On camera: CCTV footage shows building crumbling when 7.8 magnitude quake hit Turkey city

CCTV footage released by the Diyarbakir police department showed the moments the 7.8 earthquake hit the city a week ago.

Footage showed buildings crumbling down as lamp posts and electrical signs shook and some power lines exploded.

People flooded to the street, escaping from the cloud of dust released from the collapsed buildings.

Rescue crews continued to pull some people from wreckage of collapsed buildings but reports of rescues are coming less often as the time since the quake reaches the limits of the human body's ability to survive without water, especially in sub-freezing temperatures.

The magnitude 7.8 and 7.5 quakes struck nine hours apart in southeastern Turkey and northern Syria on Feb. 6.

They killed at least 33,185, with the toll expected to rise considerably as search teams find more bodies, and reduced much of towns and cities inhabited by millions to fragments of concrete and twisted metal.
