Security camera footage of the deadly explosion in Çorlu, Tekirdağ has emerged

Developments regarding the apartment explosion in Tekirdağ's Çorlu district, which resulted in tragic consequences, were recorded by a security camera placed near the scene. The explosion, which occurred on the top floor of the 6-story apartment building located in the Hıdırağa Mahallesi Borsa Meydanı area, was recorded second by second thanks to the camera angles of surrounding businesses. In these images, it was clearly observed that a great panic occurred in the vicinity due to the intense sound caused by the explosion, and people were seen running to save their lives.

In the recorded security camera footage, the building was seen shaking immediately after the explosion, and the flames rising from the building and the dense smoke spreading towards the sky were seen in detail. It was determined that the citizens near the scene at the time of the incident tried to understand what was happening due to the shock and then hurriedly moved away from the scene with great agitation. The severe sound waves and visual scene caused by the explosion created deep fear and anxiety among the people in the region.

Upon receiving news of the incident, a large number of teams were dispatched to the area to launch a large-scale intervention, and upon notification, many health, fire, police, and AFAD teams were dispatched to the scene to perform first intervention and cooling works.
