9 deaths so far in Taiwan earthquake
The earthquake that struck Taiwan early Wednesday is being viewed as the most powerful earthquake in a quarter century. So far nine people have died in this. While more than 750 people are injured. People had to climb out of the windows of damaged buildings and train service was halted across the island. A tsunami warning was issued, but it was later lifted. The earthquake was centered on rural hills on the coast of Hualien County, where some buildings leaned at severe angles, collapsing their ground floors.
Tiles fell from old buildings about 150 kilometers from the capital of Taipei. Schools immediately sent their students to the playgrounds wearing yellow safety helmets. Some children covered themselves with textbooks to protect themselves from falling objects as the earthquake continued.
