It is calculated that the probability of an earthquake of 7.2 or higher in Istanbul by 2030 is 80%. 20 million people live in Istanbul. Since there is an earthquake, the loss of life can reach up to 1 million. Istanbul earthquake will be one of the biggest disasters in the history of the world with its human and economic losses. It is now too late to change this and there is almost nothing that can be done. The south coast of Istanbul is very vulnerable to earthquakes and buildings built before 1999 were not built to withstand an earthquake at 7.2 sides. Hundreds of thousands of buildings will be demolished. After the earthquake, most of the main roads will be blocked due to the earthquake or traffic, and entry and exit from most parts of the city will be impossible. Electricity, water, sewerage, internet infrastructures will collapse in the city and food and water will not be distributed to the city. Even if all aid organizations in the world are mobilized, this is not possible in the first 72 hours, the next 72 hours or later. The only solution for the evacuation of people in the city may be to evacuate the city on foot. This will be a terrible tragedy and may be one of the closest apocalyptic things the world has ever experienced. It will take more than a year to rebuild the infrastructure in many parts of Istanbul, demolish the damaged buildings and remove the debris. It will not be possible for me to live in Istanbul during this time. The region will probably be evacuated for security reasons. Istanbul pays half of the tax in Turkey, 80% of imports and exports are made by Istanbul companies. The management of all financial institutions and big companies of Turkey is in Istanbul. if istanbul is destroyed, half of turkey's economy because of istanbul will disappear and the industrial and commercial activities in the remaining half of Turkey will decrease by half. that means a 75% contraction of the economy over the course of a year. In the event of the Istanbul earthquake, the people in the rest of Turkey will also be in need of financial assistance.

well, not really .. they had actually planned the urban renewal projects also in the cities where those 50 thousand people were killed in the last earthquakes, and years ago at that.. but the biggest opposition party claimed it was unnecessary and just a means to embazzle money, persuaded the people there, went to court 10 times until the government finally dropped the project, and by doing so lifted the designation as a risked region as mentioned in this video. now people died and the opposition party pointed the finger at the government before the last elections. 😂 kind of a joke actually.

