7.7-Magnitude Earthquake Devastates Southeast Asia: 154 Dead, Exclusive Footage
When and Where Did the Quake Strike?
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported the quake hit at 12:50 p.m. local time (1:50 a.m. ET) northwest of Sagaing, Myanmar, just 10 miles from Mandalay, the nation’s cultural hub. The shallow depth of 6 miles intensified the shaking, with severe damage concentrated along a 125-mile corridor through Mandalay. A powerful aftershock rattled the region 12 minutes later, compounding the chaos.
Extent of Destruction
Myanmar’s government declared a state of emergency in six regions, including Mandalay and the capital, Naypyidaw, as rescue teams battled downed power lines and debris to reach survivors. Local rescuers near Naypyidaw described “scores of fatalities,” while the Red Cross warned of critical delays in accessing remote areas. In Thailand, the quake’s ripple effects toppled an unfinished 33-story government building in Bangkok, killing at least 10 people. CWEB News’ exclusive live video captured the high-rise—intended for Thailand’s Office of the Auditor General—crumbling near a bustling tourist market. The structure, though only one-third complete, had reached its full height, with both local and foreign laborers onsite during the collapse.
Ongoing Crisis and Response
Emergency crews in Myanmar are prioritizing clearing routes to deliver medical aid and evacuate the injured, while Thai authorities scramble to locate workers trapped in the Bangkok rubble. The USGS warned of potential aftershocks and secondary disasters, urging residents to avoid unstable structures.
