This is the strongest earthquake in Taiwan in 25 years, causing at least 26 buildings to collapse. According to Taiwanese media reports, a building collapsed and residents were suspected to be trapped inside. People nearby were very nervous about this. The building collapsed instantly. Dust was flying and the scene was in a mess.
In addition to causing the collapse of buildings, the earthquake also caused serious landslides. Huge rocks slid down from the mountains, smashing the cars on the road into dilapidated conditions, and causing serious damage to windshields and car shells. What is shocking is that there is still a driver in the car who did not evacuate in time. After the driver saw that the car was hit by a boulder, he left the car angrily while making a phone call, which felt a bit like surviving a disaster.
Affected by the earthquake, the 4S store also collapsed. The roof collapsed and fell, causing serious damage to many cars.
According to reactions from netizens, the earthquake was felt across the country. Among them, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Ningde, Shenzhen and other places felt the earthquake more strongly.
Netizens from all over the country left messages saying that Shantou was also shaken by an earthquake. This was the first time in my life that I felt an earthquake. I was shaken at my work station until I felt like vomiting. I prayed that the compatriots on the other side of the river would be safe. Local people reported that they felt the earthquake clearly, with chandeliers shaking in many homes and water in fish tanks shaking strongly.
MTR said that due to the earthquake near Hualien County, Taiwan, some train services from Hong Kong West Kowloon High Speed Rail Station to Xiamen and Chaoshan Station will be canceled or delayed.
A tourist in Hualien said that he has felt multiple aftershocks and the sirens of ambulances are constantly blaring on the streets. The station is currently out of service. Many passengers are waiting on the platform and the train station is crowded with people.
