Happy photos remain from the houses turned into ruins.

The catastrophe of the century left behind many painful stories. In the photographs left under the wreckage, the memories of the old, happy days.

Those memories are preserved around the rubble in the hope that their relatives will find them.

The workers who carried out the debris removal work followed a different path so that the memories of those who lost their lives would not be destroyed. Many memorabilia, from the photo taken to the report card, were hung on the tree and wall bases in the surrounding area.

In the memories, there is a photo taken by two friends during the epidemic, the moment when a child takes his first steps. In the heartbreaking frames, everyone is alive, the whole family is together.

All these memories alleviate the pain of the relatives of those who want to find the memories of those who lost their lives.

Days later, those who went to the wreck experience emotional moments when they see the photos of their relatives.
