good advice. I have to withdraw from watching .Try not to watch any videos! I still can't forget the ones from the great 1999 Izmit earthquake.
There is no reason that you should feel sorry for bringing this information to us. It's one of the reasons why so many of us use FSU is that we get these perspectives from other parts of the world.I'm sorry, I know you have other things to do than read about a day in our lives.
Please keep us posted. Turkey and Syria are in my prayers.Many thanks to everyone for your support.
Don't apologize. This should matter to everyone, for a number of reasons. I hope the people who used it to organize can find other ways.Twitter has been limited in Turkey. Hundreds of thousands of people were using it to organise the aid that isn't coming from the government and to find and rescue family members, including lost children. OTOH many tweets criticise the immobility of the government.
Two journalists are under investigation and an academic is in custody because of their coverage of the earthquake critical of the government.

Of course the restrictions on Twitter in Turkey originate from our own government.Thank you for sharing this.
Yes, my friend explained it to me years ago when my grandmother fell with the deck door open and was still alive 7 or so hours later even though temperatures were near freezing. The drop in body temperature slows down the blood circulation so that fewer oxygen is needed and breathing becomes shallower. If memory serves, it is essentially a function that only serves the purpose of staying alive, so I have no idea what that means for the brain and what the chances of survival are after so many days once the person gets warmed up again.People are still being found alive in the rubble. Apparently the cold - which we had thought was a disadvantage for survival - has been a blessing because it puts the metabolism of injured people in a sort of hibernating state.
