When the retaining wall collapsed in the building site next door, the subsiding earth left a large gap under the building ..... well, NATURE AND GRAVITY WON, and the building collapsed.
Beyoğlu Mayor Ahmet Misbah Demircan told reporters that the building was built illegally in 1994 and it had no construction license or occupancy permit and had problems with its foundation. It is unclear why authorities did not take action on the building to this date, but such instances are common in Istanbul and other cities throughout Turkey.
