Scientists by no means noticed after the Earth’s breakdown throughout the Myanmar earthquake
When you watch the video below, do not distract the cracking concrete or metal gate back and forth. Keep your eyes focused on the right side of the screen, where you will see a stunning vision – an earthquake scientists say that never had been caught on camera before.
The video was captured by a surveillance camera on 28 March, when a violent earthquake hit the south -east Asian country of Myanmar – causing a far -off damage to Bangkok in neighboring Thailand, and some 3,700 people died, according to the ruler of Myanmar.
The footage shows the moment when the 7.7 magnitude earthquake moved the ground forward with a powerful shock on one side, as a breakdown burst opened the earth with a strong mistake for 460 kilometers.
“My jaw hit the floor,” Wendy Bohon said, an earthquake geologist and science communication expert, when she saw it, in Sacramento, California.

Satellite imagery and other data had already helped scientists to determine the limits of breaking and how much the earth almost went away. But seeing such a dramatic change of landscape in action is the first for scientists like Bohon, and can prove to be an invaluable tool in understanding the type of earthquake that destroys Myanmar.
CBC News said, “We have its computer models. We have its laboratory models. But all of them are very few compared to the real natural system. So to see that it is actually happening, it was the mind-boggling.”
Why the earth moved so powerful
“I am going back and watching it,” said Geologist Judith Hubard, an assistant professor of the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences of the University of Cornell.
He said, “This is really to see a mistake slide in real time, especially for a person like me, who has spent years in studying these things, but always from more remote type of data, such as offset after facts or data recorded by sensors,” said in an email interview.
The mistake of Sagaing runs between Indian and Eurasian plates, through Myanmar and about 1,400 kilometers in the Andaman Sea. This is one Strike-slip faultWhich means that when there is an earthquake, the land mass on one side of the mistake slides to the other.
Researcher with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab To determine that satellite and radar data were used that the earthquake caused a horizontal displacement up to six meters in some places with mistake. Japan’s geophysic information authority Similar observation.
Scientists like Hubard say that there is “hypnotic evidence”, it was an earthquake of earthquake.
This occurs when the speed of bursting, which is usually moving slowly, travels faster than earthquake waves that cause earthquakes, which can travel up to six kilometers per second.
Video appeared on 11 May The 2025 Sagaing Earthquake Archive on YouTube channel, which has been curing social media video and security camera footage since the earthquake.
according to a Facebook post Link in the caption, the video was from a camera that was in a power facility. It is close to the township of Thazi, about 110 kilometers south of the city of Mandle, and the earthquake sub -center and its 6.7 magnitude afterchock.
A Google Maps satellite of the region shows an electric facility located in the region and is close to the Sigang Dosha.
Hubard said that looking at the video, it does not seem that there was an earthquake of earthquake at this place, as you are seeing that the seismic waves were hit and the areas were shaking before the breakdown. But it is possible that it was happening somewhere else at supershier speed with mistake.
He said that this video offers him and other earthquake scientists “actually striking observation”.
“We do not correct the devices with mistakes. They are often moved by moving,” he said.
This was the same in front of his eyes, on the video, which means they have to rely on complex recording and analysis and interpretation of data to determine what they only happened on the ground.
Rescue teams in Myanmar and Thailand are hitting the survivors under the rubble in view of a major earthquake, killing more than 1,600 people and being buried countless others. Efforts in Myanmar are further challenged by medical supply, damaged roads and lack of ongoing civil war. ,
How to tell what we’re looking for is real
Bohon said that there is no doubt that the video is real and she does not believe that it has been replaced or coined in any way.
He said that there are fine details in the background that you have to pay attention, or that AI would not know to generate tools – as a bird fly fly as the shocks begin about 12 seconds in the video, and the electrical lines are stressed and eventually cause a transmission towers after a few seconds.
Bohon said, “There is another kind of subtle thing.” “It is called geomorphology, the size of the Earth’s surface.”
Earthquake, he explained, change the landscape and move the hills and rivers.
He pointed to the small hill in the background of CCTV footage, which is located with mistake, which moves forward.
“The hill in the background that you see moving towards the camera,” he said. “If you see it, it is a kind of tall and linear, and then it is right where the mistake is.”
He said that if you can see the location using satellite imagery, you can see that the other half of the hill is in relation to the part that moved forward in the earthquake.
See and learn
To verify the observation Bohon, to verify what she was watching in the video, she also told a lot about the earthquake and such footage has a “tremendous scientific value”.
He said that despite violent tremors and earth shifting, it was interesting to see that small structures were relatively dissatisfied given the force of earthquake.
He said, “To see destruction in the near and see it in the background, and then, really an interesting look was how the earthquakes affect things next to the mistake and are at different degrees away from different degrees,” he said.
As the same earthquake in Myanmar can be “destructive and frightening”, Bohon said that he always offers an opportunity to learn that expected to be used to improve security and protect life.
Although this footage is a first, Bohon hopes that there will be more to come due to the prevalence of CCTV and other types of cameras that are capturing videos around the clock and from several angles.
The rescue teams in Myanmar and Thailand on Friday are making tireless efforts to try to pull people from the debris after the 7.7-Panchalata earthquake. The toll of death has already exceeded 1,600 and officials hope that it will continue to grow.
