A devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Thailand and Burma on Friday, resulting in the collapse of buildings and claiming the lives of over 150 individuals across both nations.

Incredible footage from Bangkok revealed a 33-story apartment building that was under construction tumbling down, with dust and debris dispersing through the city’s streets. Authorities in Bangkok reported that 10 people lost their lives, 16 sustained injuries, and 101 are missing from three construction sites, including the high-rise building.

Over 144 fatalities occurred in Burma, where images and video footage from two severely affected cities displayed significant destruction. The earthquake’s epicenter was located in central Burma, and it reportedly caused aftershocks in India and China. 

One aftershock was reported to have been 6.4 magnitude, according to the United States Geological Survey. People in Bangkok that were evacuated from their buildings were cautioned to stay outside in case there were more.

The U.S. Geological Survey and Germany’s GFZ center for geosciences said the earthquake was a shallow 6.2 miles, with an epicenter in central Burma, according to preliminary reports.

Water from high-rise rooftop pools in Bangkok sloshed over the side as they shook, and debris fell from many buildings.

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra called an emergency meeting to assess the impact of the quake, which Thailand’s Department of Disaster Prevention said was felt in almost all regions of the country.

In Mandalay, Burma’s second-largest city and close to the epicenter, the earthquake damaged part of the former royal palace and buildings, according to videos and photos released on Facebook social media.

In the Sagaing region just southwest of Mandalay, a 90-year-old bridge collapsed, and some sections of the highway connecting Mandalay and the city of Yangon were also damaged.

In the capital Naypyitaw, the quake damaged religious shrines, sending parts toppling to the ground, and some homes.
