7.8 on Richter's


According to the State Seismological Bureau (SSB) a major earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale jolted Wenchuan County in southwest China's Sichuan Province at 2:28 p.m. local time, 12. May 2008.

Many parts of China, even the remote southern island province of Hainan, felt the quake. So did Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.
