The 2010 Turkey earthquake was a 5.9 Mw earthquake that occurred on 8 March 2010[1][2] at 02:32 UTC. The epicentre of the quake was Başyurt in Elâzığ province. According to global news channels, at least 57 people were killed. Another 100 or more have been hospitalised, many after falling and jumping from buildings during the quake.[2][3] A stampede through the streets led to further injuries.[4] The death toll is continuing to rise.[5]
Many people used vehicles and taxis to drive to hospital.[6] Most were asleep at the time the quake struck,[6] with four sleeping sisters perishing in one house.[7][8] Farm animals were also killed,[6] and minarets fell down.[7]
According to officials, most of the deaths occurred in three villages: Okçular, Yukarı Kanatlı and Kayalı.[2] At least five villages, though, suffered loss of life.[6][9] Villagers fled buildings, spending the night outside and lighting fires in the streets for warmth.[6]
The earthquake came one week to the day after the Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers sent a report to parliament detailing inadequate building projects and the possibility that Istanbul would be destroyed by an earthquake, which could kill tens of thousands of people, at some point in the next three decades.[10]
My condolences towards the victims and to the Turkish nation.
Stirling Moss is recovering in hospital from serious injuries he suffered in a lift accident at his home over the weekend.
The racing legend fell down three floors of a lift shaft following a malfunction with the lift doors – when they opened on the third floor while the lift was still a floor further up.
Moss broke both ankles and four bones in his feet, plus suffered further damage to his vertebrae, in the fall. Luckily he did not suffer any internal injuries.
Following the accident, Moss was admitted to the London Hospital and then later moved to the Princess Grace Hospital, following the intervention of Professor Sid Watkins. Doctors hope he can be moved out of intensive care later on Monday, and his life is not in danger.
Despite the severity of his injuries, his wife Lady Moss reports him to be in high spirits
hope all is well for Sir Moss.
