[Photo] Myanmar's capital in disarray after the great earthquake

At noon on the first day of April, the road leading to Myanmar’s capital Naypyidaw was deserted. The severe earthquake on March 28 had caused severe damage to many important structures and bridges in the city. In the photo, the main road leading to Naypyidaw can be seen pushed and collapsed in many sections.

A long crack appeared across a road leading into the capital of Myanmar.

Although the epicenter was quite far from Naypyidaw, the most powerful earthquake in 100 years in Myanmar also caused the air traffic control tower in the capital to collapse. Many houses and hospitals were torn apart. In the photo, local authorities are urgently moving medical equipment out of the Ottara Thiri Hospital, which is waiting to collapse.

Behind, the earthquake - like a rough hand had torn apart the surrounding wall. A layer of blue rope was stretched out to warn of danger.

...The curved walls and the concrete slabs bent into each other are proof of the terrible power of the great earthquake at the end of March...

The hospital's load-bearing system was almost "disabled" by the earthquake's power. Witnesses said they only heard a loud explosion like a bomb before the ground shook "like a wave" and the surrounding buildings were torn apart and cracked.

The nameplate of Ottara Thiri Hospital was severely damaged.

The entire side of the house bent down, revealing crooked steel frames.

A tarpaulin with the words: "The building is in danger of collapsing, dangerous, do not enter" was hung outside.

Inside, authorities are still trying to remove the rubble to serve the search and rescue work this afternoon...

Ottara Thiri Hospital is also the location where the Vietnam Ministry of National Defense's Rescue Team will conduct the search this afternoon, April 1.

Previously, according to preliminary information, thanks to sniffer dogs, Vietnamese engineers discovered that there were possibly victims still trapped and buried inside the rubble.

Although the structure of the building was unstable and there was always a risk of insecurity, the engineers were still determined to find a way to approach the scene.
