A magnitude 6.8 earthquake occurred at 7.50 am on 11th November 2012 at Thabeikkyin, 100 km north of Mandalay, Myanmar, close to the trace of the Sagaing Fault at a depth of about 10 km. Ground shaking affected much of the central part of the country, and a 45 km long surface rupture formed along the trace of the Sagaing Fault.
26 people lost their lives, 231 were injured, and hundreds of buildings were seriously damaged.
These pictures attempt to give a flavour of the life of those who experienced the Thabeikkyin earthquake and who continue to live with the fault restless beneath their feet.
