[quote="Bazooka_Joe":f3faf]Crazy. They estimate up to 50,000 dead.[/quote:f3faf]

It's hard to realistically conceive just how many people that is. I find the most effective way is to think of a sporting event with a similar amount of people for reference.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that part of the world is prone to earthquakes and such, since they usually have a devastating earthquake or two in Turkey annually, or thereabouts, which isn't too far off.
