Earthquake rocks Myanmar and Thailand: Heartbreaking photos, video show extent of devastation

地震震撼缅甸和泰国：令人痛心的照片

A powerful earthquake rocked Myanmar and neighboring Thailand on Friday, destroying buildings, damaging roads and bridges, and leaving more than 150 people dead.

The 7.7 magnitude quake struck at midday about 10 miles from Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-largest city with a population of about 1.5 million. Strong aftershocks followed, including one that was measured at 6.4 magnitude, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The head of Myanmar’s military government, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, said on state-run television that at least 144 people were killed and 730 others were injured in the war-torn country.

周五，一场强烈地震震撼了缅甸及其邻国泰国，造成建筑物被毁，道路和桥梁受损，超过150人丧生。

这场7.7级地震于正午时分发生，震中距离缅甸第二大城市曼德勒约10英里，曼德勒约有150万人口。据美国地质调查局称，随后发生了强烈余震，其中一次余震震级为6.4级。

缅甸军政府领导人敏昂莱大将在国营电视台上表示，在这个饱受战争蹂躏的国家，至少有144人死亡，730人受伤。

In Bangkok, Thailand’s capital city, officials said that at least 10 people were killed, more than a dozen injured and about 100 others missing.

The death toll in both countries was expected to rise.

Stunning photos and videos captured just some of the destruction left by the quake.

在泰国首都曼谷，官员们称，至少有10人死亡，十多人受伤，约100人失踪。

预计两国的死亡人数还会上升。

令人震惊的照片和视频仅捕捉到了地震造成的部分破坏场景。

In Bangkok, emergency crews and first responders raced to a high-rise under construction that collapsed. A video taken by a motorist on a highway showed the moment the 33-story building fell.

Other images showed people who flooded into the streets as buildings swayed. Traffic in the central part of the city came to a standstill Friday evening as aftershocks shut down the rail system.

在曼谷，紧急救援人员和首批响应者迅速赶往一座倒塌的在建高层建筑。一名驾车者在高速公路上拍摄的一段视频记录下了这座33层大楼倒塌的瞬间。

其他画面显示，建筑物摇晃时，人们纷纷涌上街头。周五晚上，由于余震导致铁路系统停运，曼谷市中心的交通陷入瘫痪。

以下是美国雅虎读者的评论：

That's big and scary. I was in LA in January 1994 for that one, 6.5 maybe? The hotel building was swaying. The concrete stairs moving as I went down, holding hands in the dark with a strange man from another room who was whining. I had my iron and ironing board set up and the iron flew across the room. It felt like the exorcist.

太可怕了。1994年1月我在洛杉矶经历了那场地震，大概是6.5级吧？酒店大楼在摇晃。我下楼的时候混凝土楼梯也在晃动，在黑暗中我和另一个房间的一个不停抱怨的陌生男子手拉手。我当时支好了熨斗和熨衣板，结果熨斗飞到了房间另一头。感觉就像《驱魔人》里的场景一样。

I live in california and come from a family who survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake that was estimated to be over 8 on the Richter scale ( it wasn't invented yet so the magnitude is an estimate based on the destruction) . This is a reminder of those that live on the west coast of the USA to alwways be prepared for the so called 'Big One'. I went throught the 1989 Loma Prieta shaker that many thought was the Big One that did major damage to San Francisco's marina neighborhood, having been built on landfill from the 1906 earthquake. This earthquake colapsed and pancaked several large apartment buildings trap many and started several major fires due to broken natural gas lines.

我住在加利福尼亚，我的家族成员在1906年旧金山地震中幸存下来，那场地震估计里氏震级超过8级（当时里氏震级还没发明出来，所以这个震级是根据破坏程度估算的）。这提醒着美国西海岸的人们要时刻为所谓的“大震”做好准备。我经历过1989年的洛马普列塔地震，很多人认为那就是“大震”，它对旧金山滨海区造成了重大破坏，那里是在1906年地震后的填埋地上建造起来的。这场地震导致几座大型公寓楼倒塌、像薄饼一样层层叠压，困住了很多人，还因为天然气管道破裂引发了几场大火。

I'm from Long Beach. Living in BKK. Didn't even feel this one.

