This is how the hotel managers fled during the Kartalkaya fire: Checking the corridor

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.
