I wanted to make a post about the earthquake that will eventually occur in İstanbul. Cağrı Abi did a video on this and summarised every possible thing that will happen in the intro.
I will only tell you the potential results here.
Within a few minutes, thousands of hospitals, factories, workplaces, houses, and skyscrapers will collapse in İstanbul. Buildings that were damaged in the first quake but still standing will collapse from the aftershocks that will come within just a few hours or days later. A total of 700k buildings will collapse in the city. 200k buildings will be declared as unusable. 2M people will be homeless. Bridges, tunnels, overpasses, and underpasses will be heavily damaged, some will collapse, and many will become unusable.
It's not just the earthquake. If the earthquake causes a slide under the Marmara Sea, tsunami waves will swallow the citizens living near the sea coast who won't be able to escape.
Of course, the earthquake will also bring a row of problems. For example, water and sewage pipes will burst throughout the city, and leaks will carry dangerous diseases to the people under the rubble and will spread to the surrounding areas. Due to gas leaks and open flames existed during the earthquake, fires will start in thousands of places, which will cause additional deaths and injuries. Many districts of İstanbul won't have electricity for days. The possible electricity won't be stable. Of course, the telecommunication companies that let us down everything won't be able to overcome such an earthquake. People won't be able to reach out to their loved ones for days. The coordination of rescue teams and operations won't be sufficient.
Those last standing hospitals will be overcrowded to the point that they won't be able to get off tail. Therefore, the injured will have to be transported to distant provinces. There will be agglomerations in these provinces.
After everything, we will have 100k dead 1.5M injured, which 200k is critical.
This chaos will, of course, suit some rutterkins. Theft, looting and gangbanging rates will rise to top throughout İstanbul. Since the police and the army will be heavily involved in rescue processes, security breaches will accur in many places.
The possible socioeconomic destruction that will accur afterwards is unemployment, health problems and mental problems will reach to a indigestible point. The mass migration out of İstanbul after the earthquake will cause very serious socioeconomic changes in the other provinces of Turkey.
Factories, refineries, chemical production companies, warehouses will become inaccessible. Both dangerous leaks will accur in those places and companies won't be able to do any business. Millions of people will be unemployed in Turkey overnight. Fires in industrial areas won't able to be extinguished for weeks.
Repairing those collapsed buildings will cost billions of dollars. Due to direct and indirect damages, Turkey will suddenly experience a financial loss over 250 to 300 million dollars.
As you can see, when this unexpected earthquake occurs, not only the Turkish history will be affected. We will also experience one of the most disastrous natural disasters in the entire history of the world.
