Six-hundred miles away from the quake's epicenter, in the Thai capital of Bangkok, video captured a twin skyscraper as it broke apart and rooftop pools turned into waterfalls. A skyscraper, still under construction, collapsed as residents ran. More bodies were pulled from the rubble on Sunday as worried family members waited for word of their loved ones. A photo from Operation Blessing's Bangkok office showed a large crack running down the wall. Staff members scrambled under desks and prayed aloud as their building shook. Eventually, everyone made it out of the building unhurt. The nation of Israel dispatched a team of experts from the IDF and the Israeli Ministry of Defense to Bangkok. The team is equipped with state-of-the-art search and rescue equipment. There is extra urgency because the 72-hour window after the quake—the best chance for finding trapped survivors alive—has begun to close.
