Why on earth did the Mail Online use old stock photos of a previous earthquake in the City of Mugla to illustrate the event which took place yesterday, some 100 kilometers away?
Has anyone seen damage to buildings etc caused by yesterdays quake that is anything like as serious as shown in the Mail photos? I suspect not. Even the photo of the man being delivered to hospital on a stretcher was taken in Mugla City.
The whole report was deliberately sensationalised by the use of these pictures. Anybody reading the report who was not familiar with the difference between Mugla as in province and Mugla as in City would probably be shocked ( no pun intended ). Indeed my family in the UK who had seen the Mail Online article were frantically contacting me to see if I was OK, and it took some time to reassure them that things were not as bad as the report was designed to suggest. So much for the integrity of the Mail.
