I couldn't walk in the streets of Istanbul without the fear of an earthquake. Everything was so DENSE. They say we'd have 5 seconds warning. What can you do in 5 seconds? Not enough time to take an elevator, run to a plaza, or even move from where you are! You'd just have to pray to the gods and hope for the best. It would be a catastrophe.
Excellent documentary. No disaster in the US has ever come close to this recent quake. 3,OOO dead in 1906. It's hard to comprehend such a horrible calamity.
42:02 most of us that were born and live in an earthquake prone city feel the same way. Not much we can do about it. I remember the '99 quake, i lived in Bucharest, Romania. It was around 3 AM, and we thought it was a small quake in our country, in the morning we found out that it was a big one in Turkey :/
Through the video taken from above the city of Istanbul, clear that there are no empty areas. The city is full of buildings. It is so dense that there is no space to escape during a disaster emergency. DW thanks for the warning.
Currently, doing research regarding earthquake preparedness, the key to swift recovery is social capital and earthquake proof infrastructure, reliable forewarning systems do not exist as of yet. Istanbul has a shitload of previous mismanagement to fix. And the way I know my folk, we are going to be in hell once the quake does strike. Many of my family members died in Kahramanmaras in the quake, and that's why I'm doing said research. Turkey really needs to fund its NGO and volunteer sector, because they compensate what the government can not help with. I hope the earthquake never strikes, or at least only strikes once Istanbul is prepared accordingly, but i doubt it. I'm afraid of what comes afterward.
We are limited in earthquake proofing. We have better materials now but we have nothing that can make anything absolutely earthquake proof. Nature will have its way
The people of Istaanbul have know this for many many years yet they still choose to live there and build building houses that are not resistant to earthquakes. 1999 happened then prices fell for condos and then went back up like nothing happened and now extremely pricey even though it will all crumble one day sadly
So many photos from the Hatay earthquake (and several of those from the last Istanbul one) show clearly the way that even long-time earthquake-related construction norms haven't been respected. The buildings that survived best are those smaller houses built traditionally - with wooden cross beam structures that can move & hence reduce the destructive impact of quakes.
The top historical buildings received more earthquake preparedness attention than the almost 3 million buildings with 25 million people in them. Hagia Sophia is expected to survive due to its method of construction. The true worry is the number of lives lost and how these people are going to die, unbelievable tragedy. The Turkish minister said 600.000 buildings would collapse. Those who make it out alive, can not make it out of the city because there won't be roads, ambulances, firehouses, hospitals, bridges, clean water, electricity, communication networks ....

If you live close to rising waters build house on stilts. If you have a bunch of earthquakes, build better quake resistant buildings. But this was not the priority.
@@doricetimko5403 We now do, Earthquake that happened 8 months ago swept buildings that are 1 to 10 years old. Which you wouldn't expect. Thousands paid extraordinary amounts of money for those apartments, if only they knew it was nothing but a coffin.
There is a mistake in video. Turkish seismic code and regulations did not change after 1999 earthquake. They were changed in 1997. Also the buildings which were constructed according to the 1975 code survived in 1999 earthquake( they got damaged but did not collapse). In video, we see the University of pavia and italian dampers but we have not seen the experiment done by ITU where real size buildings were tested. In that experiment the effectiveness of CFRP material can be seen easily. We want less geology, less urban planning, but more structural engineering next time;) And ask it to Turkish academicians. I have spoken as a Turkish academician in structural engineering field.
If I ever go to Istanbul I'll keep a close eye on the ever-present cats. They are supposed to be able to hear the tremors some 10-20 seconds ahead of an earthquake.
I love Istanbul and Türkiye I love the people of Istanbul Türkiye I pray for them Allah bless them My prayers will be always with them 🇵🇰🇹🇷 I wanna say more but comment will too long

Greetings, There is a person I subscribe to, Dutchsinse, on TH-cam.. He warns people and teaches on his sight, regarding earthquakes.. His work is controversial. The experts say that what he does is not possible. He just warned of the earthquake, two days early, for Japan this past couple of days. and was able to help.

