**Powerful 7.7 Earthquake in Myanmar: Shocking Reports of Building Collapses**

In recent hours, a devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck the region of Myanmar, extending into Thailand and causing tragic impacts. With reports of fatalities and extensive material damages, the captured images are impactful and dramatic.

The video shows how a skyscraper in Bangkok watches as the water from its pool spills out after the earthquake, reflecting the strength of the aftershocks that followed the main event. Countries like Vietnam, Laos, Nepal, and China also felt the effects of this seismic event, which according to the United States Geological Survey, has resulted in at least a dozen deaths and damages still to be assessed.

One of the most distressing moments was the collapse of a building under construction, where it is estimated that at least 80 workers could be trapped. Authorities have declared a state of emergency in six regions of Myanmar, highlighting the severity of the situation.

The shallow depth of the earthquake, just 10 km, would explain the intensity of the shaking and the large number of collapsed buildings. In Myanmar, a country with serious infrastructure deficiencies, the lack of preparedness for seismic events of this magnitude is evident.

The images of mass evacuations, collapsed buildings, and the panic of the population showcase the tragedy that has struck this region. The rapid dissemination of information and constant updates on casualty figures and missing persons underscore the urgency of the situation.

Amidst the crisis, there is a need to improve urban planning and seismic-resistant infrastructure in these regions. The challenge of rebuilding and addressing the shortcomings exposed by this earthquake will be crucial in mitigating future natural disasters and protecting the affected population
