Istanbul: Readying for a major earthquake | DW Documentary

Many experts believe that Istanbul will soon be hit by a major earthquake — potentially one of the most devastating natural disasters in recent history. It’s only a matter of time.

Istanbul is located directly on the North Anatolian Fault, between two tectonic plates. These move apart by two to three centimeters a year, over a length of 1,200 kilometers. This is why severe earthquakes in the region are a regular occurrence. A quake in Istanbul itself is only a matter of time and will affect millions of people. An earthquake with a predicted magnitude of 6 to 7 on the Richter scale would devastate the city.
Actress and filmmaker Nisan Arikan witnessed a severe quake in the region when she was nine years old. Together with geophysicist Patricia Martinez-Garzon, who researches the earthquake risk in Istanbul, she sets out to find solutions. How can the city’s 16 million residents prepare for a worst-case scenario?

Corruption is the root of all evil. Real estate development and construction needs to be regulated and strictly monitored.

I couldn't walk in the streets of Istanbul without the fear of an earthquake. Everything was so DENSE. They say we'd have 5 seconds warning. What can you do in 5 seconds? Not enough time to take an elevator, run to a plaza, or even move from where you are! You'd just have to pray to the gods and hope for the best. It would be a catastrophe.

Excellent documentary. No disaster in the US has ever come close to this recent quake. 3,OOO dead in 1906. It's hard to comprehend such a horrible calamity.

Through the video taken from above the city of Istanbul, clear that there are no empty areas. The city is full of buildings. It is so dense that there is no space to escape during a disaster emergency. DW thanks for the warning.

42:02 most of us that were born and live in an earthquake prone city feel the same way. Not much we can do about it. I remember the '99 quake, i lived in Bucharest, Romania. It was around 3 AM, and we thought it was a small quake in our country, in the morning we found out that it was a big one in Turkey :/

Currently, doing research regarding earthquake preparedness, the key to swift recovery is social capital and earthquake proof infrastructure, reliable forewarning systems do not exist as of yet. Istanbul has a shitload of previous mismanagement to fix. And the way I know my folk, we are going to be in hell once the quake does strike. Many of my family members died in Kahramanmaras in the quake, and that's why I'm doing said research. Turkey really needs to fund its NGO and volunteer sector, because they compensate what the government can not help with. I hope the earthquake never strikes, or at least only strikes once Istanbul is prepared accordingly, but i doubt it. I'm afraid of what comes afterward.

Such a beautiful landscape. My heart goes out to its victims, and my hopes for success to the scientists.

if they get hit with another massive earth quake, they're done for, and all it takes is a 2.5 mile radius

0:14: 🌍 Istanbul faces a grave danger as it is threatened by a potential major earthquake disaster. 6:16: 🌍 Turkey is a tectonically active region prone to earthquakes due to the natural movements of tectonic plates. 12:53: ! Geoscientists use seismic technology to investigate tectonic plate movements along the North Anatolian fault in Turkey. 18:59: 🌍 The Eurasian and Anatolian plates are locked due to friction, accumulating energy that is released in earthquakes every 250 years. 24:22: 🌍 Scientists study the tectonic processes in Turkey to understand the impending threat of earthquakes. 31:03: 🏢 The video discusses the potential risk of earthquake in Istanbul due to poor construction practices and lack of adherence to building regulations. 37:22: 🏢 Existing buildings in Istanbul are at risk of earthquake damage, but a non-invasive technology using shock absorbers could potentially protect them.

Everybody is scared and talking. About it. I think turkey did not invest in better infrastructure since 1999. They should have
