- Story Text: Thai rescue teams continued their search for the people trapped in the rubble of the collapsed building in the capital on Saturday (March 29) morning, the day after a strong earthquake struck Myanmar.
Thai authorities said nine people had died and 101 were missing in Bangkok, mostly laborers trapped in the rubble of the collapsed tower.
The Thai capital ground to a halt on Friday (March 28) as all urban rail systems were suspended and roads were gridlocked across one of Asia's biggest cities after the quake in neighboring Myanmar caused tremors up to a magnitude of 7.1 in Bangkok, about 1,020 km (635 miles) from the epicenter.
The death toll in Myanmar jumped to 694 with 1,670 injured on Saturday, the military government said, up sharply from the 144 dead that state media reported on Friday.
