1. catastrophe, tragedy, disaster
   • 1935 November 13, “Facianın plânçosu: 24 ölü ve kayıb!”, in Cumhuriyet, Istanbul:

     Evvelki geceki İnebolu vapuru faciasının kurbanları hakkında yapılan tahkikat ve tetkikat ilk tahminlerin biraz mubalâğalı olduğunu göstermiştir.

     The investigation and examination conducted regarding the victims of the İnebolu ship disaster the night before last have shown that the initial estimates were somewhat exaggerated.
