A deadly radiological accident occurred in Istanbul, Turkey, in December 1998 and January 1999 when two packages used to transport radioactive Cobalt 60 were sold as scrap metal.

The event exposed 18 people to radiation resulting in multiple hospitalisations and showed an entire nation the risks of radioactive materials.

Locally the horror of the fascinating incident would be known as Turkey's Chernobyl.
