US EditionMyanmar quake: SCDF, local rescuers free man trapped under collapsed building after 8-hour effort
- On March 29, rescuers pulled 30-year-old Phyu Lay Khaing alive from the wreckage of the Sky Villa Condominium in Mandalay, 30 hours after a devastating earthquake struck Myanmar.
- The rescue occurred after a shallow 7.7-magnitude quake struck northwest of Mandalay early afternoon on March 28, followed minutes later by a 6.7-magnitude aftershock, causing widespread destruction.
- AFP journalists witnessed Ms. Phyu Lay Khaing being carried out on a stretcher, embraced by her husband Ye Aung, and taken to a hospital, while rescue teams continued searching for other survivors.
- Ye Aung told AFP, "In the beginning I didn't think she would be alive," expressing his relief after anxiously waiting for his wife who was buried in the rubble.
- The earthquake caused buildings to collapse, bridges to be destroyed, and roads to buckle across Myanmar, leading to a tragic loss of life with more than 1,600 individuals dead, and a Red Cross official estimating that more than 90 people could still be trapped in Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city with over 1.7 million residents.
