The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said that preliminary data showed the quake measured 7.7 magnitude on the Richter scale, and was 67 km (42 miles) north north-east of Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, at a depth of 2 km. Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority stated that it was slightly smaller at 7.6 magnitude and at a greater depth.
We’re watching the news since 4 hours and all the suffering is unbelievable…
The problem is that everyone with money can become a so called "overseer" and built his own buildings. They can hire the companies and architects and have complete control over them. They have 0 knowledge and only think about money. My cousin is an architect and said that they’re ignoring their warnings and built buildings left and right. They also use cheap components for their buildings.
This why the buildings fall apart like paper.
This corrupt and egoistic system must change otherwise the same tragedy will happen again in the future.

People have nowhere to run or hide
Everywhere are high buildings, it’s cold and the government won’t help them in the future
Some years ago an earthquake happened in the neighbour city of my relatives and those people still live in tents while Erdogan's people live in wealth.

Yes but have you seen how many buildings fall like paper? This doesn’t change the corrupt system. They’re ignoring the warnings of the scientist and built their high buildings in unfitting places. An entire village was rescued back then because they listened to the warnings and built concurring buildings
Yes, 7.8 is too much but many life’s could’ve be rescued. This why science and all the other specialised jobs exists in the first place

High buildings is necessary for development but for government it's about minimizing the cost as much possible.
It's a complex issue and earth quake is a one off thing, like none expected this hard earthquake. If we gonna create buildings that needs to stand against 7.8 quake then we're pretty much bankrupt lol.
Not sure if I understood this one right.
There are higher powers than humans in this universe. It is not necessary some mythical or inexplainable power. Like a god.
The sun is already a higher power than us. Which is why it war worshipped in the past. It is what ultimately gives life to us.
A higher power can also be (an imo it is) a physical concept that we can not comprehend due to a limitation of our own minds.
revering a concept = okay in my book
worshipping a personification of a concept or a person itself = idiocy

No I’m criticising the country and corruption. Did I mention others? Of course we need change the country but it’s not easy. It’s a dictatorship. Do you know how many journalists are in prison because they criticised the government? They even sent spies to our Cafés and praying houses.
dude i know all too well how dictatorship work. i ran from one.
and thats the thing at the end of the day majority of people dont' want to sacrifice what little comfort they have to challange the status quo. so they rather keep suffering than change it.
and if thats the case smart people just leave, like i did , or i guess you too. leaving the majority of people to thier devices .
There’s a ray of hope for turkey
most people hate the government because of the economic crisis. The other political parties already formed an alliance

The problem are not the high buildings.
the problems are
1. That government doesn’t check the buildings because of corruption
2. That they’re ignoring warnings of the specialists. You can built certain buildings in certain places but not everywhere
3. The usage of extremely cheap components
my grandpa could go and lead a project without any qualifications

Oh at first I thought you are talking about another flood in Germany.
Fuck......you said it yourself, the buildings in Turkey are not safe because of corruption.
You understand now why I ducking hate people?
It's the same everywhere,some countries more some less.
Thank god your loved ones are safe.
Are illegal buildings also an issue in Turkey?
Because I know from Albania that people there just build random houses everywhere without permission, on other peoples's land
because the people that build structures that the romans or the greeks could not replicate were too stoopid to realize this.
thats exactly the reason why it was such a widespread target for reverance. same applies for the stars.
but what did we relied on , powerful man. cause they controlled the people. people worship what they need and what can give some sense of control in thier life.
that is not what happens in religion. its a cult about people who lived long ago. none of them have any power right now. nor did they have any special sort of power back then. all the influence was very limited in scale.
we shifted from the sun to man for one reason alone. we are stupid. being religious is the most cucked thing one can imagine. you are doing the bidding of some bloke that has been dead for aeons.
This makes me so furious.
Capitalist governments are so deep into the a**es of corporate that they willingly ignore science and expertise.
Remember when this flood happened two years ago?
The government OPENLY ADMITTED afterwards that if a similar catastrophe were to happen again, they'd have zero measures available to prevent it.
They just let everyone die, they don't give a flying fuck about human lives.
I hate them so damn much
IMHO people came to worship anthropomorphic versions of natural forces is because as they evolved over time, humans shifted their focus towards humankind as the center of all things.
I do understand your explanation but nevertheless, it's really rude to call people 'idiots' for praying to an anthropomorphic deity.
it is in fact rude. I am aware.
this is why I usually do not talk to religious people about religion. feelings will inevitable get hurt. but this thread is a politics thread and in my opinion religion has held humanity back long enough.
I think this can go both ways.
In extreme forms, Religion may be stifling and limiting. Yet it can help establish ethical values in a society. Progress without ethics is bound to fail.
