First fault rupture ever filmed: M7.9 surface rupture filmed near Thazi, Myanmar

On March 28th, 2025, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck Myanmar. The earthquake was a rupture of about 460 kilometers (290 miles) of the Sagaing fault line that runs through most of Myanmar, causing shaking of up to intensity X on the Modified Mercalli scale. As heavy shaking was felt throughout much of Myanmar as well as other neighboring countries, the fault line moved side-to-side by as much 6 meters (20 feet) in some places, a movement which can be seen in this video. This is the first confirmed instance of a fault line motion being captured on camera. As of August 8th, 2026, a second fault rupture has been caught on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pXR9Wd3KyI Coordinates: 20°52'55.4"N 96°02'07.0"E Originally uploaded by Htin Aung: https://www.facebook.com/htin.aung.33/videos/1041579804084512
