A security camera captured the moment of the Myanmar earthquake of March 28, 2025, revealing the ground splitting as one plate slid past the other.
This video may be the first ever recorded fault rupture, showcasing the magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck Myanmar.
Geologists are amazed by the footage, highlighting various impactful events such as landscape movement, cracked driveways, toppling transmission towers, and falling water tanks.
The video depicts movement along a strike-slip fault, providing clear evidence of lateral movement, resembling the operation of the San Andreas Fault. The video was shared by the 2025 Sagaing Earthquake Archive.
