Firemen cleared the debris from a collapsed building 10 weeks after a devastating earthquake struck Myanmar.

Footage shows emergency services using heavy equipment to lift rubble from the apartment block that was flattened by the tremors in Mandalay on June 3.

The 12-storey Sky Villa condominium had been touted as having an 'earthquake-resistant foundation' but it crumbled during the quake.

Five days after the quake, Burmese beauty queen Silimee, 28, was found dead in the wreckage of the condo.

The Myanmar Fire Services Department said: 'Myanmar National Fire Force, along with the vehicles of Myanmar Fire Force, are clearing and removing the dead bodies from Mandalay City Sky Villa Building A and B Dormitory.'

The US Geological Survey said the magnitude 7.7 tremor struck at a depth of 10 kilometres (six miles), and was centred in Myanmar, around 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Monywa, along the Sagaing fault.

Residents fled their homes when the tremors hit on March 28. The earthquake destroyed buildings, bridges, and dams, leaving widespread devastation, inclyding in neighbouring Thailand were an office tower collapsed.

Local media reported 3,732 deaths, 5,104 injuries, and approximately 75 people missing across six regions and states, with 653 survivors rescued and 809 bodies recovered.
