Myanmar earthquake / Phasing out of bamboo scaffolds
On Tuesday's Backchat, we talked about the devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on Friday, resulting in over 2,000 fatalities and leaving many more missing. The disaster is among the worst in the country’s modern history.
The earthquake's intensity was also felt across Thailand and led to the collapse of an under-construction high rise in Bangkok. At least 11 workers were killed, with many more still unaccounted for. Other buildings throughout the Thai capital could also be seen shaking violently.
Chief Executive John Lee earlier dispatched a search and rescue team to Myanmar in hopes of helping Burmese rescuers find survivors. With four days having passed since the disaster, time is running out, and the chances of locating survivors are diminishing. So what is the latest situation on the ground? How prone is the region to earthquakes, and are powerful aftershocks likely?
After 9:30, we discussed the government's decision to gradually phase out bamboo scaffolding, an iconic feature of Hong Kong’s skyline.
