Most of the collapsed building are fairly modern while ancient Mosques and even Minarettes stayed standing. In one town a building construction boss just managed to avoid a lynch mob who accused him of shoddy work practices-an accusation also being made by the Turkish media.<P>The death toll this morning was about 7000. There is little chance of finding many more survivors after this length of time although rescue efforts will be continuing over the weekend. The projected death toll could now be a high as 20-30,000.<P>The city of Bursa sits almost directly on a major fault line which seismologists had been predicting for many years was becoming unstable. Unfortunately they could only predict that a major earthquake was likely within the next decade.
