A massive 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on Friday, March 28, causing strong tremors that rattled buildings in Bangkok, Thailand, and sent shockwaves as far as Delhi-NCR, India. The quake, recorded at a depth of 10 kilometers with its epicenter at Lat: 21.93 N, Long: 96.07 E, left many in fear as structures swayed violently, and dramatic scenes unfolded across the region.

In Bangkok, several high-rise buildings trembled, with residents capturing spine-chilling videos of the moment. One particular clip went viral, showing water cascading down from the top of a skyscraper, creating the illusion of a massive waterfall. It was later revealed that the building had an infinity pool on its rooftop, and as the earthquake struck, the violent shaking caused water to spill over the edges, turning it into a surreal yet terrifying sight.

Social media was soon flooded with reactions, as users shared their disbelief over the intensity of the tremors. Some dubbed the shocking scene the "ultimate waterfall", while others dramatically referred to it as the "waterfall of death". Memes, videos, and firsthand accounts quickly dominated online discussions as people processed the unexpected natural disaster.

Authorities in Myanmar, Thailand, and India are assessing the impact of the earthquake. While there are no immediate reports of severe damage or casualties, the incident highlights the region's vulnerability to seismic activity and the unpredictable nature of earthquakes.
