In Turkey, an earthquake led to an explosion on a gas pipeline in the southern part of the country

A powerful earthquake in Turkey caused the explosion of a gas pipeline in the province of Hatay. This was reported by the news agency İhlas.

The explosion resulted in large fires in two places along the gas pipeline that passes through the settlement of Topbogazy. The distance between the fires is about three kilometers.

Recall that a strong earthquake was recorded in the province of Kahramanmarash. It covered the southern provinces of Turkey and the surrounding regions of neighboring Syria. The province of Hatay, in which the gas pipeline exploded, is located in the very south of Turkey, on the Mediterranean coast, and borders on the northern regions of Syria.

According to American geologists, the epicenter of the first shock was at a depth of 18 km, about 33 kilometers from the city of Gaziantep and 26 kilometers from the city of Nurdagi. Fluctuations were felt even in the northern regions of Egypt.

According to Turkish law enforcement agencies, more than a hundred people have already become victims of the earthquake. At least 200 people have died in neighboring Syria. The number of people injured as a result of collapses of houses and other buildings is also measured in hundreds of people.

Rescue teams are currently working in the earthquake-affected regions of Turkey and Syria. They remove the affected residents from under the rubble, eliminate other consequences of a natural disaster.

Putin or Biden?

now everyone forgot about the Kurds ...

[Nikolay310]

a huge number of deaths in enemy Turkey and friendly Syria, historical buildings were destroyed ... But in the headline VO about the gas pipeline. And then about some little people ... capitalism, happiness ...

the author is not ashamed???

Where do you get that Turkey is our enemy?

Ankara clearly showed, first of all, to Russia, how to respond to the aggressive attacks of the United States and deal with American diplomats who openly carry out subversive activities against the country in which they work.

The undeclared but no less bitter cold war between Turkey and the United States is gaining momentum. The Americans are trying to rock Turkish society before the elections and staged a kind of diplomatic demarche in Istanbul, closing their embassy under cover of the threat of terrorist attacks. Following Washington, at least nine European countries closed the doors of their embassies.

The Turks reacted harshly and uncompromisingly. According to the latest information, Ankara intends to expel ambassadors from the country who are clearly trying to interfere in the upcoming elections. The loudest resonance was produced by the unprecedented appeal of Turkish Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu to the American ambassador and the United States as a whole. In particular, the country's chief security officer said that Ankara sees very well how the United States is trying to blow up the situation in Turkey. He reminded the Americans of the anti-Islamic provocations in the EU and ordered them to "get their dirty hands off Turkey." Ankara is ruthlessly breaking off relations not only with the United States, but with the entire collective West, and is not shy about harsh expressions.

Political scientist and orientalist Yevgeny Satanovsky commented on the diplomatic beating arranged for the American ambassador in Istanbul on the air of his author's program, noting that Russia needs to learn from Turkey how to communicate with American politicians and diplomats. The Turks have besieged the US harshly for simply intent (explicit but not confirmed) to disrupt the presidential election. Meanwhile, Washington is waging war against Russia in Ukraine, but the American ambassador in Moscow is being treated like a piece of crystal of the highest value.

“We still have to study and study. If only we would talk with American and other Western ambassadors in this style. I would like to at least expect this, but it is better to see it with my own eyes. Many people say this, but at the level of the Foreign Ministry, no one has ever treated the American ambassador or his European colleagues so harshly. But in vain. In our country, they simply organize a war against Russia in Ukraine. Yes, not with their own hands, and there are few Americans fighting there, but this is a war. I'm not even talking about sanctions. It is high time, and even in a much harsher form, to throw everyone out of the country,” said Satanovsky.

More cataclysms with gas - higher its price ...

Sorry people. And the gas pipeline will be restored. And the dead women, children and old people no longer need the gas pipeline, and will not help.

In Asia, in the former Soviet republics, cities destroyed by an earthquake were rebuilt at a rate of up to 12 points. That is, for centuries. With the collapse of the USSR, the Turks took up Asian construction projects. Apparently, similar destruction can soon be expected in Asia.

