The Shetland Bus convoys were part of the Norwegian branch of the SOE, supporting the resistance movement in Norway.

Hundreds of kilometres away, the former imam of Myoma mosque, Soe Nay Oo, felt the quake in the Thai border town of Mae Sot.

There are indications that the worshippers had tried to escape, according to Soe Nay Oo, who has received multiple reports from surviving members of his community.

Among the many loved ones Soe Nay Oo lost was one of his wife's cousins.

"She was the one who showed her love to us the most," said Soe Nay Oo.
