28.03.2025 โ‡ข Day Myanmar Quake Devastated Bangkok As Vance Claimed Greenland
โŒจA 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar early morning, causing severe damage hundreds of miles away in Bangkok where a skyscraper collapsed, trapping dozens. Thailand declared Bangkok a disaster area as the death toll climbed to over 140 by afternoon.

King Charles remained hospitalized with "temporary side effects" from cancer treatment, continuing yesterday's health concerns.

International tensions escalated as US Vice President Vance visited Greenland despite a "frosty welcome" from locals. By evening, Vance declared military force unnecessary as "Greenlanders will want to join US" after independence, while Trump revealed his interest in the territory.

Other developments included a "hero Brit" tackling a knifeman in Amsterdam, earning mayoral recognition, and Brexit champion Nigel Farage criticizing Trump. The high street faced further decline with news of WH Smith's name disappearing after a ยฃ76 million sale and predictions of 17,000 shop closures this year.
