Hi, robomatic. I've been watching YouTubes, and it seems obvious that many builders ignored earthquake-safety codes while government did nothing. And it's not just me. There are videos showing Turkish commentators saying the same.

When you see video after video where a building seems to collapse instantaneously under its own weight while neighboring buildings stand firm, it seems likely that "something was rotten in Denmark." As far as I can tell, there is no active quaking occurring when such buildings collapse.
