Death toll rises to over 1,600 in Myanmar earthquake

The powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck three countries in Asia on Friday has claimed more than 1,600 lives in Myanmar alone with the city of Mandalay in ruins and aid efforts in and out of the region severely hampered. In neighbouring Thailand, at least 10 people were killed, most in a high-rise building collapsed under construction. Candice Cole reports on the frantic search for survivors.
