A skyscraper under construction collapsed in Bangkok during a 7.7 quake that struck Burma on Friday.
BANGKOK, Thailand — A massive 7.7 earthquake that rocked southeastern Asia Friday led to the collapse of a skyscraper in Bangkok.
Jack Brown’s dash camera was rolling when the quake struck Friday. Video shows a multi-story building under construction sway then topple to the ground in a cloud of debris and dust as astonished drivers look on.
The quake was centered just over 600 miles away near Mandalay, Burma, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. A very strong 6.4 aftershock struck 12 minutes later.
Reuters reports more than 140 people have been killed in Burma and at least nine people have died in Bangkok with rescuers still searching under the rubble of the collapsed building.
Updates to follow soon.
