Videos show aftermath of Taiwan earthquake as search and rescue efforts continue 

In case anyone wonders, the driver of the car hit by the boulder was perfectly fine.

My opinion. I live in Taiwan. I’ve driven that road twice recently. What people don’t realize is that there are possibly more than 20 traffic tunnels along that road. Some of these tunnels are more than 10km long. Most are not short distance tunnels. In most tunnels there are an intercom system so they can communicate with those inside of the tunnel. These tunnels are designed for emergencies and to get trapped people out. I think these tunnels saved 100s of lives that time of the day. The Taiwanese culture is a cooperative hive culture. They are proactive, smart and hard working. I have a lot of respect for the discipline I’ve witnessed being part of their world for many years.

Prayers for Taiwan from California. Very impressed with the degree of preparation and competence.

I've seen a few of these videos and they keep showing the same building over & over & over again. That's a HUGE testament of Taiwan's earthquake preparation.

I am so sorry for people who are hurt and impacted by the earthquakes. I couldn’t help but noticed that the surrounding buildings of the tilted one remain standing. And how does the rest part of the tilted building remains intact after hundreds of aftershocks? The resilience of Taiwanese people is amazing! They taught their children well.

Praying for the people of Taiwan. I hope they find all the missing people alive.

1:15 As a Taiwanese, must tell CBS News, that school its more like in PRChina, first the news clips is from china CCTV, And look the national flag, is more like PRC five star flag, not ROC Taiwan's Flag, So that its probably not in Taiwan eng by translated

Earthquakes are DEVASTATING 😭 We must all come together helping others in that unfortunate events!!!

Get well soon Taiwán ❤

I believe the guy was telling the drone someone has a broken leg.

This is So sad, I wish The Great country of Taiwan Good .

1:15 That's the footage from mainland China, not from Taiwan. Editor should remove it!!!😢

Thank God! Uranus Building in Hualien. A female teacher who had escaped died because he ran home to save his cat and encountered an aftershock. This was the only person who died because of the building. Many people are missing or dead. They are all on roads in mountainous areas. On the Central Trans-Highway and Su-Hua Highway in mountainous areas of Taiwan, people cannot escape due to earthquakes.

Praying for all the people of Taiwan.... Most especially those directly affected by the temblor....🙏🙏🙏

Just to be clear, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake is 4 times stronger than a 7.4 one. Having said that, it's still very admirable how well prepared the Taiwanese are.

From the PHILIPPINES🙏🤝🙏

Heartbreaking to see the aftermath of the earthquake. Sending thoughts and prayers to those affected and gratitude to the search and rescue teams working tirelessly. 🙏

The Taipei 101 building has 101 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. Every eight floors is a structural unit, which are connected to each other and stacked layer by layer to form the whole. The Taipei 101 foundation construction project lasted a total of 15 months, with 700,000 tons of soil dug out. The foundation piles were composed of 382 reinforced concrete piles and were dug 80 meters into the ground. Because of its large and deep foundation, Taipei 101 is as stable as a giant aircraft carrier sunk 80 meters into the ground and is not afraid of earthquake shaking. It is a miracle that Taiwan's superb construction technology can build such strong buildings in earthquake-prone Taiwan. TSMC, the world's largest semiconductor manufacturing plant, has its huge semiconductor manufacturing plants built using rigorous and earthquake-resistant technology. Therefore, this strong earthquake in Taiwan barely caused any damage to TSMC's sophisticated and expensive semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The resumption rate exceeded 80% the next day, making the world no longer worried about semiconductor supply shortages. Taiwan's building regulations stipulate that every building must be designed with a strong air defense shelter basement. Taiwan was able to withstand this 7.4-magnitude earthquake. The energy it released was as powerful as 32 atomic bombs. Only 10 people died in Taiwan, nearly a thousand were injured, and only two buildings collapsed. If China attacks Taiwan and launches countless missiles, Taiwan's buildings are strong and will not be afraid of China's missile attacks.

