- Yahoo! Maktoob/Seban Scaria -
A massive earthquake has struck the border region of Pakistan and Iran sending tremors across the Gulf and South Asia. In Iran it is believed that 87 people were killed and 400 injured.
The massive magnitude 8.0 earthquake struck at about 2.45pm. In Dubai the streets filled up with people and traffic as office towers were evacuated.
Local UAE press reported that the earthquake was 15.2km deep.
It is the second time in a week that the UAE has been hit by tremors. The last quake struck south west Iran on April 10 killing 37 people and injuring 850, and devastating infrastructures.
As people stood on the streets waiting for some guidance many took to online social forums.
“Loads of buildings in Dubai Media City evacuated after earthquake,” Tweeted Ben Flannagan.
“Dubai is shaken by its second earthquake in a week. Epicentre of last week’s was in Iran, this one felt much closer, evacuations underway.” Gary Meenaghan added.
Maysa, who works in Dubai’s Media City said she ran down 40 floors: “It felt really strange.”
Rosale who works on the 45th floor of a Dubai Media City tower, said: “When we heard the announcement to evacuate we just ran.”
