News:
Torrential rains and floods, which headed for Istanbul after killing 10 people in Thrace for two days, hit the city the previous day and paralyzed it on Wednesday. Ayamama Brook in İkitelli - İstanbul, which also overflowed in recent years and is a risky area, could not hold the 90 kg/h rain. The flood inundated a truck parking area and the Basin Express highway. People were trapped in vehicles as the danger was not realized and the traffic was not cut. Seven women in a minivan that was dragged by floods in Halkalı, and 10 people in the truck parking area drowned in muddy waters. The death toll in ongoing floods in Istanbul and Tekirdag rose to 31. Efforts are under way to find nine missing people. (Taken from Turkish Daily News)

What is the dude grabbing out of the drawer at 3:15?

[ugurob]

I dunno :( This is really helping answer isn't it :) My opinion is his personal stuff maybe cell phone etc. because he put those to higher shelf. I guess he thinks he will come back to get them.

[soutarm]

I thought it might have been cash but why would you leave an unlocked drawer full of cash sitting there like that? ;)

[ugurob]

I don't think it is cash. Why would he put the cash instead drawer under the flood :) put it in to your pocket, man! (with same reason like yours) And if this place is security office that kind of money may be the only the dudes personal money.

As far as I heard on the news, around 4000 cell phone user lost their wireless service because of this event.

But hey, they filled in a river bank and build these buldings. This is called "corruption in government kills people and then you can blame the mother nature"

[blizzard242]

Why would you put a data center in a flood plain. This is simply bad planning.

This vid is a favorite on Somalia

This is not a Vodafone DC. This is old Telsim Point of Presence. Vodafone Plaza has the Buyukdere-Maslak.

[davepusey]

Impressive that, considering the damage, both the security cameras and their servers still had power and connectivity to record the whole event.
