. From B.C. Canada.
I am here crying. That man, that was looking for his dead baby, just made me tear up. My deepest condolences. I wish we could send more stuff through a postal service, directly to the ones needed! This earthquake is just horrible!
Deepest condolences from Malaysia to those affected in Turkey and Syria quake. I can only imagine the hardship that you have to go through now. Sending love, prayers and support in whatever ways we can.
This is unbelievably Heartbreaking, I hope that these survivors can rebuild their lives away from these clearly deadly fault lines with international help. I can't imagine the shock and grief, the trauma of lives, livelihoods and homes gone in an instant. I feel heartbroken for everyone honestly and i’d love to support… How can i support financially?
Truly shocking but predictable. Much Turkish architecture is substandard. A quake in Instambul is just a matter of time and would be many many times worse due to population density and similar construction standards.
Para heredar el reino De Dios, no es así de fácil, morir y ya me fui al reino De Dios, no. Hay que estudiar bien la Biblia para entender bien quienes heredan su reino.
Did God Cause the Earthquake and Tsunami,? Isaiah 45:7 - I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the LORD, who does all these things. Deuteronomy 32:39 - '''See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. " Revelation 16:7 And I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!" 8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory. Daniel 4:35 - all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, "What have you done?" Romans 9:20 - But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?" Revelation 1:8 - "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
41k people dead thus far....OH. MY. GOD. My brain can't get around that. The sheer greif being projected is immense right now. WOW. Prayers for Turkey and Syria.
Job 2:11-13 talks of how Job's friends heard about his suffering and visited him "..to mourn with him and to comfort him..." [KJV]. The story shows how they were speechless for seven days. No words were enough to comfort their friend. DW's graphical coverage of the situation that befell the People of Syria and Turkey, has placed me exactly in the position of Job's friends. What can I say! What words can I use. I wonder if there are suitable words that can be used to bring comfort to these friends. But I can pray for them.
Months before this earthquake, the U.S. was itching for Greece & Turkiye to go to war with each other. The U.S. was supplying Greece with military hardware which Greece in violation was placing on islands just off the Turkish coast. Similar to what was done with missiles close to Russia's borders with Ukraine.
Without them we wouldn't know half of what goes on, in one of the early Report there was a woman Journalist who came in on the third Plane ,I was thinking to my self getting a called from my Supervisor telling me to go towards death and destruction wouldn't be A called I wanted to get ,they are Troopers

My condolences to all of the families affected in Turkey and Syria. Their resilience is beyond awe-inspiring. We need to keep up donations and support. Excellent coverage DW.
Footage there showed an apartment building that had fallen over rather than pancaked. That would have provided more opportunity to survive, but would have been a hard landing for people higher up in the building.
@@MedicatedMemory last time I checked this doesn’t involve water. In the Japanese earthquake the buildings were mostly fine before being hit by the tidal waves. No buildings in Syria or Turkey were hit by tidal waves rather they collapsed easily from the video I’ve seen.
