SINGAPORE: When rescuers from Singapore’s Operation Lionheart arrived in Myanmar one day after a massive earthquake struck the country, they were stunned to see long stretches of buildings flattened by the temblor.

But at site after site, the team of 80 people kept their composure and searched under piles of rubble for any hope of life after the 7.7-magnitude quake on Friday (March 28) killed more than 2,700 people in Myanmar.
