The Ceyhan Oil Export Terminal has sustained damage of some kind from the latest quake, forcing a shutdown of the BTC Pipeline. The terminal is located across the gulf from the site of last week's earthquake. The pipeline has a capacity of at least 1MM BPD.

When you see the extent of the damage to the soil, you realise that a pipline (or a nuclear facility) could not sustain such deformation intact.

Yeah. It's just a tremendous amount of damage. Latest I've seen is up to 700,000 homes and apartments destroyed or severely damaged beyond habitability.

That's just getting cruel.

@FacEngrPE

these probes are probably going to show that it was no fault of the Turkist goverment and only catch small fisk entrepreneurs (not "frinds" of Erdogan) and small time bureaucrats. Part of Erdogans original platform were reforms after a 1999.

I am not going to hold my breath waiting to see the results. The 2023 Turkish general election is scheduled to take place on 18 June 2023, so what happens after the elections is going to be a better indication of the countries resolve to effectively deal with building codes corruption.

Meanwhile nature is still clearing the field of earthquake damaged structures.

No building or any other structure would have stood a chance where that gorge opened up near the city of Antalya. See the utube video linked by 1503-44 above, 19 Feb, 2118.

When a shock wave goes for dense to less dense material, the amplitude increases dramatically.

"No building or any other structure would have stood a chance where that gorge opened up near the city of Antalya. See the utube video linked by 1503-44 above, 19 Feb, 2118."

Yes. Which likely explains why no one thought it a great idea to build one there.

Probably just luck. The Romans had no idea that Vesuvius was a volcano, but judging by the number of people still there and on the near slopes of Etna and on the San Andreas fault, etc. etc., other factors are apparently far more concerning when it comes to chosing a building location.

At least the volcano some 15km from me is 99.975% "dead". It still emmits some gas occasionally. I'm not too worried. I have not bought insurance coverage for lava flows or earthquakes.

Yeah that’s how it plays out in backward countries. Its a political exercise designed to put the blame in the most expedient location. The fact that arrests happened immediately was so ridiculous.
