Thousands Feared D+ad as Devastating Earthquake Strikes Thailand and Myanmar
A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake rocked Southeast Asia on Friday, with its epicenter near Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-largest city.
The massive quake caused widespread d+struction across Myanmar and Thailand, leaving thousands feared d+ad and tr+gg£ring p+nic across the region.
In Bangkok, Thailand, a 30-story skyscraper under construction collapsed near the Chatuchak market, sending thick dust into the air as people fled in t£rror.
Rescue teams are working to pull survivors from the rubble, with seven people already rescued and dozens still missing. Defense Minister Phumtham Wechayachai warned that the site remains unstable, complicating search and recovery efforts.
Elsewhere in Bangkok, tremors forced residents and tourists to evacuate hotels, with some seen in bathrobes as water from an elevated swimming pool at a luxury hotel spilled over. Governor Chadchart Sittipunt confirmed at least two deaths in the city.
In Myanmar, the d£str¥ction is severe. A mosque in Taungoo partially collapsed, causing multiple fatalities. In Aung Ban, a hotel collapse k+lled at least two people and injured 20 others. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) issued a red alert, estimating that fatalities could range between 1,000 and 10,000, with a high likelihood of widespread devastation.
Both Thailand and Myanmar have declared states of emergency as officials assess the d+mage. However, Myanmar’s ongoing civil unrest poses a significant challenge to delivering aid and coordinating rescue operations.
The quake’s aftershocks continue to shake the region, adding to fears of further collapses. As rescue efforts intensify, the true scale of the disaster remains uncertain, but the impact is already being felt across hundreds of miles of affected areas.

Spanish Court Overturns Ex-Barcelona Star Dani Alves Rape Sentence
~1.9 mins read
A Spanish appeals court overturned Friday former Brazil international footballer Dani Alves’ rape conviction, arguing his trial was marked by “shortcomings” and “inaccuracies”. Alves was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in jail in February last year for raping a young woman in the VIP bathroom of a Barcelona nightclub on December 31, 2022. The 41-year-old, who won the Champions League three times with Barcelona, was released from jail last March pending his appeal after he posted the one million euros ($ 1.1 million) bail set by the court. The appeals court said its four judges had “unanimously” accepted the player’s appeal and “annulled” his conviction. The court also rejected the appeal filed by public prosecutors, who were seeking a more severe jail term of nine years. Alves’ trial contained “a series of gaps, inaccuracies, inconsistencies, and contradictions regarding the facts, the legal assessment, and its consequences,” the court said in its ruling. During the trial, the woman, who testified behind a screen to protect her identity, said Alves had violently forced her to have sex despite begging him to let her go, causing her “anguish and terror”, according to prosecutors present for her declaration. Alves testified that his sexual encounter with the woman was consensual and denied hitting the woman and grabbing her hair. “I am not that type of man, I am not violent,” he told the court after his defence lawyer asked if he had forced her to have sex. “If she wanted to leave, she could have left; she was not obliged to be there,” he added. His lawyers argued during the trial that the victim had been “glued” to the player while dancing at the nightclub. Alves initially denied knowing his accuser in a TV interview but later acknowledged having sex with her after CCTV footage emerged showing the pair entering the lavatory of the nightclub. He told La Vanguardia newspaper he had lied because he was afraid his wife would leave him. The lower court had also demanded Alves pay 150,000 euros in compensation to his accuser, and ordered he serve five years’ probation after he completed his jail term. But the appeals court said that given that with the anulment of his conviction, these “precautionary measures” have been dropped. Alves was a pivotal part of an all-conquering Barcelona team — crowned La Liga champions six times — and won 126 caps for Brazil, winning the Copa America twice. He also won European league titles with Italian giants Juventus and French outfit Paris Saint-Germain. At the time of his arrest, he was contracted to Mexican club Pumas UNAM — he was sacked soon afterwards. Brazil’s leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva criticised the court’s decision to grant Alves bail, saying at the time that money “cannot undo the crime that a man commits by raping a woman”.
