    Looks like she's in no big hurry.

    Must be a real burden to be so good-looking.

    Poor building construction as usual in third world Countries apparently, nothing new. Poor Countries always have apartment buildings that are ready to fall down even before a major earthquake hits. What do you expect?

    Got building codes and rollers?

    Yes indeed. Gotta blame that on the contractors and original developer plot planning.

    Never a good idea to develop high rise condos or apartment buildings on sandy grounds.. They can begin to sink and get structurally compromised in time.

    Seen a sad video of a little girl maybe 10 years old begging people to help her and her brother who were trapped in rubble for hours, She told the people that she would be their servant if they saved her and her brother.

    What kind of ass-backwards world are they living in over there?

    Over 12 thousand dead. Turkey is a modern country, at least I thought.

    25 thousand now. That is unreal. They had to remove one lady’s arm to get her out of the rubble.

    Mother Earth doing her thing.

    You might be giving Turkey too much credit. Massive financial problems before the quake hit.

    There's a good chance that Turkey as a country just doesn't have the resources to help these people.

    Sounds like you might be correct on this assessment.
