- Story Text: A skyscraper under construction collapsed in Bangkok on Friday (March 28) after a strong earthquake struck neighbouring Myanmar.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake was of 7.7 magnitude and at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles). It was followed by a powerful aftershock.
The epicenter was about 17.2 km (10.7 miles) from the city of Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest, which has a population of about 1.5 million.
People rushed out of buildings in panic in Yangon and also in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, witnesses said. There was no immediate word from Myanmar on damage.
