HOPE AND WORK TOGETHER
“As the works continued, a sound was said to have been heard from the Doğanlar apartment around 03:00. We started working here. We found a void in the rubble in the first 30 minutes. We step into the void and listen to the sound. There was a noise inside, there was a click. We coordinate with the Istanbul Fire Department. All members of our team worked on the rubble at 15-20 minute intervals. Seher Hanım’s wife, who was under the rubble, was describing her house to us. First we find the sofa in his house, then the furniture and finally the console. Ms. Seher was alive under the rubble with her children.

We worked 10 hours under the rubble. We finally managed to reach them. The most important rule of thumb for surviving under debris is to never let go. Do not despair. If hope and work come together, rescue efforts can be made. Here too, hope and work were together. “

He said he communicated with his children. He always tried to give them morale. ‘Everything will be fine. We will go to the hospital soon. Your father is waiting for us outside. We will go with him, ‘he said. We were able to locate them after 10 hours. When we were going to rotate, we would leave the tunnel and leave our place to our friends. I was informing Ms. Seher of all these changes. He said that a new team would start working and that we would contact him. He was addressing us as ‘Brother Cem, İbrahim Abi’. We were very close in the last 3-4 hours of our study. Ezel, one of the twins, was in very good condition. He told us about distance education.
