At least 15 people alive under a Bangkok skyscraper

It is believed that at least 15 people are still alive and besieged under the rubble of a skyscraper in Bangkok, which collapsed after a huge earthquake that struck Myanmar and Thailand.

Rescuers say they discovered the signs of life and contacted some survivors under the 10 -storey Hatim Mountain.

Dozens of construction workers are still missing on the site, as the rescue voltage is heading to its second day.

An earthquake of 7.7 people took place at the time of Friday afternoon local time, killing hundreds at the earthquake center near Mandalay, Myanmar. Its strong effects can feel hundreds of miles away in the Thai capital, as well as in China and India.

There were reports of widespread destruction in the Saigaing and Mandalay area, including flat buildings and temple towers. Myanmar officials say more than 1000 died so far, while 2,376 others were injured.

In Bangkok, thousands of earthquake traces suffered as the buildings were affected and the water decreased from swimming pools. The officials said they had received 2000 reports on cracks appearing in the buildings.

But the capital appeared largely-with the exception of the incomplete headquarters of the General Reference Office, which is still the central point in damage in Thailand.

Skyscraper of 30 floors is located on the other side of the Sourist Landmark Catuchak market, as it appeared once in a glass tower of blue and steel glass.

The earthquake reduced it to a twisted mountain of reinforcing steel and shattered concrete, which reduced hundreds of rescue workers wandering around it.

Of more than 400 workers they were at the site, at least 96 workers, while eight died and eight others were injured, according to the latest official figures.

It is believed that some are Buri. Many Burmese immigrants work in the construction industry in Thailand.

Throughout Friday night until Saturday morning, drones, sparkling dogs, cranes and excavators were brought to help in the rescue voltage.

By lunch time, officials said they discovered at least 15 people alive under the rubble, located about 5 meters to 10 meters from the top of the pile.

One of the officials said that “the building collapsed like a pie” – and continues to collapse – the rescue actions were difficult, forcing the officials to refrain from using heavy machines.

They said they were able to contact some of the survivors who “shouted and made noise.” Others were discovered through their movements and body heat.

“We want to save them as soon as possible,” said one of the officials. “Some of the signs of life that we have received last night have been silent since then. I want all Thai to pray for them.”

The officials have not yet discovered the cause of the building’s collapse, and they gave the investigators a week for investigation.

In a dusty angle of the construction site, tents and offices were created to record the details of the missing relatives.

Groups of people, most of whom are women, gathered in the tent in the heat of magic, their faces are mysterious with anxiety. Sometimes, some exploded in sighs.

“I wanted to come here desperately, I wanted to see my husband,” she was one woman, who gave her name Naromol, while her friend was comfortable.

“I just need to see it once, in no way.”

“I think the opportunity to survive is very small … in my heart, I don’t know if they would be alive,” told BBC.

Senior government officials pledged to continue to search for missing workers.

Anutin Charnwerakul addressed the reporters during his visit to the site, saying: “We are working tirelessly and we are still working around the clock to ensure that anyone is safe.”

“We will continue to work so that there is no one from the inside … We always have hope.”
