A serious accident occurred due to a ship cruising in the Körfez district, hitting three cranes on the Evyapport port. With the effect of the accident, first, there was a loud noise, and then the cranes overturned respectively. After the incident was reported to the authorities, health and fire brigades were immediately dispatched. Arriving at the scene quickly, the teams started investigating the area to find out if anyone was injured. In addition, necessary checks were made from thermal and security cameras to understand the cause of the accident in the region. The fact that there were no employees or crane operators in the vicinity at the time of the accident prevented a bigger disaster.
The accident details were obtained from the phone camera recordings of the employees. The footage shows that the ship could not stop, hit the cranes in the harbor, and overturned in this way. Another essential detail reflected in the cameras is that all the employees around were running away screaming at the time of the incident.
