Earthquake Hits Myanmar</NYT_HEADLINE><NYT_BYLINE>
By SETH MYDANS

Published: March 24, 2011

BANGKOK ? A strong earthquake of magnitude 6.8 struck northeastern Myanmar Thursday evening near the borders of Thailand and Laos, shaking buildings as far away as Bangkok, about 480 to the south.

The epicenter was about 70 miles north of the Thai border city of Chiang Rai, but Thai television said little damage had been reported there. It also reported that a 55-year-old woman had died in the border town of Mae Sai when a wall collapsed on her while she was sleeping. There were no immediate reports of damage from within Myanmar or from Luang Prabang, a tourist town not far away in Laos. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake was too far inland to raise a danger of a tsunami.

Increases to 75 deaths from the earthquake in Myanmar
Yangon, March 25 (PL) A 75 dead and 111 injured today reached the figure of people affected by the earthquake of seven degrees on the Richter scale that shook Myanmar last night northeast along the border with Thailand and Lao.

Official sources claimed that most of those killed lived in villages scattered throughout the mountains.

About twenty people died buried in the rubble of a church where they prayed at the time of the earthquake, in the village of Kuni Ha, about 80 miles east of Tachilek, the city of the country most affected by the earthquake.

Similar number of fatalities were recorded in the town of Tarlay, near the epicenter of the quake, which also left more than 50 buildings collapsed.

Police reported 390 houses, 14 monasteries and nine government buildings destroyed in the territories of Tarlay, Naryaung and mongline.

The quake, centered 10 kilometers deep, and no possibility of generating tsunami according to experts, caused damage to about 235 kilometers northeast of Chiang Mai, Thailand's second largest city and tourist destination.

For their part local and state authorities focused on rescue efforts after the quake, according to Antara News detailed the newspaper, and causing scenes of panic.

After registering the earthquake there were more than six aftershocks and officials expect a significant increase of the victims because of the difficulty of assisting people in areas that were inaccessible.

Rescuers Struggle to Reach Burma Quake Areas
March 26, 2011

Rescuers Saturday struggled to reach remote Burmese towns hit by a powerful earthquake which killed 75 as rare images from the area showed roads torn apart and wooden homes reduced to piles of timber.

The towns of Tarlay, Tachileik and nearby villages in Burma's Shan state appear to have been most severely affected by the quake, which flattened hundreds of houses and toppled monasteries and government buildings.

A few images from the area on Thai television and exiled media show roads torn apart by huge cracks, bridges destroyed and wooden homes reduced to piles of timber.

One resident, posting anonymously on an Internet forum, described Tachileik town as "ruined".

"People here are still afraid... Many people slept on the ground where the Buddhist ceremony used to be held. They might go back their homes today as there was no earthquake last night," he said.

"I hope there is not another earthquake because our situation is not very good as we cannot get any concrete assistance from the authorities."

Many people were getting their news from Thai radio.