We have known that doomsday is coming up for İstanbul for literally years, and not able to make provision against it as people while the government is capable, but not doing anything 🥲
To be honest, now it is too late for a urban renewal. I think a foreigner or Turkish person who doesnt live in İistanbul doesnt understand real situation in İstanbul. Maybe İstanbul is most complicated big city in world. Earthquake is so close, however urban renewal still is far away from enough. Considering national interest of Turkey such as economy and national security and surely life of people, İstanbul had to been evacuated immediately. Goverment has to encourage companies to transfer their hqs to other cities. In additon to these, goverment has to encourage İstanbul people to move to other cities and surely, it requires master plans and operational plans. Somehow, İstanbul population has to reduce. By the way, company plazas which will be evacuated can be used as housing. Also, remote working is very important and useful for evacuating of İstanbul.
Urban removal is impossible to do in economical crisis and earthquake in the south east doesnt help too.Turkey is literally done if something like that happen. We do not have a population problem, but loss of infrastructure and industry will be detrimental to the country as a whole. People already live with difficulty and I cant imagine what will happen if that happens.
For those visiting or living in Turkey - the whole country is an earthquake zone. Scientists continue to warn that at any moment at any spot a devastating earthquake can happen. For Istanbul, this was known for decades. In 1999 (devastating earthquake nearby with ‘only’ 1000 deaths in Istanbul) the city’s population was 8 million. Now the next one is up and the city has 20+ million people. So those who can, please please please leave the city. Even if you survive in Nisantasi, Etiler or Kadıköy, you will not be able to leave, there’ll be total devastation surrounding every spot, raging fires, no water, electricity, no food, no help from anyone. If you can’t leave, please contact your government and remind them of the dangers. Obviously try to follow local guidelines and emergency personnel, but we need help from other countries now before it’s too late. 😢
Its true that the most of the country is an earthquake zone but that doesn't mean any moment at any spot a devastating earthquake can happen. It's only special to Istanbul. Rest of the country already had the devastating earthquakes( >7). there can be minor earthquakes in any moment at any spot but it wont be a disaster like it will be in Istanbul.
Im from tehran, its been 40 years since they say earthquake will come and davestate all tehran and kill everyone And no earthquake has come Its pure luck for us, but the only way is to only buy buildings with better earthquake protection
Turkey is not a country that is prone to earthquakes, Indonesia even has earthquakes more frequently. Do I have to leave my country? Even without an earthquake, all humans will die, Japan is also prone to earthquakes.
The deaths from the Earthquake in February must be over 100000. Since 270000 buildings were destroyed and in vast majority of them were whole families living. Now imagine a city like Istanbul with thousands of buildings and 10 million people being packed in one area. The results of an earthquake there, will be absolutely devastating and a huge humanitarian catastrophe. Horrifying…
Istanbul is old and most of the building will collapse within minutes if the earthquake. Over 100,0000 people would die, and millions become homeless. Orphan children would be everywhere and crying of hunger. 2023 and 2024 is going to be years to remember! @@theottomanempirewillriseag7265
the interesting thing is, ppl know about that and they have witnessed a huge earth quake just few months ago but they still keep living in Istanbul. and it is the most expensive city in Turkey, I'm not getting that
The problem is the industry people are there because there is no job opportunities elsewhere.They should have forbid Istanbul to build new industries and shift the already there industries elsewhere if you ask me the city cant carry the population anymore and earthquake might wipe out half of the country's industry along with millions of people off the earth
it's not so easy to uproot your life and move to somewhere else. if the date of an earthquake was certain, everybody could try to move out temporarily but for setting up a new life people would need assurances which is not easy to obtain.
As in the summer 2023, the majority Tirkye people are preoccupied with their "negative" opinions on economy. They are not interested in taking precautions against natural and man-made catastrophes. Prepare emergency supply bags, practise emergency drills regularly, and forget about wasting time politicking.
It is so easy to comment from there. We are aware of the problems. However, we can’t afford to replace our old buildings. I don’t want to live in my apartment which is obviously not strong enough to stand against earthquakes, but I don’t have the means to move or buy a new house. I am only able to prepare a bag to use in case of an emergency that contains some supplies and locate a logical point at home to survive during an earthquake. That’s all I can do…
well having a "negative" economy means that people cant afford to move out of the marmara region as all the major industrials are located there. blaming people for not taking "precautions" that they literally cant afford is just classless
Plus listen to the best scientist Prof Dr Üşümezsoy… he will give you the latest info about the expected earthquake which will not hit İstanbul as told. These spreading news are mostly to support new constructions and making money out of these… prof dr Üşümezsoy👍
Ask the government to move factories to Anatolia and build new buildings in Anatolia. Even if you renew the buildings in Istanbul, they will crack and become unusable in the earthquake. Your money will be wasted.
They should ban corporatisation in Istanbul and ensure that the population shifts to different cities, you cannot reduce the population of a city while job opportunities continue to increase. Such a huge strategic failure.
Constantinople was a much smaller city in the last big earthquakes in the 16th, 18th and 19th centuries. The next one will dwarf anything ever seen before.
As a Turk living in Istanbul, nothing scares me more than a possible Marmara earthquake. It will be one of the biggest disasters in history, more than 20 million people will lose their lives, millions of buildings will collapse and millions of people will be buried under rubble. Our government does not take any precautions. We also saw in the extremely effective February 2023 earthquake that no precautions were taken before the earthquake, and sufficient assistance was not provided after the earthquake. 1 year has passed since the 2023 earthquake and there are still people whose bodies have not been recovered. I lost some of my closest friends in that earthquake and two of them don't even have a grave. One of my friends who died had claustrophobia and asthma, and it takes my breath away to think about how much he suffered until the end. I miss you guys. I hope you didn't suffer too much. We do not forget you, we keep you alive in our hearts.
Seismic isolation isn't the solution for regular buildings such as residential buildings. But for regular buildings life safety isn't the only level of earthquake safety. In Turkey there are some parts of country which are waiting for immediate earthquakes. For the buildings in those zones can be chosen the immediate usage level.
So you are saying that last year's earthquake might be the precursor of something much worse that could happen in a not-very-distant future? I guess I will have to take Istanbul off my travel plans list.
Istanbul earthquake is on the topic for almost 20 years now.They have been saying an earthquake will happen in there everytime there is an earthquake elsewhere. So the topic is old and frankly it is too old that people are skeptical that will even happen although new earthquake may trigger things
Almost anywhere in the world there million ways to die. If you want to go, you can just go for a few days and enjoy the travel. Most likely nothing will happen.

