At least 15 people are still alive and trapped under the rubble of the collapsed Bangkok high -rise building after huge earthquakes struck Myanmar and Thailand.
The rescuers say they have detected signs of life and communicated with some survivors in the 10 -story fragmentary mountains.
As the rescue effort is heading for the second day, many construction workers are missing in the field.
The 7.7 -sized earthquake occurred on Friday afternoon and killed hundreds of times at the epicenter near Mandalay, Myanmar. The powerful effect can be felt not only in Thailand, but also hundreds of miles from China and India.
There were reports of extensive devastation in the Saigawing region and Mandalay, including flat buildings and temple spire. Myanmar officials say more than 1,000 people have died and 2,376 were injured.
In Bangkok, the building was shaken and the water was sprayed in the pool, and thousands of people experienced the effect of the earthquake. Officials said they received a report with 2,000 cracks in the building.
But the capital did not hurt much. Except for the unfinished headquarters of the auditor’s office, there is a focus of Thailand’s damage.
Tourist Landmark Chatuchak, located across from the market, has a flashing tower of blue glass and steel.
The earthquake reduced the earthquake -twisted reinforcing bar and a shattered concrete, and hundreds of rescue teams were mixed around them.
According to the latest official figures, at least 96 of the more than 400 workers on this site died, eight died and eight were injured.
Some are considered Burmese. Many Burmese immigrants work in the Thai construction industry.
Until Friday night and Saturday morning, drones, snipers, cranes and excavators have been brought to help rescue efforts.
At lunchtime, officials said they detected at least 15 people under the debris and found about 5m to 10m at the top of the pile.
An official said, “The building was difficult to rescue as the building collapsed and collapsed like pancakes, and public officials were forced to refrain from using heavy equipment.
They said they could come into contact with the survivors who “screamed and made noise.” Others were detected with their movement and body temperature.
An official said, “We want to save them as soon as possible.” “The signs of our lives last night have been silent since then. I want all Thais to be strong and stronger for them.”
Officials have not yet known why the buildings have collapsed and have investigated the investigator a week.
In the corners of the dusty dust, tents and desks were established to register the details of missing relatives.
The solemn people, mostly women gathered in a tent with a fierce heat, and their faces were worried. Sometimes, some burst out from SOBS.
“I desperately wanted to come here. I wanted to see my husband.”
“I need to see him once in any state.”
A man named SIEW, who was waiting for the news of two missing cousins, told the BBC: “I think it is very slim.
Supreme officials vowed to continue searching for missing workers.
Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnweerakul said to reporters as follows.
“We will continue to work until there is no one left inside. We always have hope.”
