Earthquake expert Prof. Dr. Şener Üşümezsoy, who made statements regarding the consecutive earthquakes in Istanbul, said, "Since the faults in the Sea of Marmara have already broken, there is no longer a risk of a major earthquake."
While this statement by Üşümezsoy drew reactions from some segments, Prof. Dr. Celal Şengör responded to these words.
When Fatih Altaylı reminded him of Şener Üşümezsoy's comments, Şengör gave the following response:
"What data is he basing this on? He has no studies on this subject...
This earthquake has reduced the expected 7.5 magnitude major earthquake to 7.2. It is coming.
From this point on, no preparations can be made. FINITO."
