Frightening footage shows moment building collapses during earthquake aftershock in Turkey
Shocking footage posted on Twitter shows the moment a building collapses in Turkey, during the aftershock of a 7.8 magnitude earthquake.
The clip is said to have been filmed in Şanlıurfa, Turkey.
Rescuers raced on Tuesday to save survivors from the rubble of thousands of buildings brought down by the earthquake and multiple aftershocks that struck eastern Turkey and neighbouring Syria, killing more than 4,000 people.
Countries around the world dispatched teams to assist in the rescue efforts, but a day after the earthquake struck the number of emergency crews on the ground remained few, with their efforts impeded by frigid temperatures and close to 200 aftershocks, which made the search through unstable structures perilous.
