Sarıyer'de Sağanak Dehşeti: Otobüs Akıntıya Kapıldı, Araçlar Sular Altında Kaldı
Severe Flash Floods Strike Sarıyer: Bus Swept Away and Vehicles Submerged
Heavy rainfall that intensified during the evening hours in Istanbul led to alarming scenes in the Ayazağa neighborhood of Sarıyer. Rapidly rising floodwaters turned streets and avenues into rivers, leaving dozens of vehicles almost entirely submerged.
An IETT public bus travelling through the district was caught in the strong current and dragged along the street. Trapped passengers and motorists were forced to climb onto the roofs of their vehicles to escape the rising waters. Emergency response teams, including firefighters and AFAD (Disaster and Emergency Management Authority), along with local bystanders, swiftly intervened to rescue those stranded and bring them to safety
