A painful journey from Cyprus to Adıyaman, they lost their lives as a result of the collapse of the hotel where they stayed in Adıyaman, where they came for the championship.

Young athletes aged between 12 and 15 are now referred to as the "Team of Angels".

No one escaped from the Northern Cyprus middle school volleyball team of 35 people staying at the hotel.

CORE SAMPLES OUTPUT DEFECTIVE

In the investigation conducted by the Adıyaman Chief Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the demolition of the building, the Isias Hotel case was separated from the roof case prepared for all demolished buildings. The assigned expert committee examined the wreckage twice. In this process, Cypriot families also follow the judicial process closely.

A delegation of engineers and architects from Cyprus also collected core samples from the destroyed building. The result of the Cyprus report also confirmed the examinations of the Turkish side.

LOW CONCRETE QUALITY

It was determined that the concrete quality was obviously low. In addition, it was determined that stream gravel and sand were used as gravel and sand.

In the report, it was written that the concrete mix was easily dispersed even under manual control.

A cold joint application error was encountered at the points where the columns were connected to the beams.

It was noted in the report that insufficient reinforcement and the use of crossties increased the spacing of stirrups up to approximately 25 centimeters.

While ribbed reinforcement was used in some of the columns, it was observed that some of them were non-ribbed. Therefore, it was understood that the concrete was easily stripped from the reinforcement.

These observations reinforced the idea that some additions were made to the building after 1999.
