Massive earthquake affecting Turkey and Syria


Absolutely horrendous, seeing the aftermath on the TV was awful and I hope lots of help floods into the region asap.
All those people trapped under the rubble man 😪
 
I’m not wishing these people harm, you realise? I hope everyone escapes.

I think I understand what you mean, possibly.

I remember watching the footage of the Tsunamis in Thailand and Japan and thinking how awesome it would be to witness it first hand, but also thinking how horrendous it would be to witness such devastating losses of life
 
Watching nature at its strongest is fascinating but devastating at the same time.

You most certainly have some sort of sociopathic disorder if you can watch natural disasters and not feel empathy for the victims but I can understand the intrigue of watching things like that.

I was in Phuket the year before the tsunami, stopping in a beach front hotel. I could have watched it from my balcony if it had happened then, but I’m sure the following days wouldn’t have been much fun.
 
Who am I supposed to be winding up like? The fact is I don’t really care about people I don’t know, it’s been pretty well documented on here over the years. So whenever I see a natural disaster (or even a man made one) I think wow that’s amazing first and foremost. I have no concern for the people involved whatsoever. I can understand people not believing me, but similarly I can’t believe some people see things like this on the news and get upset and cry.
I just asked a lad at work the same question his exact words were “don’t know them, don’t care”.

Anything like that - tornado, explosion, fire, flood, ships sinking, I find fascinating. I love those seconds from disaster and air crash investigation programmes.

It’s sociopathic if owt. But mainly Aspergers.
Fair enough
 
Has any SMB'er even been somewhere when an earthquake struck?

I haven't and hope I never am.

A much smaller one than this, 4.something, in Northern California. Strong enough that all my doors and light fixtures were swinging. Very unnerving feeling. Wouldn’t want to be in a big one.
 
Turkey has now been hit by another (7.5 magnitude) earthquake and the known death toll stands at 2,600+

Absolutely devastating footage on the news
Is that now 3? I know the first 2 this morning were 40km apart and they would also cause aftershocks, so hoping its just an aftershock and not a 3rd earthquake (I'm hoping 2 is better than 3 for aftershocks and issues).
 
There’s few countries in the world could manage the urgent rescue efforts needed in those freezing temperatures. God and the rest of the world help them all.
