That's like hearing Charles Manson had sent some of his favourite fans to clean up a road side accident.

[Berethor]

Yea I heard about it, earthquakes are natural disasters, so no much can be done about it.

The ancient castle in Gaziantep, Turkey, dating back thousands of years was destroyed in the earthquake in Turkey last night

Yes, sorry to hear that, hopefully rescue efforts have started.

[FilmGuy93]

I heard about that! What always blows my mind about situations like that is, how is it that 2,300 people die? It just always surprises me

[Vivaldi]

In Japan, at 9 magnitude earthquake, buildings did not fall. People died of Tsunami.

[FilmGuy93]

@Vivaldi Yup... similarly suprising to me. Apparently the earthquake in Turkey and Syria struck at 4am and just powdered buildings that people were sleeping in. Pretty horrifying stuff.

[Vivaldi]

similarly suprising? It is 9 magnitude and buildings dont fall in Japan.

At 7.7 Magnitude, buidings fall down in Turkey.

What is smilary suprising about it?

[Vivaldi]

At 7.4 Magnitude Earthquake, 4 people died in Japan.

[Vivaldi]

At 8.3 Magnitude Earthquake in 2003, one person died in Japan.
