Myanmar earthquake: Building collapses in Bangkok, bridge falls in Myanmar after major earthquake

Two powerful earthquakes, measuring 7.7 and 6.4 in magnitude, hit Myanmar on Friday. The tremors were so strong that they were felt in Thailand’s capital, Bangkok. An under-construction building in Bangkok and a bridge in Myanmar collapsed due to the massive quakes.
