Prof. Dr. Şener Üşümezsoy stated that he had predicted the 6.1 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Sındırgı, Balıkesir, on Sunday. Highlighting the fault on the northern side of Mount Sipil in Manisa, Üşümezsoy noted that there is no fault expected to rupture in Istanbul and that a major earthquake is not anticipated in the next 100 years, saying, "I will sleep most comfortably in Istanbul."
Before the 6.2 magnitude earthquake in Istanbul that occurred on April 23, Professor Dr. Şener Üşümezsoy, who gained attention with his predictions, also predicted the 6.1 magnitude earthquake that took place in the Sındırgı district of Balıkesir on Sunday. In a statement to Show News, Üşümezsoy evaluated this earthquake and revealed the city in Turkey where one could "sleep the most comfortably."
"I PREDICTED THE EARTHQUAKE IN SINDIRGI"
Üşümezsoy stated, "The unbroken segment was Sındırgı. The earthquake that occurred there was expected. It seems that the fault in that region has lost its danger. This has been the point I have been making from the beginning. I had presented a story arising from the earthquakes in Simav here," he said.
DREW ATTENTION TO THE FAULT LINE IN MANISA
In response to the question, "Is there a fault to be afraid of?" Üşümezsoy pointed to Manisa. He said, "There is a fault on the northern edge of Sipil Mountain in Manisa, but I cannot say whether it is dangerous or not."
"THE CITY WHERE I CAN SLEEP THE MOST COMFORTABLY IS ISTANBUL"
When asked about the expected earthquake in Istanbul, Üşümezsoy replied, "I have probably said this a thousand times; I am tired of that topic. There is no fault that will break in Istanbul." He also added that the city where he could sleep the most comfortably without fear of earthquakes in Turkey is Istanbul.
"IT SEEMS IT WON'T BREAK FOR 100 YEARS"
Touching on the scenario of a possible major earthquake in Istanbul, Üşümezsoy said, "These are stories of piano breaks... That’s why it seems it won't break for 100 years."
