Dauntless "Crazy Turk" Road Warriors
In the aftermath of the 6 February earthquake, brothers Kaan and
Batuhan Türkiyeli of Tokat loaded up their TIR (tractor-trailer), plate
number 42 ALG 703, with shovels, water, wood and foodstuffs, and
headed out toward the disaster zone on 8 February. En route, two of
their TIR's tires blew out but they decided to press on and (somehow)
reached Adıyaman in 17 hours, becoming famous on social media as
"Crazy Turks". (!)
Kaan bey (39) explained that their TIR weighed 25 tons and that "118
kilometers from Golbaşı, Adıyaman, our first tire blew out and then
the second one blew out 70 kilometers away. Thanks to God, we
reached our destination safely in 17 hours. We knew that our cause was
a just one. Normally, when you get a flat tire you pull over to the side
of the road and wait. God was watching over us and we did not relent."
Meanwhile, in Antakya, an architectural wonder was born...
with its rooftop birdhouse still intact.
