The trial regarding the Kartalkaya Grand Kartal Hotel tragedy continues in Bolu for its 8th day. Emir Aras, the General Manager of the Grand Kartal Hotel and son-in-law of Halit Ergül, Chairman of the Board of Grand Kartal A.Ş., who testified before the judge the other day, had stated, "At 03:32, my wife said, 'There are noises coming from outside.'
I opened the door because I was curious about what was happening outside, and smoke was coming from across the hall. Then the phone rang again. At that moment, I told my wife, 'Run and get our daughter, I think there is a fire.'" New security camera footage of those moments has now emerged.
