The tremor started slowly at first, then everything went completely dark. This is how Kemal Ate\u015f remembers the first moments of that great disaster. When he regained his consciousness, he first called out to his parents. Not knowing that the earthquake had taken his family away from him. Ate\u015f described his helplessness, saying, \u2018I realized that they were gone when I did not hear their voices, but I couldn\u2019t do anything\u2019. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<iframe title=\"Aylar Sonra Kendisini Kurtaran Ekiple Bulu\u015ftu\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qT2DCZQ-p6Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\r\n<\/div><\/figure>\r\n\n<p>Kemal Ate\u015f\u2019s left side down from his waist was trapped under a heavy concrete block. He could not move. ASAM Canine Search and Rescue Team, which was one of the first search and rescue teams to take rapid action in the early moments of the earthquake and reach Hatay, crossed paths with him 24 hours later. He described the situation he was in as follows: \u2018It was so dark that I couldn\u2019t tell whether my eyes were open or closed\u2019. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/sgdd.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC04563-6ad35_comp-1024x577.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sgdd.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC04563-6ad35_comp-1024x577.webp 1024w, https:\/\/sgdd.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC04563-6ad35_comp-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/sgdd.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC04563-6ad35_comp-768x433.webp 768w, https:\/\/sgdd.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC04563-6ad35_comp-1536x866.webp 1536w, https:\/\/sgdd.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC04563-6ad35_comp-2048x1154.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kemal Ate\u015f met with the ASAM Search and Rescue Team.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>It took several hours to get Kemal Ate\u015f out of his trapped position. He was seriously injured when he was pulled out, so he was rushed to the hospital. He is still undergoing treatment. He receives physiotherapy 5 days a week. And he was at the hospital, undergoing treatment, when he felt the urge to connect with the team that had rescued him. Once Kemal Ate\u015f\u2019s medical situation improved and he arrived from Istanbul to Ankara, the first thing he said was \u2018I don\u2019t remember much about the moment of my rescue, but the voices of the team members are still in my mind. Today, it was those voices already etched in my mind that helped me recognize the members of the team\u2019. <\/p>\n\n<p>Kemal Ate\u015f reunited with Orhan H\u0131n\u00e7al, the leader of the team that rescued him, and the team members Murat Polat, Sava\u015f Erdem and Mert Yoleri at ASAM&#8217;s headquarters in Ankara after 5 and a half months. And here is the photo marking that unforgettable moment.