Taiwan, you are in my Prayers ....

Our almighty father n heaven please help for pray. Godblessed Taiwan 🇹🇼 Tina lorenzo Philippines

Taiwan is a strong nation ❤ A salute to the rescuers who faced danger as they saved lives.

Ughh...that car being hit 🪨 😳😒😑. Prayers. Be well and be at peace.

My condolences to victims

UHGM THAT ROCK hitting car Looked CGI !!

Sending prayers to Taiwan 🇹🇼

Los drones se han vuelto unas herramientas fantásticas para el rescate, excelente.

Guy signaling to the drone that two people have broken legs. Clever.

Image the the west coast when big quake comes this year

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very dangerous

It was soo scary during the earhquake ive never for get in my life. exact 7:58 am i ride elevator and then few seconds its shaking to bad and trapped in elevator my gosh so lucky everyone is safe .

🙏🙏🙏

😢

Alfule😢

Allah protect everyone.. Amen

It’s better to watch the news on mute nowadays

8:26 kneed + break Again the woman waving her hands Gestures to her. Knees, then camera clip cuts to road damage. Does anyone else catch that?

Has there been Aftershocks an how big?

Es positivo que comparten conocimiento político aunque ya la mayoría tiene su candidatos.

Dios mío ten misericordia del mundo 🌍

6:56, those excavator operators are risking their lives.

There was another aftershock a few minutes ago just before I watched this.

5:52 I'm just curious of how good is the grilled corn that's been mentioned in the conversation. The man said the first thing first he arrived there was to go get it and even talking about it after such an earthquake.

In 2012 everyone through that it is the end. Now after 12 years we are seeing more scary things, more earth quakes in diff places. Unpredictable life.

0:22 😮

8:24 The man standing left of the other man waving the red flag seemed to suggest 2 people broke their legs, and the front half of the bus behind him is crushed! CORRECTION: Someone else in the comments said it was just one guy with 2 broken legs.

🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼

Thoughts with Everyone 💜🙏💜

My thoughts and prayers are with all affected!

Not everyone received the early warning though. I mean they send an early warning but not this time. I think no one received from the dorm I lived at.

Bro came down like weeee and hit a car🤣🤣

8:25 The man next to red flag guy was trying to tell the rescue team: some one’s leg was broken. But this two rescue team guys were counting the total number of vehicles and possible injuries at the scene, hasn’t seen his information.

🙏🏻🙏🏻💗🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pls say asianray and his family are all safe❤️❤️

My god

Prayers for Taiwanese

Where are embassies?

Pray for Taiwan.

You said “strongest earthquake of the century.”

8:27 Sadly, a 17 years old high school student who was having a part-time job at the Taroko Village Hotel broke his both legs when the bus be crashed by a giant rock. His parents decided to extubate him after he was brain dead.

Im Taiwanese. considering it's 7.4 M quake, the damage is little, compare with 1999/9/21 which is 7.3M ,it cause 2000+ deaths. we are fine.

"Strongest earthquake this century"... seriously?? this century is still in the '20's, a long ways to go.

Алматыда болғанда вообще 80% здание құлайтын еді

Some foundations were incompetent

Where is the real coverage of the earthquake aftermath?!??

Prayers for all those poor people

TSMC

3:57 a magnitude 7.2 is NOT “similar” to a magnitude 7.8. The earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria released just under 8x more energy than the one that his Taiwan.

What are those hats they had the children put on?

At 7:14, through the glass you can see a woman walking around on the top floor of the crazy tipped over building. Imagine trying to get down the stairs when the building is leaning like that.

