A disaster waiting to happen: Istanbul and the danger of an earthquake
5 Min., 3Sat - Nano, 10.08.2009
The North Anatolian fault, one of the most active seismic zones in the world, runs within a few miles of Istanbul under the Sea of Marmara. Since the disastrous Erzincan earthquake in December 1939 in eastern Turkey, there have been six earthquakes along the fault with a magnitude greater than seven points, all progressing from east to west. The most recent, in 1999, was less than 60 miles east of Istanbul.
