Turkey and Syria junction two strong earthquakes (level 7.8 and 7.5) occurred on February 6, and the number of deaths has exceeded 40,000.In the early morning of February 11, the Turkish Volleyball Federation announced that 16 members of the North Cyprus women's volleyball team were found in the ruins of a hotel named Isias (ISIAS) in Adayman Province, and they were all killed.However, this is not all.A high school volleyball team in the North Cyprus area went to the southern Turkey to participate in the competition, including the men's team, women's team and teachers, parents, and parents.Now confirm that 16 players and teachers in the women's team are killed, but there is no egg under the nest, and all the men's team members may be killed.
The photos and videos of the rescue scene are sighing and shocking.Isias has become a ruins, which is in sharp contrast to the previous gorgeous appearance.In the photo, the female high school student volleyball player's face was full of youthful atmosphere, like a bud to the flowers.The scene was the relics of their jerseys, sneakers, luggage and other relics found from the rubble. The loved ones were sad.
Who killed them?There may be tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 more victims in the next step, because the 72 -hour gold of rescue has passed, plus severe environmental factors such as rain and snow weather and low temperature in winter, and the people buried under the collapsed building have a slim opportunities for survival opportunities.EssenceUntil February 12, Turkish official data pointed out that a total of 12,141 buildings were destroyed or severely damaged in the earthquake.
The earthquake is not killed, the killing is inferior buildings!This is a consensus that people have long had.
If there are no houses collapsed in the earthquake, or there are fewer houses that collapse, there will be no dead people, or there are fewer dead people.Therefore, the killing is still the person; to be precise, it is the builders and constructioners of the houses.They cut off the materials and filled the ingredients for the secondary, and built a house that did not meet the earthquake -resistant standards.Such a disaster can be avoided in modern times, but it has repeatedly occurred. It must be said that it is the biggest tragedy in the world!
From the scene, inferior buildings are shocking, so that people use some new terms to depict the collapsed houses, "vertical collapse" and "muffin collapse", and these buildings have just been built shortly after completion.These descriptions means that the floor of each floor of the collapsed houses stacked with each other, and few people survived the building.Needless to say, the Israel Hotel where the North Cyprus women's queuer stayed at it, and it can be seen from the ruins that it is vertical collapse.The Issur apartment located in Malartia, located in the southern city, fell vertically under the strong earthquake.However, the apartment in the marketing advertisement is in line with the "latest earthquake -proof regulations."
Another port city of Eskendelen, an apartment on the 16th floor, is cut as vertically after the earthquake, and most of them turn the right to the wreckage on the right.The apartment promotional photo shows that it is completed in 2019 and deserves the latest standards.The GUCLU BAHCE apartment information located in Antakia showed that it was completed in November 2019, but it also showed vertical collapse.
Turkey is a country of earthquakes, and the quality of houses is related to life and health. Anyone knows this principle.In 2011, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake occurred in all provinces in eastern Turkey, causing 644 people to die.Erdogan, who is currently President and then the then Prime Minister of Turkey, said that the quality of poor housing buildings has an unswerving responsibility for major casualties caused by earthquakes. Relevant officials and architects are the same as murder.
Turkey encounters a destructive earthquake every 1.1 years, because 96%of the country's land is located on the earthquake belt, and 98%of the population lives on the earthquake belt.Since 1940, Türkiye has promulgated earthquake resistance specifications.In 1999, the Izmit earthquake died of about 17,000 people, and up to 20,000 buildings collapsed. Since then, Turkey has accelerated the construction of a standard system for modern building seismic design.The design specifications under the latest earthquake.
However, there are regulations, and regulations are not common.Muchku, chairman of the Turkish Architects Association, said thousands of buildings have been built with inferior materials and methods that do not meet the standards of seismic engineering.The building quality in the area of the earthquake is poor and not strong.
Professor Alexander Alexander, a disaster plan and management expert at the University of London, pointed out that the earthquake is strong, but it may not be enough to collapse the buildings with good structure, and most of the earthquakes in the disaster areas have not reached the highest.Therefore, it can be inferred that thousands of buildings that collapsed almost did not meet the legal earthquake standards.
After the previous 2020 Elazer earthquake, the field survey and research on the engineer team of the University of Sacaria, Turkey, pointed out that almost all casualties during the earthquake were caused by the collapse of the building.
On the other hand, Turkey has not enforced construction regulations while allowing real estate prosperity of the earthquake to flourish.These unqualified houses have been built in large quantities since the beginning of the 21st century, and some are built without even foundation.In 2018, government agencies responsible for implementing construction regulations acknowledged that more than half of Turkey's buildings did not meet the regulations.
Although a large number of buildings do not meet the earthquake resistance standards, they have not adopted a method of reinforcement or reconstruction.The Turkish government announced a comprehensive plan in 2018 to amnesty to companies and individuals who violate the standards of construction.After the offenders pay a fine, it is not necessary to correct the relevant illegal buildings to meet the norms.In the southern disaster area, as many as 75,000 unqualified builders have obtained amnesty.
The Turkish government adopts this solution because real estate is the economic train of Turkey. The official consideration is that if a large number of unqualified buildings are reinforced and rebuilt, the cost will cause serious economic growth.
However, the country on the earthquake belt to solve the method of building no earthquake -resistant standards through "building amnesty" is tantamount to crime; it is also a crime to not be implemented in accordance with the seismic standard at the beginning of the construction of a house.Once a large earthquake occurs, such "amnesty" and buildings that do not meet the earthquake -resistant standards will inevitably bring disaster.
Blowin 'in the WIND of the musician Bob Dylan wrote: How many ears of a person (referring to the power) can hear people being calling.How many people can know that too many people have died (only wake up).
In this regard, Hegel, a German philosopher, said that the only lesson of human beings learned from history is that they did not learn any lessons from history.The Turkish Volleyball Federation said that all 16 members of the North Cyprus Volleyball Team found in the ruins of the Ade Yaman Hotel were killed and felt deeply sad.This message is unacceptable.
Unacceptable means that from now on, all buildings must be built in accordance with the earthquake -resistant standards. In the past, all houses that did not meet the earthquake anti -resistance standards must be reinforced and rebuilt.Can Turkey or all countries and regions on the earthquake be done?
