A friend sent me this article on the #TurkeyEarthquake knowing of my #envhist research on #earthquakes. I got all excited by the title but what a bad piece…
All about geology, not a word on building codes, the war, infrastructural neglect, and other factors that are decades in the making and might explain the #disaster. The author should attend my course on #disasters! 😂
