| Big ones by Tonga are bad news. There is a potential under water super volcano there. Last explosion not long ago put massive amounts of salt water extremely high in the atm. That's way more global warming than man has ever made and might be the only reason we are not heading for an Ice Age |
According to the ECCC, the epicentre of the earthquake was 76 km south-east of the city of Pangai, and the source was located at a depth of 10 km. There were no reports of casualties or damage.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the morning of March 30, two more earthquakes were recorded - off the coast of Indonesia and in Myanmar with a magnitude of 5.1.
In both cases, there were no reports of damage or casualties. However, according to Vietnam+, when the next tremors began in Myanmar, many residents of Mandalay "screamed in panic and ran out into the streets."
On March 28, a powerful earthquake struck Myanmar, killing more than 1,700 people. There are also 3,400 known casualties and more than 300 fatalities. The magnitude of the earthquake, according to various estimates, ranged from 7.7 to 7.9. Eleven minutes after the first, a second earthquake occurred. The tremors caused destruction throughout almost the entire country. Many residential buildings, administrative buildings, schools, and hospitals collapsed. Underground oil pipelines and power lines were also damaged.
That evening, on the orders of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, two Russian Emergencies Ministry planes were sent to Myanmar to help eliminate the aftermath of the earthquake. Emergencies Ministry employees are working around the clock in the country's worst-hit area. Rescuers noted that there is still a chance of finding living people under the rubble.
