The power of the earthquake -7.7 Sur L'linen the guide- explains the extent of the damage. The latter released an equivalent energy to more than 300 atomic bombs the size of Hiroshima. The epicenter was near Sagaing, a hundred kilometers from the Burmese capital Nay Pyi Taw. As often during earthquakes of such power, a second earthquake of magnitude 6.4 struck the region twelve minutes later, followed by many aftershocks reaching up to 5.1.