我来自长滩，现在住在曼谷。这次地震，我都没感觉到

Thankfully I’ve never been in one even when we lived in the PNW. Only a simulation at a museum.
Personally if I have to be in a natural disaster, I’ll take a tornado-at least we can usually get a fair warning for those!
I hope these folks find survivors quickly!

谢天谢地，即便我们曾住在太平洋西北地区，我也从未亲身经历过地震，只在博物馆里体验过模拟地震。

就我个人而言，如果非得经历一场自然灾害，我宁愿遭遇龙卷风——至少通常来说，对于龙卷风我们还能提前得到较为可靠的预警！

我希望这些人能尽快找到幸存者！

ED
They say the west coast of California is in for a big one at some point in time.

据说，加利福尼亚州西海岸在某个时候会迎来一场大地震。

Being trapped under a collapsed building is the stuff of nightmares. Hope any survivors are found quickly.

被困在倒塌的建筑物下，这简直是噩梦般的场景。希望能尽快找到所有幸存者。

As a career professional Firefighter/Paramedic for 40+ years before retiring. I was trained in confined space rescue. If those building pancaked, like in 9/11. There is little hope except for the "miracle few". Think about the sounds you heard at 9/11 ground zero right after? Those were our brethren's "Still" (PASS) alarms, designed to go off after 30-45 seconds of no movement. The alarms survived, the users did not.
Hope for miracles. Expect very few.

在退休前，我作为一名职业的消防员兼护理人员，从业40多年，接受过密闭空间救援方面的训练。如果那些建筑物像“9·11”事件中那样层层坍塌，除了少数“奇迹般”的幸存者，几乎没有什么希望。想想“9·11”事件发生后，你在世贸中心废墟现场听到的声音吧？那是我们同伴的“静止”（个人安全系统）警报声，设计成在30到45秒没有动静后就会响起。警报器还在响，而使用者却已不在人世。

期待奇迹发生，但别抱太大希望。

KD
I’m 25 years in Fire Admin…ever since 9/11 when I hear the guys PASS go off during training it brings it all back…hearing those on the rubble and knowing what they were.
May they find survivors quickly here!!

我从事消防管理工作已经25年了。自“9·11”事件以来，每次在训练中听到队员们的个人安全系统警报声响起，往事都会涌上心头。回想起在废墟中听到那些警报声，并且知道那意味着什么。愿他们在这里能尽快找到幸存者！！

Modern tall buildings pancake. Watch the videos. Smaller masonry structure slip off foundations or collapse to a side. Very little hope for those in skyscrapers.
I also wonder what building codes are like there and if seismic bracing is required and the requirement enforced.

现代高楼大厦会像薄饼一样层层坍塌。较小的砖石结构会从地基上滑落或向一侧倒塌。对于被困在摩天大楼里的人来说，希望十分渺茫。

我也很好奇那里的建筑规范是什么样的，以及是否要求安装抗震支撑结构，这些要求又是否得到了执行。

Devp
Thank you for your many years of service. It's not said enough to firefighters. Semper Fi

感谢你多年来的奉献。对于消防员们，这样的感谢远远不够。

Rachel
It looks absolutely horrific. I wish them swift medical and rescue support but I know the place will be scarred for many years

这景象看起来简直可怕至极。我希望他们能迅速得到医疗和救援支持，这个地方会在许多年里都留下伤痛的痕迹。

The survivors under the rubble in Gaza are devoured by wild dogs. I hear they are quite plump.

加沙废墟下的幸存者被野狗吞噬了。我听说那些野狗都长得相当肥壮。

clarie
So awful, just devastating. Looking at those buildings, I am sure there are people trapped in them. My heart just breaks for all those affected. Our Earth gives a false sense of safety and stability but it is anything but. It's a planet that is constantly changing and we are all just living on it.

太可怕了，简直是毁灭性的。看着那些建筑物，我敢肯定里面有人被困。我为所有受灾的人感到痛心。地球给了我们一种虚假的安全感和稳定感，但事实远非如此。这是一颗不断变化的星球，而我们都只是生活在上面罢了。

EDWARD
Wow. My heart goes out to those affected. Devastation.

