Calgary's Sam Adekugbe shaken by scene after surviving Turkey quakes yyc
When daylight arrived, the near-impossible task to try and help people search for missing loved ones began for Adekugbe and Hatayspor teammates — some displaced themselves by the quakes.
People walk past a building affected by an earthquake in Antakya, Hatay Province, Turkey February 7, 2023.“The situation of Christian Atsu, who was at my house earlier that night, is still unknown,” said Adekugbe, referring to Tuesday’s social media reports that he had been pulled out alive from the ruins. “They said he was found, but nobody has heard from him. So no one is really sure.
“Of course, I’m thankful that a lot of my teammates have been found. But the people that do help the team and work around the club, they still have loved ones that are missing and unaccounted for. Really, it starts to hit home when you see the agony and desperation on their faces. And also living in a place where it’s not a super economic power, they were already coming from difficult places. And with everything taken away from them, it’s unfathomable just how much more difficult it is.
