Sirens rang out at the precise time the quake struck on Friday, bringing the country to a standstill to remember those lost. Myanmar held a minute's silence on Tuesday in tribute to victims of a catastrophic earthquake that has killed more than 2,000 people, buckling roads and flattening buildings as far away as Bangkok. Four days after the shallow 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck , many people in Myanmar are still sleeping outdoors, either unable to return to ruined homes or afraid of further aftershocks. Sirens rang out at 12:51:02 (0621 GMT) -- the precise time the quake struck on Friday -- bringing the country to a standstill to remember those lost. Mandalay, the country's second-biggest city with 1.7 million inhabitants, suffered some of the worst destruction. Outside the Sky Villa apartment complex, one of the city's worst-hit disaster sites , rescue workers stopped and lined up with hands clasped behind their backs to pay their respects.
