A Tragic Disaster at Kartalkaya: Expert Report Reveals Shocking Details
The devastating Kartalkaya disaster, which claimed the lives of 78 individuals, shook Türkiye to its core. The aftermath of the tragedy has left a scar on the nation, with many questions unanswered. However, a recent expert report has shed light on the events leading up to the heartbreaking incident.
According to the report, the smoke rising from the Grand Kartal Hotel on the night of January 21 could have been prevented from spreading, and the hotel could have been evacuated in time to save lives. The details of the report are alarming and point to several critical errors that contributed to the disaster.
One of the key findings in the report suggests that instead of focusing on evacuating people, the staff prioritized evacuating vehicles. Camera records indicate that staff members opened an electric parking door, inadvertently fueling the fire and hindering evacuation efforts. This crucial mistake exacerbated the situation and led to tragic consequences.
Eyewitness accounts from survivors also support the claim that the staff’s actions worsened the situation. Müge Karataşlı, who lost her brother in the fire, expressed her disbelief at the lack of warning from hotel managers, implying a sense of neglect and betrayal. The report also highlights deficiencies in the hotel’s infrastructure, including inadequate fire safety measures and personnel training.
In response to the disaster, a group of individuals affected by the tragedy have formed a platform called ‘We Yokimiz Yokız’ and will be holding a commemoration ceremony in front of the hotel. This solemn event will honor the memory of those who lost their lives in the devastating Kartalkaya fire.
As the nation grapples with the aftermath of this tragic incident, it is crucial to learn from these mistakes and ensure that such a disaster never happens again. The findings of the expert report underscore the importance of proper training, safety protocols, and quick action in the face of emergencies. May the victims of the Kartalkaya disaster rest in peace, and may their memories be a reminder of the need for vigilance and caution in all situations.
