Dr Malcolm Russell says scenes in Turkey far exceed those of disaster movies.
Dr Russell has been to other quake zones on rescue missions including Christchurch, New Zealand, and Japan, both in 2011."Collapsed buildings, one after the other across an entire city, sirens going literally 24/7, fires burning, dust everywhere."Dr Russell said no disaster movie could compare to the devastation he saw with his team after the deadly earthquakes
As well as helping the man from the rubble, the team also rescued a man and a woman from a collapsed hotel. "The lady came out first, the gentleman had a beam across his legs and we had to spend about five hours breaking it up to release him," Dr Russell said.One of the people rescued by the team has since contacted Dr Russell on Twitter to thank him.
"It's great to have a message like that but we don't see it in those terms of heroics," he told BBC Breakfast, having returned to the UK.Follow BBC West Midlands on
