Every day some people are killed while
they are crossing the roads. Most of these people are old and children. Old
people are often killed because they can’t see or hear very well. Children are
killed because they are not careful. They forget to look and listen before they
cross the roads. A car or a bus can’t stop quickly. If a car is going very fast, it will travel many meters before it stops. Some people don’t always understand this. They think a car can stop in a few meters. It is difficult to know how fast a car is moving. The only way to cross the roads safely is to look both ways, right and left. Then if the roads are empty, you can cross them. |

At least 50 villages have been destroyed, Landslides(塌方) and mud are so bad in some places that rescuers can get through only in foot. A BBC correspondent in Ankara says that the large numbered of those killed were women and children. Most of the men were already at work in the fields when the tremor(震动) struck. He says the mud-brick construction of many of the houses contributed to the devastation (破坏). Most of the concrete buildings in the region remain intact(未受损失的).
