Reconnaissance Visit to Van Earthquake (23 Oct 2011, Mw7.3)Prone area, Day-2
Day 2: Friday: 18 Nov. 2011:
2nd day in Van, We visited different districts of Van, a Semi-demilished mosque (Hz. Omer Jamii) and the main Square of Van (Cumhuriyet Meydani).
Van itself suffered from the 23 oct 2011 and nov 9 aftershock (they call it as 2nd earthquake, because it was the second destructive earthquake). There are mostly 5/6 story buldings in the city center and most demolished buildings are such type of structures. There might be an important site effect, as the case of the damages.
We will try to visit the area in the north of Van this afternoon in order to visit possible surface ruptures.