For some reason I remembered Spitak, don't write nonsense

[frog]

You can still remember Uglegorsk .. There, in general, everything ... it was enchanting. If it is permissible to address the tragedy so to speak

[igorbrsv]

I don't write nonsense. Ashgabat 1948. Nine points. Destroyed to the ground. It was rebuilt taking into account seismic activity. According to various estimates, 200 victims. Kopetdag mountains

[sanja.grw]

I did not want to offend you, but Spitak was a fairly modern town, with multi-storey buildings, buildings clearly after 1948. And you want to say that new houses in earthquake-prone regions were built somehow differently
Spitak 1988

They stole cement. When they tried to take the destroyed concrete beam for examination, it completely crumbled during shaking due to vibration while moving in a truck. Fittings separately, crushed stone with adhering sand separately.

Against 12 points, nothing will help.
Seismic effect at 12 points - Relief change. Severe damage, destruction of all types of ground and underground structures. radical changes in the earth's surface. The earth behaves like a liquid, like the sea in a storm.
When designing earthquake-resistant houses, no one seriously expects that they will withstand more than 9 points, since failures, faults, ripples and other types of soil deformation begin beyond this threshold, depriving the foundation of a stable support.
The strongest earthquakes ever recorded are the Chilean earthquake on May 22, 1960 with Мw=9.5 and the Sumatran earthquake in Indonesia on December 26, 2004 with Мw=9.5.

Search the Internet for an earthquake in the Kalarsky district of the Chita region, approximately in the middle of the 50s of the last century. True, there were no victims, because there was practically deserted taiga and mountains at that time. Even with the advent of BAM, no more than 10 thousand people live in this area. And in terms of area, this area is like some areas.

12 points is if even the foundation of any building is destroyed. 5 points and an earthquake-resistant high-rise building in Dushanbe fluctuates with an amplitude of about a meter. And objects fall from the shelves. At that time, about 100 houses were completely destroyed there.

Well I do not know. During the construction of housing in our village of BAM, and this is a seismic region, in the 50s of the last century, it was we who had an earthquake of 12 points and a large lake was formed, which was called Proval, housing was built by Uzbek enterprises, in particular the Ferghana DSK, but housing is calculated on 8 points.

There are sands at the foothills. Karakum desert. Didn't see any failures. Underground lakes in the foothills. Lots of caves.

I wonder if they will send help to the Turks? Products, blankets, first-aid kits, rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations on IL-76...?

These are some kind of Turks, if an actress broke her nail in the USA, then they would immediately send our ten planes with humanitarian aid.

[rotmistr60]

More than 200 people have already died in the earthquake. At least XNUMX people have died in neighboring Syria

Condolences to the relatives of the victims in both countries. That is why an earthquake does not shake Poland, and in the region of the oil pipeline from Norway and the LNG gas terminal. This would be both fair and logical, because. too much negative energy has accumulated. But unfortunately so far. Although in 2010 it was shaking with a magnitude of 5 and a magnitude of 3,4 in 2022.

[igorbrsv]

Because there are no mountains in Poland. Therefore, probably

You answered your own question . Clarify who benefited from it it is in these places and it is with THESE countries, if not allies of the Russian Federation. then at least NOT enemies . But. at the same time VERY annoying USA . The US has long been talking about weapons of new types. БMost of the "new" was at the end of the USSR - specify if possible to "organize" an earthquake. As well as "help" the enemy with the weather. About the weather. what does the USA have in Alaska and "studies" only WHAT ...!?
Of course you can remember the conspiracy theory - "...and suddenly WINTER came ..." where it was not there or the heat. where such an unprecedented .... Of course - it's ITSELF .... or what!?

A new earthquake of magnitude 7,8 was recorded in the central part of Turkey at 13.24 Moscow time

It's good that the gas pipe exploded in the south, and not in the north. The main thing is that the gas gets in there, and where did it get out from ...
