Woke up memories and fears

The strong 6.2 -magnitude earthquake that has shocked early in the afternoon in Constantinople, one of the strongest vibrations that have shocked the Turkish metropolis in recent years, has caused panic to residents, awakening memories and fears.

The epicenter of the earthquake, which occurred at 12:49 was off the coast of Silibri, at the Marmara Sea, about 80 kilometers west of Constantinople, announced the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Disaster and Emergency (AFAD) and Minister of Interior.

The focal depth was 6.92 km, according to Afad. Similar was the measurement of the German Geosciences Research Center (GFZ), which said the earthquake was 6.2 degrees with a focal depth of 10 km except for the main earthquake, the Afad said it recorded three more vibrations of 3.9 to 4.9 degrees in the same area.

Erdogan

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he was “closely monitoring developments” and Transport Minister Abdulkadir Veillou stressed that initial inspections did not show damage or problems on motorways, airports, railways.

“All emergency services are on alert. No building has collapsed, according to the information we have at this stage. We are continuing investigations, “the Constantinople Government said, calling on citizens to” stay away from damage buildings “. The municipality also stressed that it was monitoring the situation, stating that “no serious damage has been reported so far”.

At least two vibrations, with a fraction of a second fraction, became strongly felt in all districts of the city of 16 million inhabitants, as the country has an official holiday today.

Thousands on the streets

Thousands of people took panic -stricken streets, reporters from the French agency said. The TGRT television station reported that a man was injured after jumping from a balcony at the time of the earthquake.

In the center of the city, many people gathered in parks and others sat on the doorstep of their homes, as the aftershocks continued to become sensible. Some stores were closed after the earthquake that shaken the European side of the city.

Fear of ‘Greatness’

Turkey is crossed by two faults that have caused many deadly earthquakes in the past.

The earthquake awakened memories of the 1999 deadly earthquake near Constantinople that killed 17,000 people.

Constantinople lives with the fear of a “grandeur” as it is 20 km from the northern Anatolian rift and some experts make forecasts for an earthquake at least 7 points by 2030, which would cause partial or total collapse of hundreds of thousands of buildings.

In February 2023, southeastern Turkey experienced the most devastating earthquake of its modern history, which killed at least 53,000 people, leveling cities, destroying historical monuments.