哇。我为那些受灾的人感到痛心。一片狼藉、损失惨重啊。

Paul
When a country gives itself over to false gods and idols, it brings ruin to that country. So God has removed His protection from these Buddhist lands.

当一个国家信奉虚假的神灵和偶像时，就会给这个国家带来毁灭。所以上帝已经撤回了对这些佛教国家的庇佑。

My parents and I lived in Bangkok during the 1960's & 1970's when there were still many huge "klongs" (waterways) which bisected and traversed the city. I attended middle and high school at the International School of Bangkok. Over the past decades, most of the "klongs" have been drained, land-filled and have had hundreds of enormous high-rise buildings erected. Most of Bangkok still sits upon old original unstable jelly-like ground. Meanwhile, I await communication from numerous friends regarding their safety, welfare and first-hand trusted information.

20世纪60年代和70年代，我和父母住在曼谷，那时曼谷还有许多巨大的“运河”（水道），它们纵横交错，贯穿整座城市。我在曼谷国际学校上了初中和高中。在过去的几十年里，大部分“运河”都被排干、填埋，然后建起了数百座巨大的高楼大厦。曼谷的大部分地区仍然建在原本就不稳定的胶状土地上。与此同时，我在等待众多朋友的消息，想知道他们是否安全、过得怎么样，以及了解一些第一手的可靠信息。

Richard
My personal non-professional interpretation of the collapse seems to indicate an issue other than a foundation/landfill problem.

就我个人的非专业判断来看，这些建筑物的倒塌似乎表明存在着除地基或填埋问题之外的其他问题。

A bit of seismic history: For those who might not recall yesterday March 27th was the 61st anniversary of the great Alaska earthquake that hit @ 5:36PM Good Friday March 27th 1964. This earthquake was one of the largest ever recorded, shook for 10 minutes and registered something like 9.0 on the Richter scale. Anchorage was almost wiped off the map, several parts of the city sunk something like 20 ' and small towns on the coast were destroyed and washed out to sea killing thousands. The devastation didn't stop there. This earthquake that originated in the Gulf of Alaska generated a large tsunami that devastated downtown Crescent City California, hit Hawaii and went as far as Chile.

一段地震历史：可能有些人不记得了，昨天（3月27日）是1964年3月27日下午5点36分阿拉斯加大地震61周年纪念日。那次地震是有史以来记录到的最大地震之一，持续摇晃了10分钟，里氏震级约为9.0级。安克雷奇几乎从地图上被抹去，城市的几个区域下沉了约20英尺，沿海的一些小镇被摧毁并被冲进大海，造成数千人死亡。灾难还不止于此。这场起源于阿拉斯加湾的地震引发了一场巨大的海啸，摧毁了加利福尼亚州新月城的市中心，海啸还袭击了夏威夷，甚至远至智利。

Just spent a year in se Asia, mostly in Thailand.. besides the occasional border run or visiting the north and south most time was spent in Bangkok … I was supposed to be flying back out in the next week or so (surprise visit to my family in the states for my bday and my brother and sister in laws anniversary which is also my bday) - this is just tragic… heartfelt condolences to all, I wish and hope for the best for everyone involved.

我刚在东南亚待了一年，大部分时间都在泰国。除了偶尔去边境转转或者去泰国北部和南部游玩，大部分时间都在曼谷。我本来打算在接下来的一周左右飞回去（想给在美国的家人一个惊喜，因为那既是我的生日，也是我哥哥和嫂子的结婚纪念日）

这太悲惨了。向所有人致以诚挚的哀悼，我希望并祝愿所有受灾的人都能一切安好。

I experienced the 3/11 earthquake in Japan, a magnitude 9 quake, while on a business trip. I was on the 25th floor of an office building, which swayed violently with a terrible creaking noise as ceiling panels fell. The building in front of me kept disappearing and reappearing due to the intense movement. On top of that, a 10-meter tsunami struck the Fukushima nuclear power plant, triggering a nationwide radiation scare, along with shortages of bottled water and food. This situation reminds me of that day. I pray for those in Myanmar and Thailand.

