This is the heart-stopping moment a man watches in shock as water rises around him after a massive 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar and Thailand.
Cristian David Beltran Cardenas, from Chiang Mai, Thailand, filmed the terrifying scene as his swimming pool sloshed violently, submerging his feet in seconds.
The powerful quake hit on Friday, March 28, 2025, at 1:30 pm local time, sending shockwaves through Myanmar and neighbouring Thailand. At least three people have been confirmed dead so far.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake struck at a depth of just six miles near Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-largest city, followed by a 6.4-magnitude aftershock just 11 minutes later.
