  Büşra hanım would have done well reporting on the Titanic.

At about 1630 on Sunday evening a fire broke out in a wooded area
of Kayışdağı in Istanbul's Maltepe district.  Reporters rushed to the
scene along with fire brigades and the Turkish Radio & TV (TRT)
crew set up a live shot.


                                     "Look out below!"

Meanwhile, the firefighters called in a helicopter to unload water on
the fire.  TRT reporter Büşra Çelik saw the approaching helicopter
but would not leave her post and, consequently, she was drenched
by the tons of falling water, together with cameraman Hayrettin
Kavi. (!)  All of this was witnessed by viewers as the TRT heroes
pressed on until the end of their report.


Büşra hanım and Hayrettin bey have joined a very exclusive
club.



Kayışdağı Ormanı (forest) is near the Sea of Marmara coast 
on the Anatolian side of Istanbul.
