Katie Couric Instagram – At least 1,000 people are dead after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar and neighboring Thailand. The quake was the largest to hit Myanmar in more than a century and the US Geological Survey estimated that the death toll could top 10,000.
In Thailand, buildings collapsed and at least 3 people have died in the nation’s capital and authorities are racing to rescue 81 people believed to be trapped under the rubble of a high rise construction site.
