YANGON, MYANMAR -- A powerful earthquake that toppled homes in northeastern Myanmar has killed more than 70 people, and there were fears Friday the toll would mount as conditions in more remote areas became known.

The Thursday night [Mar. 24] quake, measured at magnitude 6.8 by the U.S. Geological Survey, was centered just north of Tachileik town in Shan State, near the Thai border. It was felt hundreds of miles away in the Thai capital, Bangkok, and the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi.

Myanmar state radio announced Friday that 73 people had been killed and 111 injured.

    we continue to hollow out the planet by draining all the oil, you can't compress a liquid, but an empty void will collapse on itself. the Matrix said we are like a virus, the truth is we are more like termites. we happily consume everything around us until the entire construct collapses.

    Recalling how their government dragged its feet handling assistance after the last major flood, those rural people are in deep trouble.

    New Zealand, Japan and now Myanmar (Burma)...
    We are seeing more and more bigger and bigger earthquakes in many places.
    Or 'diverse' places as Matthew 24 puts it.
    Never mind the Mayan scary story and disaster movie...
    It's time to look to the Bible for the truth about what is happening.
    The end is near... The Rapture will happen soon...
    and after that, it will be hell on earth as the events described in Revelation,
    the last book of the Bible unfold. The Mayans got it wrong.
    The world will NOT end in 2012... and certainly not be destroyed by floods.
    God promised he would not destroy the world by water again.
    And since there is still the Antichrist and the last 7 years of history to come,
    the world will be around until at least 2018...

    Sorry, Blue Max, that means you will probably have to pay that tax bill...
    though if the Rapture happens in 2011, you might not be around to collect any tax refund.
    But at that point, whether gone or left behind, money would be the last thing on your mind.

    Those earthquakes are the hoofbeats of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse...
    they are almost at the door... And most people have no idea what is coming...
    Never mind 2012... think 666... coming soon.

    Haven't seen the movie, however I watched a documentory program called Apocalypse Island that was done by 2 astrologers that have been studying the Mayan predictions for years and everything they found is happening at this point in time.

    I don't put any stock in Mayan pagan predictions, they are demonic.

    Matthew 24 is where I would go.

    Read the Mayan history. They predicted the same things Matthew wrote about.

    Might as well. They've already squeezed all the blood they're gonna get out of the turnip!
