A 7.4-magnitude earthquake
strikes Istanbul and
northwestern Turkey, killing
more than 17,000 and injuring 44,000. This earthquake was the first
of a long series of unrelated but frequent earthquakes throughout
the world during the years 1999 and 2000. Some connected the
earthquake to the fact that the Umbra of the solar eclipse of August 11, was
right above Istanbul.
