The sheer power of the earthquakes in Turkey turned an olive grove into a huge canyon, drone footage shows.
Drone footage released Wednesday showed how the grove, in the small town of Tepehan in rural eastern Turkey, is now bisected by a valley that wasn’t there just days ago.
The new pictures illustrate just how intense the tremors were, to have forever altered this ancient landscape.The transformation is so large that it is attracting families from nearby villages who are coming to peer over the newly formed cliffs, some of which are still crumbling, freshly exposed rock crashing to the canyon floor.
In Adiyaman province, a daring and delicate rescue operation saved 18-year-old Muhammed Cafer Cetin. Medics gave him an IV with fluids before rescuers removed him from a building that was falling down around them. Turkish TV footage showed him wearing a neck brace and an oxygen mask as he was taken away for treatment.Oguz Yeter / Anadolu Agency via Getty Images
