Zeki Soysal, an eyewitness in the Turkish city of Izmir, said he threw himself out of a building as the earthquake hit. “I threw myself outside in [the] last second, my building collapsed,” he told CNN Turk Friday. Soysal added: “There was an older woman in the building but we saved her, she got out. There is another building close to this building, they are continuing to try to get the people out.” The earthquake has caused damage on the Greek island of Samos in the Aegean sea.
