With an epicenter just to the east of Simav, it occurred at an estimated depth of 9.1 kilometers (5.7 mi), resulting in strong shaking in much of Kütahya. Many locals panicked and power was lost to most of Simav. A hospital in Simav reported an unknown number of injuries, and some buildings sustained damage. An elderly woman in İnegöl suffered a heart attack in the immediate aftermath of the tremor, and was later confirmed dead. In Simav, one person was killed after being struck by a concrete block. More than 450 weak aftershocks followed; the strongest registered at a magnitude of 4.6.http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/5030494/Moderate-quake-jolts-western-Turkey Associated Press Stuff New Zealand 2011-05-20 2011-05-20 Dozens injured, three dead in Turkey quake Earthquake The magnitude 5.8 (w y) earthquake occurred inland on 19 May 2011 at 20:15 UTC at a depth of 9.1 km (5.7 mi), as a result of shallow intraplate faulting in an area of north–south tectonic extension about 80 km (50 mi) west-southwest of Kütahya city. High levels of seismic activity have been registered in the region; historically, it has been home to many destructive earthquakes. Preliminary analysis suggested the quake was triggered by a slip on an east–west trending normal fault.https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usc0003j4a.php#summary Magnitude 5.8 – Western Turkey; Tectonic Summary United States Geological Survey 2011-05-19 2011-05-19 https://web.archive.org/web/20110524231929/http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usc0003j4a.php 24 May 2011 dead National seismologists identified the fault as the active Simav fault, which has previously generated earthquakes of similar intensities. Due to its magnitude, the quake was believed to have caused a surface rupture near the epicenter.http://www.bugun.com.tr/haber-detay/155321-interstitial-haberi.aspx Kütahya'da 5.9 şiddetinde deprem haberi 2011-05-19 2011-05-19 ÇOMÜ Bugün Gazetesi tr https://web.archive.org/web/20110522075507/http://www.bugun.com.tr/haber-detay/155321-interstitial-haberi.aspx 2011-05-22 dead Initial estimates from the United States Geological Survey placed the magnitude at 6.0 (Mw), though this – as well as its focal depth – was revised shortly after.http://english.cri.cn/6966/2011/05/20/2321s638476.htm https://archive.today/20120709072805/http://english.cri.cn/6966/2011/05/20/2321s638476.htm dead July 9, 2012 6.0-magnitude quake hits western Turkey: USGS 2011-05-19 Zheng (Xinhua) CriEnglish.com Concurrently, the quake was assigned a preliminary magnitude of 5.9 (ML) by the Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute.http://www.koeri.boun.edu.tr/sismo/map/tr/20110519231522.html SİMAV (KÜTAHYA) 19.05.2011 23:15:22 Kandilli Observatory 2011-05-19 2011-05-20 tr https://web.archive.org/web/20130525145046/http://www.koeri.boun.edu.tr/sismo/map/tr/20110519231522.html 2013-05-25 dead Intensity thumb|USGS ShakeMap for the event Owing to the shallow depth, powerful shaking was reported in many areas around the epicenter.