我在出差期间经历了日本3·11地震，那是一场9级地震。我当时在一栋办公楼的25层，大楼剧烈摇晃，天花板的镶板纷纷掉落，还伴随着可怕的嘎吱声。我前面的那栋楼因为剧烈的晃动，一会儿消失一会儿又出现。除此之外，一场10米高的海啸袭击了福岛核电站，引发了全国范围内的辐射恐慌，同时还出现了瓶装水和食品短缺的情况。眼前的情景让我想起了那天。我为缅甸和泰国的人们祈祷。

I've seen video of high-rise buildings visibly swaying, but not in unison. Partly due to differing height, and partly due to distance between them. Traditional, 5-story Japanese Pagodas were designed so that they could sway - the floors sliding/flexng against one-another - to dissipate the destructive lateral force, instead of 'harmonically' self-destructing.

高楼大厦明显在摇晃，但并不是同步的。部分原因是它们的高度不同，部分原因是它们之间的距离不同。传统的日本5层宝塔设计得能够摇晃——各层之间可以相互滑动或弯曲——以此来消散具有破坏性的横向力，而不是因“共振”而自我摧毁。

Chicargo
It was that quake-induced tsunami that caused the deaths of 11,000 people there, not the quake itself.

是那场由地震引发的海啸导致了那里11000人死亡，而不是地震本身。

Insight
As a survivor of the Bay Bridge Quake in '89, Philippines 1991 and Kyoto 1995, I hope this people well!

作为1989年海湾大桥地震、1991年菲律宾地震和1995年京都地震的幸存者，我希望这些人一切安好！

Ann
Have lived in East Asia, traveled in Southeast Asia, and lived in Los Angeles during the 1984 earthquake. Big quakes are really scary even if damage isn't bad where you are; when there's loss of life and major property damage, they're horrendous. My heart goes out to those affected.

我曾在东亚生活过，在东南亚旅行过，还在1984年地震时住在洛杉矶。即使你所在的地方受灾不严重，大地震也着实可怕；而当出现人员伤亡和重大财产损失时，那简直是惨不忍睹。我为那些受灾的人感到痛心。

Jennna
This is tragic, hope those trapped under collapsed buildings are rescued quickly. Seeing that building under construction collapse was terrifying. While the collapse is tragic for the workers there, it would have killed thousands of people had it been finished and occupied. Something doesn't add up and corners must have been cut during construction.

这太悲惨了，希望那些被困在倒塌建筑物下的人能尽快获救。看到那座在建的大楼倒塌真是太可怕了。虽然大楼倒塌对那里的工人来说是个悲剧，但如果它已经完工并有人入住，那可能会造成数千人死亡。有些事情说不通，在施工过程中肯定偷工减料了。

Dane
I can understand how they felt regarding this earthquake. I was in San Francisco during the Loma Prieta earthquake. Many of my friends homes were totally destroyed

我能理解他们对这次地震的感受。我在洛马普列塔地震发生时就在旧金山。我很多朋友的家都被彻底摧毁了。

Hella
Blessings to those affected. America used to lend a hand or supplies when things like this happened but now we are not allowed to be help our fellow humans. Good luck Myanmar, we are with you in spirit, at least some of us

为那些受灾的人祈福。过去遇到这样的事情时，美国常常会伸出援手或提供物资，但现在我们却不被允许去帮助我们的人类同胞。祝缅甸好运，至少我们中的一些人在精神上与你们同在。

Don
Look at that pile of construction rubble in Thailand. It was a Chinese firm that was building it as reported by news agencies. Perhaps they should have hired a Japanese firm to design and build it because the Japanese are masters at building earthquake resistant buildings.

看看泰国的那堆建筑废墟。据新闻机构报道，那是一家中国公司承建的。也许他们本应该聘请一家日本公司来设计和建造，日本人在建造抗震建筑方面堪称行家。

armyve
I'm sorry to hear people lost their lives in Thailand. I was station in Thailand in 1970. The Thai people were very friendly too the Americans in the military.

听到有人在泰国地震中丧生，我感到很难过。1970年我曾驻扎在泰国。当时泰国人对美军非常友好。
