NURDAGI, Turkey - Hasan Kilic still visits what remains of the building where he lost nearly everyone - his wife, his parents, a brother and two of his three sons. He was there in April, still in pain from injuries that had kept him in intensive care for weeks after the earthquakes. He was back last month, his body healed some, but his gaze hollow as he reflected on all that he and this town had suffered.
In what seemed to him like an instant, an estimated 5,000 people in the town and surrounding villages were killed, and "Nurdagi was turned into nothing," Kilic said.
