Some people who found themselves under the rubble of buildings destroyed by a powerful earthquake in Turkey on February 6 managed to be saved thanks to posts and videos on social networks. While under the rubble, people reported their location on WhatsApp, Instagram and Twitter, writes Aljazeera. One of those who managed to be saved was Firat Yaila. The guy is a well-known blogger who makes video reviews for YouTube. He posted a 20-second video on his Instagram with a call for help. The video was shared by a Twitter user. From under the wreckage, 20-year-old student Boran Kubat also recorded and posted a video asking for help, writes The Guardian. “Anyone who sees this, please come and help us,” said Kubat. Rescuers managed to find the boy and his family after he gave them their exact location. Another victim, Jan Türker, singled out government officials in a post about help. On his Twitter, the man wrote that he and his wife and children are under rubble at the Liwan Hotel in Antakya. “The stairs have collapsed, we are stuck on the third floor. Please help,” he wrote. The next day, the man reported on Twitter that he was rescued by friends without the help of rescuers. It will be recalled that the number of people killed in earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has exceeded 20 thousand. Read also: Maxar showed the city affected by the earthquake in Turkey
