I saw to ruins building at Izmit earthquake in 1999, while I was going to Istanbul for journey with train. I didn't feel to the earthquake so shake of train but railway was cutted by shake. We were down from the train near Sakarya city. We made hitchhiking and then we saw to disaster that was terrible. Superhighways were Splited, Bridges were collapsed, Buildings were demolished.
There is a big problem in Turkey that Geology isn't known by authorized. Geology isn't given enough importance. Even borders were drawn by geologists. However Geology isn't learnt by authorized.
I am afraid of Big earthquakes in Turkey Because Buildings aren't enough strengthened.
What a pity!
