Eyewitness Reports - WHEN KILLER QUAKES STRIKE! - Charles V Dorothy & Frank Schnee - September 1967

Charles V Dorothy & Frank Schnee

Our German Plain Truth Correspondent toured northwest Turkey on the second day after the giant killer quake struck there. One week later the Dean of the Faculty of our Texas campus and Head of the Spanish Department toured the devastated region around Caracas, Venezuela. They bring you reports from eyewitnesses of the utter devastation at the epicenters of the quakes. Adapazari, Turkey. The Turks living along both sides of the great Anatolian earthquake fault were completely at ease. Some were peacefully resting, after a hot Mediterranean day, in the evening breezes sipping tea. Others were doing the weekend marketing. No one suspected the calm would suddenly be broken. A roaring rumble broke the peace. The earth beneath shook with a fierce and deadly anger. The first giant temblor, which registered more than 7 on the Richter scale, occurred about 7 p.m. Saturday, July 22. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
