We need to wait until Trump draws it on a page with his sig?

That building collapse video is quite terrifying.

That’s not a clever or funny comment.

Wow!

The US Geological Survey forecast likely losses to be anything from 10,000 to 100,000.

200 kilometres long apparently. It is like that one in Turkey a couple of years back?

Yeah, stay in the pool.

It was a scary one. Our bangkok office in only 3 storeys high, but there is a 36 storey condo beside it. Staff were petrified that the condo was going to come down. They swaying of the condo was apparently very unnatural.

Amazing how that building went straight down.. almost like it was built like that and not the result of explosives going off at each floor…

Per Reuters:

International aid began to arrive in Myanmar on Saturday as rescuers searched for survivors after a powerful earthquake devastated the Southeast Asian nation amid concerns the number killed would soar.

The death toll in Myanmar jumped to 694 with 1,670 injured, the military government said, up sharply from the 144 dead that state media reported on Friday.

“Infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings were affected, leading to casualties and injuries among civilians. Search and rescue operations are currently being carried out in the affected areas,” the junta said in a statement issued on state media.

The junta leader, General Min Aung Hlaing, had warned on Friday of more deaths and injuries as he invited “any country” to provide help and donations.
A Chinese rescue team arrived on Saturday while Russia and the U.S. offered aid in the disaster, which struck at lunchtime on Friday and damaged hundreds of buildings in neighbouring Thailand.

The United States Geological Service’s predictive modelling estimated the death toll could exceed 10,000 people in Myanmar, and that losses could be greater than the value of the country’s gross domestic product.

Susan Hough, a scientist in the USGS’s Earthquake Hazards Program, told Reuters it was difficult to predict an earthquake’s death toll, for various reasons including timing. When an earthquake strikes during the daytime, as it did in Myanmar, “people are awake, they have their wits about them, they are better able to respond,” she said.

Correction:

The USGS analysis said there was a 35% chance that possible fatalities could be in the range of 10,000 to 100,000 people.

According to the Guardian

..which doesn’t sound quite as dire.

Gives a good idea of the speed that India is heading north. Presumably there is something similar on the West side of India, and is it related to the big quake in turkey recently?
