  • Must have been terrifying.

  • 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.

  • Disaster logistics your amazing. and very generous we need more people like you in this world. Nowadays everyone has become greedy and less caring for others. which obviously is what i call the battle of the "remained" resources. I always say to my self theres over 300,000,000 million people in America if everyone donated only 1 dollar that can probably save all of Africa. then we can move on and help other developing countries.

  • 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.

  • i was in bakirkoy when this happened, i was only about 10 years old

  • 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.

  • 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 was 4 years old when this happened and it was the most traumatic experience of my life.

    i don't remember most things when i was little but i just can't forget this.

  • 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

  • @yigitbilgin

    Earthquakes don't magically stop....there WILL be more huge earthquakes in Turkey in the future. What Turkey needs is better infastracture that way the buildings don't always collapse during a strong earthquake.

  • @simsek09

    What would we get from saving Africa?

    They will just reproduce even more then and create more poverty and crime.

    What Africa needs is doctors to sterilize the people.

  • earthquakes are so horrible