Hold those morally, legally, fiscally responsible fof construction projects that fail if they have not to imprimemted best practices to cut costs... They must oay the ultimate price as in days of old.
I'm from Southern California and there's going to be a very big earthquake here in the near future also and our fault is very similar to the Anatolian Fault. We also have strict building codes but my mom and I had to build some stuff for ourselves because all the contractors who gave her a bid and a play about how they'd build the same thing weren't following code. My mom had just looked up wha the code required but, when she realized no one was going to build it properly, she enrolled in some construction classes at the college where she taught math to learn more and then she hired me and one of my best friends to help her and we built all kinds of things. When our big earthquake comes, I'm sure the things we built won't collapse and hopefully not too many other things will collapse but, having seen how easy it is, even here, to violate building codes, I feel like I'm going to be digging out a lot of people from the rubble. Of course, over the years, I have gotten my training in exactly that and, even though I'm disabled now, I still have that knowledge and most of the tools I need other than heavy equipment but it's still likely to be incredibly sad.
A handful of smart and rich people build their own resistant structures that will not be brought down by others crumbling. Everyone else will suffer when the time comes.
It's not just Turkey. As the earth warms, everything is shifting. As the Arctic, Antarctica, Greenland melt, the weight of the ice is shifting into the oceans. Its the same when you press your finger into the side of a balloon and then let go. The air shifts to fill where the balloon was depressed . Global warming/ ice melt is affecting the risk of massive earthquakes around the world. Extreme droughts, depletion of aquifers and oil fracking also increase likelihood of shifting local faultlines.
Another scientific coverage documentary was shared by a respectful ( DW) channel. About the last earthquake in Istanbul.. Turkish mega city .sorry for the victims ... I hope it never occurs. Another time ...
After the devastating 1999 earthquake, the government introduced a special tax to enhance disaster preparedness and fund nationwide infrastructure improvements. Unfortunately, these funds were misused by later administrations, who redirected them to favored companies. These companies then built substandard buildings that were not earthquake-resistant. Despite these failures, these political figures continue to be reelected, highlighting a serious issue with accountability.
It makes me sad when i see how much damage and loss people have sustained. It is very important to warn and to remind people of the imminent danger. But it is important to adress the countries which are not as prone to earthequakes as Turkey, Japan, Chile, need to be teached of that danger in teir country, look at Morrocco which is not that prone to erathquakes had a major devastation last month. My country of Bosnia and Herzegovina is also prone to earthequakes, no as strong as in Turkey, but the issue here is that we very fast forget that magnitude 5 or 6 is possible even in thge capital and just don't really think about that. In March 2009. we have had a strong earthquake of a magnitude nearly 5, and exprets said, there might be another in 50 years of maby even magnitude 6. the last that strong near Sarajevo was in 1962, some more than 60 years ago.
Yes, the fault line is only 8 km away from the city, but the biggest problem is the very low quality of construction and earthquake preparedness of this huge 20+ million city. Most concrete used cannot even be classified as concrete in developing countries. Other earthquake prone countries in the world - Japan, Chile, New Zealand, Italy, USA are way more prepared than Turkiye - sadly.
Turkey won't get an earthquake now in future. The plates have been set as per the calculations the sesamic crust have been consolidated and the layers have been moving to Asian side. Northern Pakistan, Northern India and its neighbouring. So relax and live in this beautiful city.
Some people thought converting Hagia Sophia into a masjid was a good idea and supported Erdogay. Turkic people better get ready for more disasters. Hopefully soon!@@whatever2206
If you want to avoid an earthquake, ask God for forgiveness. In the Qur'an, it is stated that an earthquake occurs when disturbances, family quarrels, fornication, or simply ingratitude multiply. It can happen in any country, it is important that God bless you with health and protection family. And that is the point, what is more valuable than family?
What is more important than family? Oh, freedom from religious dogma which encourages people to treat other people like garbage - and then kill them. That's one possible answer to your question. 🤔
They're funny aren't they?! They turn up anywhere they think that Muslims might be! But seriously.. what a monstrous way to carry on. People are talking about dieing in an earthquake and all they're interested in is grinding a religious axe that has no relevance outside of India 🤷🙄
