To all affected from the recent earthquake

Hello, IFC.

Us brothers and sisters on the IFC stand together to mourn the lives taken by the recent earthquake affecting Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Bangladesh, India, China, and others Personally, as a person living in Myanmar, I have been fortunate enough to survive this terrifying earthquake. Others have unfortunately been injured severely from the earthquake. I’m sure most of you have seen the video showcasing the damages of the earthquake in Bangkok. I’ll link it here if you haven’t seen it.

I’m sure many lives have been affected, traumatised, and destroyed by the actions of this earthquake and I just want to take a silent minute of your time to respect them. It is in these moments that the IFC is not only a place to share our passion in aviation, but a place for everyone to share, enjoy, and mourn the events happening in this cruel world.

To everyone affected, I just want to tell you that I understand. It can be difficult but we can get through it, together. If you want to talk about anything in particular, my PMs are open. (As well as my DMs on discord, username; aviatorchina)

Thank you for taking your time not only to read this, but to feel for everyone affected by this event.
Have a beautiful rest of your day, and stay safe.

Update
Shockwaves have been sent all across the country and many old ancient artefacts have been broken in Myanmar. The death toll has crossed 1600 and the total death toll is estimated at 10,000+. Thank you all for showing your support and we can hope for a better future.

Aviation-wise, many airports have been shut down and Nay Pyi Taw’s airport tower has collapsed.

As someone who has lived through many terrifying earthquakes in Southern California I know the fear and pain they can cause. I’m praying for you all and hope that our Creator bless your area with peace and love during these traumatic times. My heart and condolences go to you and your country.
