Myanmar NOW! Massive 7 7 Earthquake Disaster Shocking Footage – 1,600+ Lives Lost!

On March 28, a powerful earthquake struck Myanmar, leaving behind chaos, destruction, and human losses. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake measured 7.7 magnitude, while some seismological agencies estimated its magnitude at 7.9. The epicenter was 11 miles from Mandalay, a city of 1.2 million people. Twelve minutes after the earthquake, a powerful aftershock of 6.7 magnitude followed, followed by several more.

One local resident reported feeling the earthquake for about a minute before rushing out of his home. He saw others feeling the same. The earthquake was sudden and extremely powerful.

The earthquake caused extensive damage to infrastructure, severely damaging numerous buildings and roads, and collapsing a bridge over the Irrawaddy River. Power was also completely cut off, and telephone lines were down. Several major hospitals in Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar, were severely damaged, forcing medical staff to treat the wounded outdoors.

As of March 29, the death toll in the country stood at 1,644...
More than 3,400 people were injured, and some remain missing. At one point, people were trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings. Search and rescue operations are ongoing in the affected areas.

This was the strongest earthquake centered in Myanmar since 1912.

The earthquake was also felt in Thailand. Hundreds of miles from its epicenter, the quake caused a high-rise building under construction in Bangkok to collapse, killing at least seven people. Dozens remain missing.

Videos posted online by eyewitnesses show people rushing from high-rise residential and office buildings, while water from rooftop pools cascades onto the edges of swaying buildings.

The earthquake's epicenter was about 182 miles from the Chinese border and was felt in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and other areas. In a border town in Yunnan Province, homes were damaged and two people were injured. Surveillance cameras in the maternity ward of Jincheng Hospital captured images of nurses rescuing newborns as the building shook.

Experts point out that the increasing number and magnitude of earthquakes, as well as other natural disasters, is consistent with a mathematical model developed by an international group of scientists from the ALLATRA organization.

Details are presented in the report "On the Evolution of Climate Disasters on Earth and Their Catastrophic Consequences."
