Shocking moment building collapses after second 7.8 earthquake in Turkey

A second massive earthquake has hit Turkey just hours after more than 1,000 people were killed in a enormous once-in-a- century tremor of magnitude 7.8.

The devastated country had already been rocked by repeated aftershocks amid this morning's disastrous quake.

But now its been hit by a quake almost as big as the first, registering at 7.5.

Videos showed already damaged building collapsing as rescue workers fled for their lives.

Experts had already warned the death toll - which is already at more than 1,000 - could hit as high as 10,000.
