A powerful earthquake in Myanmar sent tremors across Bangkok, causing high-rise buildings to shake violently. A viral video captured a dramatic moment when water from a rooftop pool cascaded down a skyscraper, resembling a waterfall.

Rooftop Pool Waterfall Stuns Onlookers
The earthquake caused rooftop pools in Bangkok’s skyscrapers to overflow. Footage showed torrents of water pouring down the sides of buildings, creating the illusion of waterfalls. The unsettling sight added to the panic among residents and onlookers.
Families Safely Evacuated
Despite the chaos, the uploader later confirmed that the Korean family had safely evacuated. “We have descended from the 31st floor. Even the little child is safe. She did not complain even while walking down the stairs,” they shared.
Under-Construction Skyscraper Collapses in Bangkok
Beyond causing tremors, the earthquake led to the collapse of a 30-storey under-construction government building in Bangkok. Reports indicate that 43 workers were trapped inside when the structure fell due to the violent shaking.
Myanmar Identified as Earthquake Epicenter
According to AFP, the earthquake’s epicenter was 50 kilometers east of Monywa city in Myanmar. The tremors impacted not just Myanmar and Bangkok but were also felt in surrounding regions, raising concerns about further structural damage.