No coincidence….Godzilla has awoken..

where is the Tarzan

Seismic coefficient, also known as earthquake-resistant coefficient, refers to the horizontal acceleration coefficient in earthquake zones. It is the estimated maximum ground acceleration value (G: gravitational acceleration) that may occur in a region during an earthquake. 0.25G to 0.4G is considered a strong earthquake of magnitude 6, while above 0.4G is a major earthquake of magnitude 7. After the 921 Great Earthquake in Taiwan in 1999, the government made nationwide amendments to the "Earthquake-resistant Design Code for Buildings" and the "Concrete Structure Design Code". The "design seismic force" regulations were changed from "moderate earthquake zone" to "strong earthquake zone" for all areas except Taipei and Kaohsiung. The design seismic force was also adjusted from 0.23G to 0.33G. Since 2003, all buildings with building permits issued by the Taiwanese government can withstand a magnitude 6 strong earthquake. Since 2006, for buildings with building permits issued after 2006, excellent construction companies have deliberately improve the earthquake resistance coefficient to 0.4G, which means that their buildings can withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake. In addition, the use of steel is a basic element of earthquake resistance. The steel used in high-rise buildings constructed in Taiwan in recent decades is new steel, and no processed scrap steel is used to ensure earthquake resistance.

LOL at CBS news going to their London bureau to report on Taiwan. Because, of course, a reporter in London is more likely to know more about the situation in East Asia than one in New York or California will.

What happened to the street people who cook food?

Thou shall have no other God.

is there apartments for rent in the slanted building?

The heads will roll. The guy said “country” several times. China will not leave it like that!

They are trying to recuse those cats trapped in the half-falling building. Hopefully the pet chickens on the top of the building can be rescued too.

Why did it seem like Ian was flirting with that little girl? Why was that Chinese school footage played? Seems they tried to play it off as a Taiwanese school to interview that little girl.

1:15 It's not in Taiwan.👎🏻

Isaiah 24:19 19 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is split apart, the earth is violently shaken.

இன்றிருப்போர் நாளையிங்கே இருப்பதென்ன உண்மை இதை எண்ணிடாமல் சேர்த்துவைத்துக் காத்து என்ன நன்மை இந்த தத்துவப் பாடல்களை மனிதர்கள் எண்ணிப்பார்க்கவேண்டும்

WOWWWWW end times

I'm surprised there are bananas and coconuts in Taiwan

США надо прекратить войну! А то и к ним придет такое , бог покажет им силу свою! Заниматься надо своими внутренними проблемами. Они поймут когда к ним придет беда!

Higher fatalities and hundreds missing.

Believing or not it's artificial earthquake

Warning the Busy world From Allah

7.8 in turkey is 4x stronger than 7.4 in Taiwan bc of the logarithmic Richter scale. So while valid taiwans infrastructure is much better, it’s a relatively poor comparison.

..........Praying for the SAINTS of JESUS CHRIST the Lord in TAIWAN: as they help the hurting people; helping those who having lost a family member, having died due to the Earth Quake. To give Comfort and Peace to the family members. This is only possible through JESUS CHRIST the Lord, The Son of GOD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL. Truly, MESSIAH JESUS is THE PRINCE OF PEACE, to the hurting and grieving Souls of the family. The family members that are alive....JESUS is the GOD OF SALVATION for their Souls. To be SAVED FROM SIN, to be RECONCILED to the TRUE LIVING and LOVING GOD....MESSIAH JESUS. Read his WORDS OF LIFE, BELIEVE through FAITH...you shall be SAVED. Ref: PSALM 41:4, ISAIAH 1:18, 53:1-12, JOHN 3:3-7, ACTS 2:38. Amen. THINK ON THESE THINGS.

212 / 5,000 keyboard Translation results Translation result Old news, we're tired of it, it's always the same thing, don't forget that Taiwan is the most modern place in the world, buildings tilted at 45 degrees and don't fall, no Trump here, Europe is not the USA, long live Europe and Asia

Taiwan has to seek the "Black Amituofo" rescue! "Amituofo" 🙏🙏🙏

The reason why Chinese don’t like the number 4. This happen on 4/4/2024

Actually Taiwanese have seen a very destructive

Why are people always surprised by death and destruction from earthquakes especially on islands and coastlines?

i love Republic of China

Where was Buddha napping or taking a break?
