Answer:
On 17 August 1999, an earthquake in northwestern Turkey killed around 17,000 people and left more than 250,000 people homeless. The event lasted for 37 seconds, severely damaging the city of İzmit. More than 17,000 people were killed and an estimated 500,000 left homeless as thousands of buildings—chief among them the Turkish navy headquarters in Gölcük and the Tüpraş oil refinery in İzmit—collapsed or were heavily damaged. At least 25 people were killed in both countries and more than 700 people were injured as the quake caused a mini-tsunami and several buildings to collapse. The earthquake struck in the Aegean Sea, rattling areas of western Turkey and several eastern Greek islands, as well as the capital, Athens.