Earthquakes are like our national trauma, we need a metal rehabilitation for that too.
Ok now, we f.cked up
The buildings need to be retrofitted, if Tokyo can do it Istanbul can too. Why is it only Tokyo that prepares for earthquakes? So sad
As in the summer 2023, the majority Tirkye people are preoccupied with their "negative" opinions on economy. They are not interested in taking precautions against natural and man-made catastrophes. Prepare emergency supply bags, practise emergency drills regularly, and forget about wasting time politicking.
It is so easy to comment from there. We are aware of the problems. However, we can’t afford to replace our old buildings. I don’t want to live in my apartment which is obviously not strong enough to stand against earthquakes, but I don’t have the means to move or buy a new house. I am only able to prepare a bag to use in case of an emergency that contains some supplies and locate a logical point at home to survive during an earthquake. That’s all I can do…
well having a "negative" economy means that people cant afford to move out of the marmara region as all the major industrials are located there. blaming people for not taking "precautions" that they literally cant afford is just classless
Plus listen to the best scientist Prof Dr Üşümezsoy… he will give you the latest info about the expected earthquake which will not hit İstanbul as told. These spreading news are mostly to support new constructions and making money out of these… prof dr Üşümezsoy👍
Wow, if ignorance turn into a comment, it would be your.
Ask the government to move factories to Anatolia and build new buildings in Anatolia. Even if you renew the buildings in Istanbul, they will crack and become unusable in the earthquake. Your money will be wasted.
They should ban corporatisation in Istanbul and ensure that the population shifts to different cities, you cannot reduce the population of a city while job opportunities continue to increase. Such a huge strategic failure.
Constantinople was a much smaller city in the last big earthquakes in the 16th, 18th and 19th centuries. The next one will dwarf anything ever seen before.
Istanbul you mean.

Some buildings are so weak in Istanbul and they do not have any chance against big Istanbul earthquake.
As a Turk living in Istanbul, nothing scares me more than a possible Marmara earthquake. It will be one of the biggest disasters in history, more than 20 million people will lose their lives, millions of buildings will collapse and millions of people will be buried under rubble. Our government does not take any precautions. We also saw in the extremely effective February 2023 earthquake that no precautions were taken before the earthquake, and sufficient assistance was not provided after the earthquake. 1 year has passed since the 2023 earthquake and there are still people whose bodies have not been recovered. I lost some of my closest friends in that earthquake and two of them don't even have a grave. One of my friends who died had claustrophobia and asthma, and it takes my breath away to think about how much he suffered until the end. I miss you guys. I hope you didn't suffer too much. We do not forget you, we keep you alive in our hearts.
I am packing and running
Do not pack a thing. Take yourself as far away into the mountains and rely on ME, JESUS. PREPARE YOUR HEART and follow ME. Indeed, Jesus

Istanbul.

How did they get all those glowing triangles up in the air? it sure look dangerous!
Seismic isolation isn't the solution for regular buildings such as residential buildings. But for regular buildings life safety isn't the only level of earthquake safety. In Turkey there are some parts of country which are waiting for immediate earthquakes. For the buildings in those zones can be chosen the immediate usage level.

well sadly the current corrupt government will never do anything about this, because thats how their rule will end. think of it as the disaster that will wake people up from the bad government they have, sometimes you need a huge wakeup call in order to cleanse.

@randomhuman5525 Istanbul is Turkish now and forever no doubt. However until Cyprus is reunited there will always be tension between Greeks and Turks I hope we can solve this unite and split the profits in Agean and Eastern Mediterranean
@@mikem8211 Turkish Cypriots voted yes, while Greek Cypriots voted no, to the peaceful United Cyprus plan of Turks and Greeks together (Annan Plan). Unfortunately, Greeks do not want to live with Turks under any circumstances. The solution is to divide Cyprus into two independent states, Turkish Cyprus and Greek Cyprus. However, the Greeks also oppose this. He wants them to expel the Turks from the island. They are closing the door to peaceful solutions. How can there be peace in this situation?
@randomhuman5525 we opposed because we refuse to have 40000 Turkish troops remain on our island. There is no 2 state solution ever the sooner Turks realise this the better that is not an option. Cyprus can unite under the UN agreed arrangements of 1960 bi-communal state for all Cypriots Turkish mainland settlers go home. If not it will stay as it is forever the Turkish Cypriots suffer not us
@@randomhuman5525 no, greek cypriots only want their possessions that barbaric troops stole from them. They also want their island back. While they were 82% of the population of their island, an alien army from another country invaded their place , killing them, and stealing their lands and houses etc. . And so, it’s obvious what greek cypriots want. Plain justice. ( and soon they will get it, cause their cause is Just).

Istanbul is NOT EUROPEAN CITY 😅
I was wondering if I would see such a comment. There are always some like you :)
Yes, it is. Why all this weird hostility?
People in this comment section literally thinking they're so smart by claiming this. Istanbul is geographically, historically, culturally and economically a European city by all standarts. It's split between Europe and Asia geographically, yes, but even if you only count the population living on the European side, It's still at worst the 4th most populous city in Europe, after Moscow, London and Paris. Depending on how you count those cities, it can still even be the first.
Some people act like Europe is a cool guys club which they get to decide who's allowed or not. Either change the definitions or get your facts straight. Istanbul is a European city.

As a Greek I can confirm it is indeed European 🇪🇺
