Rescue workers were seen rappelling into the rubble of a collapsed building in Bangkok on Sunday (March 30), as 47 people remained missing or trapped under the debris, including workers from Myanmar.
The building, which was under construction, toppled down on Friday (March 28) following a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar. The tremors reached the Thai capital, located approximately 1,000 km (620 miles) from the quake’s epicenter.
Emergency workers continued to search through the rubble, assisted by diggers and other heavy machinery. Road sweepers were also seen gathering debris near the collapse site.
At least nine people have been confirmed dead in Bangkok, according to city officials, with eight fatalities reported from the collapsed building and one from a separate location.
As rescue operations continue, authorities are working to locate and rescue those still trapped beneath the rubble.
