Terrifying confession from former employee of the kebab shop regarding the collapsed building in Küçükçekmece: It used to tremble even when a truck passed by.

In the morning hours, a 3-story building collapsed in Küçükçekmece, Istanbul. Oğuz Bozkurt, who previously worked as a courier in the cafe on the ground floor of the building, said, "The building was very old. Even when a truck passed by, the building would shake, I could feel it. There was a renovation when the shop opened. I was there during the renovation, there was no column cutting."

As the investigation into the collapse of the 3-story building in Kartaltepe neighborhood of Küçükçekmece, where 1 person died and 8 people were rescued injured, continues, the number of detainees has risen to 2. Oğuz Bozkurt, who used to work as a courier in the cafe in the building, used chilling expressions about the building.

"THE BUILDING WOULD SHAKE EVEN WHEN A TRUCK PASSED BY"

Oğuz Bozkurt, a former employee of the cafe on the ground floor of the collapsed 3-story building, said, "I used to work there as a courier, and I was also there during the opening. The building was very old. Even when I was working there, the building would shake when a truck passed by, I could feel it. There was a renovation when the shop opened. The building was already old. There was no column cutting during the renovation. But there was a slight renovation in the wall part for the sink. At that time, the sand, gravel, and stones were very old. I saw this with my own eyes. That's why the building couldn't withstand anymore. It was a big problem that a building that would shake even when a truck passed by was not inspected or sampled after the earthquake."

"OTHER BUILDINGS ARE ALSO RISKY"

Bozkurt stated that the other buildings next to the collapsed building are also risky, saying, "There shouldn't be any more loss of life. These buildings need to be inspected as soon as possible. There are buildings that have been there since 1972. There weren't many people in the building. Some are moving out, and the shop was already closed. Hopefully, there won't be any loss of life among the injured. The building owner has been talked to about this issue, but no one has done anything."
