I honestly feel ashamed for forgetting how horrifically high the death toll was for Turkey, And it was only 3 years ago.

The data for Denmark is wrong. We had a 4.6 earthquake once, and there were reports of an older cat dying as a result of it. Or from old age – it was an inconclusive investigation.
Bottom line is that there were lives lost! A cat has 9 lives, so it adds of kinda fast as well with feline casualties.

Its actually much higher for Turkey, they basically stopped counting after 53k. Phone operators/banks and other institutions claim 100 000-150 000 people died.

This should be the consensus map for europe, all these countries and regions
L’Aquila earthquake in Italy, 309 deaths. It’s incredible to think that the Messina earthquake a century earlier caused 80,000.

It is customary to have at least one major earthquake in Anatolian tectonic plate once in every decade. Turkey lost hundred of thousands to millions to earthquakes since 1923. And much, much more before that.

For Italy that is quite tame, the deadliest earthquake in our history is the 1908 Earthquake of Messina with 7.1 on the Richter’s scale, it’s estimated 140k people died and the President at the time denied the fact it happened minimizing it saying it was us southerners being exaggerated.

The deadliest earthquake for swedes was the one that caused a tsunami in the indian ocean 26/12 2004. 542 swedes died. I guess it is the hardest on Germany( and many most other nations in Europe.
