A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake has struck central Myanmar with a depth of 10km, according to the United States Geological Survey . The quake was recorded at 5.20 AEDT on Friday and was felt across the surrounding region. An aftershock of magnitude 6.4 struck 12 minutes after the initial quake, also at a depth of 10km. The iconic Ava Bridge in Mandalay has collapsed into the Irrawaddy River.
Startled residents poured out of high-rise apartment buildings and hotels in densely populated central Bangkok. They remained in the streets, seeking shade from the midday sun in the minutes after the quake. The quake was forceful enough to send water sloshing out of pools, some high up in high-rises, as the tremor shook. Many buildings were evacuated as they swayed in the rare quake.
