There hasn't been a disaster this bad now since the 2004 Tsunami and Earthquake killed 250,000 people in the Pacific Ocean and sent tidal waves all the way to California and the west coast of the U.S., Mexico and South America and Canada.
This tragedy is likely the perfect storm of the timing of the earthquake, the size of the earthquakes, the buildings who are older and not reinforced but likely made of cement and blocks or rocks where the Cement shatters from a 7.8 or a 7.8 and crumbles. This is the worst Quake to hit Turkey since 1939 when 300,000 people died. And at the present rate of deaths mostly caused now by the Freezing cold and discovering new bodies under the rubble could easily now go to 30,000 to 50,000 over the next 2 months time.
Horrific!
