The earthquake was magnitude 7.6. And nowhere near 45.000 people were killed as being suggested in this video. The official numbers are: 17,127 killed and 43,959 injured.
I Know this.... My parents wanted to go to their family's in Turkey.... We ended up staying in a hotel... Next thing you know The whole hotel starts to shake. We ended up going somewhere in a taxi with our P.J'S on :D
I will post up more video from my two missions into Haiti since the quake. Haiti was such a terrible pit of suffering even before the quake. Now it just redefines the term.
I challenge you to come help us get that word out to more people. Thank you very much for your very kind words. If more people just stepped outside their comfort zone and saw the needs in the rest of the world... surely they would respond. I wake up at night thinking about this. Thanks again for your passion for those in need.
As a father and a grandfather I can understand the comments/assumptions about jumping on the bed (what a laugh). The ants story was very interesting. The picture in my mind's eye of a 5 year old watching those ants at what I am sure was a terrifying time is a picture I wish I had a photo of. Thanks for the feedback.
i used to live in izmir, turkey when i was about 5 years old (dads in the military), i remember there being an earthquake and the wierdest thing happened...i was in a hotel and then my parents woke me up just by yelling in their halfway sleep "teddy dont jump on the bed!" so that woke me up and i said "mom im not" then suddenly it got worse and pictures fell it wasnt going well. i saw a perfect line of ANTS at least a few hundred going along the cracks in the walls, i remember that most lol
Must have been frightening for a 10 year old (anyone for that matter). I think the things that haunt me the most were the stories about people hearing cries coming out from beneath the rubble and then falling silent before help could arrive. It is something I have heard countless times in other places. You never really get over it.
Yes this helps. You lived in Eskisehir Turkey. I will always remember the people and places from my work in Turkey. It was a terrible earthquake with huge suffering. Thank you for the nice rating.

I was there in 1999.
It was in fact a 7.4 earthquake not an 8.0

Yes... those numbers always change as the results are studied more. Nonetheless a terrible quake. Hope you and yours were not significantly effected.
