Reply to comment by [deleted] in Whole building collapsed because of the aftershock in Urfa, Turkey by qptbook

Because they noticed it was about to collapse? I’ve never seen it but my guess is that it’s pretty obvious when an apartment building begins to wobble.

They are shouting warnings in the video. I don’t know what your problem is with this, but let’s just say that people react in different ways when dealing with actual life or death-situations. They probably should have been running but then again there may be people in danger that they could potentially help.

But, you can’t really run from an earthquake so the best thing might actually be to keep an eye on tall buildings around you. I don’t know.

How noble you must be to sit there in comfort and judge people in the middle of hell right now. If they want to film a fucking building falling during an aftershock, I'm not one to call it odd.

Running to where? There’s likely falling or collapsing buildings all around you, it’s an earthquake

During the earthquake in DC in 2011, we walked out of our office building to the opposite sidewalk—as the workers from the building across the street passed us heading to the sidewalk on our side. We all just looked at each other like Oh… There is no place to go. And that was nothing compared to this quake and its aftershocks.

That’s kind of hilarious looking back at but yeah there’s no were to really go in a situation like this even for days after

When people are in shock they generally aren’t the smartest of creatures. I know I’d want to be probably twice that distance personally but I would be definitely watching it to see what was happening.
