Famous and reputable seismologist “gives” a 47% chance of a major earthquake in Istanbul
Concern prevails in Turkey from the frightening predictions of a famous and respected professor of seismology for an earthquake of up to 9 Richter in the near future.
According to the correspondent of SKAI in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis, seismology professor Natzi Giorour stated in a TV show that there is a 47% chance of a major earthquake in Istanbul, 7 to 7.5 Richter.
But in the area from Keratios to Silivria, up to 9 Richter will be felt!
These are nightmarish predictions with horror scenarios where people will not have water, there will be infectious diseases, etc.
Gyorun, who led 8 international and 2 national seismological surveys carried out with seismographic ships, reminded that the areas with the greatest risk is Istanbul.
“Consider a 10-kilometer strip starting from the coast of the Sea of ​​Marmara. There will be much more problems there, because the intensity of the earthquake will generally reach 9 Richter from the Horn Bay to Sylivria. The areas that are close to the sea such as Makrochori and Zeitinburnu will be more affected.
.
In Istanbul, the sewage network and the water supply run parallel. These networks will break in the earthquake and there will be a leakage of the sewage into the water supply network. There will be a huge epidemic. The water supply will be interrupted, there will be no sanitation,” he said characteristically.
