Massive earthquake affecting Turkey and Syria


My ex is Aspergers and she found the twin towers collapsing fascinating...for that reason I'll cut you some slack, but many on here won't understand how you can isolate sentiment.
Oh, the twin towers coming down I also found fascinating. I can’t remember having any thoughts for the victims at the time, I just remember thinking that Osama must have been beside himself with joy that they’d actually managed to bring them down.
 
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.
It would have been class man, you could have posted about it on here, we’d be laughing at you and not giving a fuck….if we were you

See I don't count myself as a nutter and its horrible what happened but those videos were mad.

I wouldn't say I enjoyed them but I did find it fascinating I won't lie. Same with the 2003 tsunami and other natural disasters.

It shows you insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things. May make me sound like a nutter but honestly I'm a very caring person :lol:

I was think more of the holiday being cut short and a lack of power and utilities, rather than bodies floating down the street like.
 
North East England. There's been a couple, one centred in Ripon in 2011 and one in Stockton-on-Tees in 2020.


There was one in Lincolnshire 2008 that we felt in Yorkshire. I remember being woken up by a loud rumbling sound and thinking the house was shaking.

Lad a work with a wooden bedroom floor said he woke up and his bed was moving across the floor with the tremors.

Remember it being a weird experience and the rumbling was really loud and we were about 40-50 miles away.

That one was 5.2 on the Richter scale so what it must be terrifying nearer the epicentre for larger ones.
 
I experienced an earthquake in Turkey in the early 90s. We were in Marmaris and I was just reading by the pool and it was only a good few seconds after it started that I suddenly realised something odd was happening as everyone was suddenly sat up like meerkats.

The epicenter was off Cyprus and didn't cause any injuries or damage where we were but it killed a couple of people in Eygpt.

Some friends of ours were in Thailand when they had the Tsunami. They were out to sea on a boat trip and remembered there being a massive swell with the boat rising and falling but didn’t know it was the Tsunami until they got back to shore and it was total destruction.

You do know standing in a field would be more dangerous than concrete, right?

We could have done a suitable thread in your honour…..Dead Dave Herbal in MS paint

Actually. I think we should do that anyway

It's sometimes tough for those not on the spectrum too...snowstorms, floods, tornados...all compulsive viewing, but all a danger to life.

I don’t know about on the ground, but on tv it just looked like a high tide that kept on coming in. Not like a huge crashing wave. I imagine we’d have been quite safe in the hotel.

Why? I’d imagine there is less chance of gas mains being underneath you, nothings going to fall on you, and unless a crevasse opens up underneath, you should be ok.
