Earthquake in Turkey!

There was a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Turkey, rescue teams rush to save people from falling buildings and fires. 265 people died and 1,140 were injured in this massive earthquake that made 2,400 rescue workers, 680 medics, 12 rescue dogs, 108 ambulances - including seven air ambulances. There have been many earthquakes like this before in Turkey, Tens of thousands have been sleeping outside in freezing conditions. Turkey is very vulnerable to many earthquakes in the past and now.

If people keep living in Turkey they will probably be dead anytime soon. My opinion is that this is a very uncontrollable disaster, it would be better if people in Turkey just move out of their country if they want to live any longer. I found this information at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/, it is a top story today.
