People had been working both at the top and at the bottom of the wall, but the workers added the ominous sound had given them time to escape what could have been a deadly incident.

“We looked up and realised the wall was collapsing. The air was full of dust and then there was a landslide."
The shocking collapse of the wall has been blamed on two days of heavy rain which softened the ground under the wall.
Turkish authorities are said to be investigating the incident.
