'Whole Building Began To Move..': Tourists Recall Earthquake Horror In Bangkok

Tourists in Thailand's capital were caught up in chaos on Friday following a strong earthquake which rocked the region causing "screaming and panic" inside a shopping mall and on the streets as people evacuated. Fraser Morton, a tourist who was in one of Bangkok's many malls shopping for camera equipment, said when the building began to move there was panic and people were "running the wrong way down the escalators." Paul Vincent, a tourist from England, saw water coming from the top of one tall building and other buildings swaying. "There was a lot of screaming and panicking," he said.
