Here in Mandalay, Myanmar's second largest city, it's a race against time
0:06
There's overwhelmed rescue workers pushed to clear the wreckage and free hundreds of people buried under buildings turned to rubble
0:13
One of the worst hit buildings in the city is this condominium development
0:17
where dozens of people are feared to be trapped. After hours of painstaking efforts to free her limbs
0:23
this woman was rescued alive to her husband's relief. I am so worried and heavy-minded
0:31
In the beginning, I didn't think she would be alive because it seemed there was very little chance for it
0:36
I'm very happy that I heard the good news. She's so weak that the rescuers asked me not to talk to her at the moment
0:43
Also, its cultural capital, the 7.7 magnitude quake toppled monasteries, temples and schools in Munderley
0:49
And in the capital city, crews work to aid residents who've lost everything
0:53
with makeshift medical stations set up for the women. Having previously shunned foreign assistance, aid and rescue teams from both neighbouring India and China have arrived after a rare plea from the Hunter-led government

Across the border in the Thai capital, buildings reported damage across the city, with most casualties from one 30-story toppled skyscraper, where loved ones agonisingly wait amidst the mass of metal and concrete
1:21
Yesterday I heard the building collapsed. I worried about my sister, but there was no signal
1:26
to call her. Her colleague said she can't find my mum or my sister who were with her on the fifth floor
1:32
I have about 50% hope. Thailand's Prime Minister says the country has returned to normalcy after the quake rocked the capital
1:40
and that a probe is underway to investigate the building's collapse
