Last night I was watching the movie: BELOW and there was a scene in the film when the enemy ships attacks the submarine and the whole boat was shaking for the bombing.....and believe me guys...just at that point of time I was feeling that my mattress was moving or felt like someone is trying to jerking it! At first, I thought that perhaps it was my hallucination or something like that but just then I saw my bedside drinking bottle's water was also shaking! Then I fully understood & believed it's an earth quake!! I live at the roof top room of our apartment building, so I was feeling more or less hopeless at that time...I just ran out from the room and some seconds later it stopped.
After a while our local news channels confirmed the incident.
Here is the details:
A moderate Earth Quake shook northeastern Bangladesh last night. The 4.9-magnitude quake was centred 115 kilometres (70 miles) north of the capital Dhaka at a depth of 5.2 kilometres and struck at 12:51 am (1851 GMT Saturday).
A meteorologist at Bangladesh's Storm Warning Centre said it had measured the quake at 5.6 on the Richter scale, according to local media reports.

Anyways, I highly enjoyed the movie...it'll be on my mind for a quite some time.
