Hey friends,
We have some sad news to share. On Friday, a powerful earthquake shook the ground in Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. π The quake was actually centered in a nearby country called Myanmar, but it was so strong that it affected Bangkok too!
Because of the earthquake, an under-construction building in Bangkok collapsed. ποΈ Unfortunately, 10 people have lost their lives, and more than 100 people are still missing. Rescuers are working hard to find them. π·ββοΈπ·ββοΈ
Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s plates move suddenly. This movement can make the ground shake a lot! It’s important for buildings to be strong so they can handle these shakes.
Let’s keep the people of Bangkok in our thoughts and hope that everyone missing is found safe. β€οΈ
Remember, it’s always good to know what to do in emergencies. Stay safe!
