friend from there told me these buildings were all advertised as being resilient and certified to stand up to earthquakes


Now wait a sec, I know Earthquakes are no joke, but gotdamn, what are they buildings made out of Paper-mache, I know Turkey is suppose to be earthquake proof.

my guess is the buildings are very cheaply made and the approvals are all passed through without real pushback. the developers are probably buying the approvals



this guy says the columns in the foundation were probably cut to put in parking garages
