[The buildings] moved

Earthquake witness
“It was very disorienting,” John
Augsburger, a structural engineer
from Harrisonburg, Va., who was
in Golcuk at the time of the after
shock, said. “We were right next to
a building. It moved so much, it
looked like rubber. ”
Most of the injured suffered
broken bones jumping from build
ings in hopes of reaching safety
on the street.
Isa Ersozer was in a second-
floor barbershop in Izmit when the
building began to shake.
“The stairs were full of people
trying to get out, so I just jumped,”
he said, sitting in a wheelchair in a
field hospital, his foot covered in
bandages.
Throughout the town, people
rushed to hospitals, desperate for
news about their loved ones.
Three people were killed in
nearby Kocaeli when a building fell
on their car, Istanbul Deputy Gov
ernor Ali Cafer Akyuz said. Anoth
er three were killed in that town

Yeltsin ordered tight security at airports, nuclear
power stations, oil pipelines and other possible tar
gets across the country. He gave Moscow Mayor Yuri
Luzhkov 24 hours to have all 30,000 residential build
ings in the city searched for explosives.
Luzkhov said crowded areas such as markets and
public transportation vehicles would be patrolled
more tightly and hinted that the capital’s “guests,” or
travelers — especially those not registered with the
police — could be evicted.
He linked the two latest blasts to fighting in the south
ern region of Dagestan, where government troops are
battling Islamic rebels who have occupied several vil
lages. Interior Minister Vladimir Rushailo said the ex
plosions were linked to two warlords in Chechnya who
are leading the offensive in Dagestan: Shamil Basayev
and Khattab, a Jordanian who goes by one name.
Sixty-two families, or 150 people, were registered
as living in the building that blew up just before dawn
yesterday, but police said there were no estimates of
how many were home at the time.
The entire building crashed to the ground, its beige
bricks crushed to rubble and dust. The building was
located in a quiet residential area, close to a school
and two kindergartens,'just four miles from the site of
Thursday’s blast.
