#Taiwan #Earthquake #NaturalDisaster #News
7.4 is a big earthquake. Impressive how well their infrastructure has held up. Sending best wishes from California to the people of Taiwan for a smooth recovery from this. My heart goes out to those who are still trapped.

Taiwan infrastructure has earthquakes in mind. Their tallest building in Taipei, which was once the tallest in the world, holds a damper that mitigates major earthquakes like this.
Thank you for coming forward and making a statement.
I agree
It's by Taiwanese not china 😂
Maybe I'm pessimistic, but their infrastructure handled this earthquake amazingly well!
It’s because Taiwan is right next to the edge of a tectonic plate which is prone to a lot of earthquakes, so their buildings are specifically designed to withstand earthquakes
* optimistic
The odd building fell down, like the wedge-shaped one at the corner of Xuanyuan Road and Huagang Street in Hualien. There are some horrifying pictures of that (the 9-floor reddish - and now very lopsided - building).
Maybe you're thinking of China.
@@ntl5983 I expected a worse outcome. Thus, pessimistic.
Now compare that with Turkey earthquake, anti-earthquake engineering is essential in those dangerous areas and Taiwan seems to have pulled through with relatively minor damages.
Learned from our mistakes back by 921 earthquake
They have very strict laws and are always improving themselves. It’s remarkable
Turkey has crooked and corrupt government officials. They told care about infrastructure safety.😢😢
@@M_SC strict laws only to those built after 1999
İn turkey i was in earthquake and it last 2 min, asia and arabic continent moved even egypt felt earthquake and depth of earhtquake is 5km not 38. effects of destroy is @5 times more then this earthquake you can check from some videos
When buildings and structures in general are designed properly, damage from earthquakes are minor. Just think how many lives were saved due to the excellent work of the Taiwanese architects, engineers and builders. However, even if only one life is lost, I consider this as a tragedy. I pray for you guys. Be strong!
"Damage", not "damages". "Damages" are monies awarded by a judge in a lawsuit.

@mosseisleyYT weird
@@mosseisleyYT nobody asked
@@quite812 Nobody asked. (initial capital; period). Perhaps you should try asking things. It's one way to learn.
I am Taiwanese.I am very happy for all the concern you've shown for Taiwan regarding the recent earthquake. Thank you very much.❤❤
がんばれ台湾🇹🇼from🇯🇵
Sending prayers from India, stay safe🙏
Hey mother nature is NOT an enemy but when she stretches and groans (be it from out doing or not),we need to be ready,and willing to help each other when times like these happen!!😁✌️🥃
How are the trapped miners doing? Does anyone know? What province of Taiwan is this mine located?
Prayers frome oman 🇴🇲 to Taiwan 🇹🇼
Of the 9 casualties:
8 are outdoor: 4 (3 hikers, one worker) on trail of Taroko National Park, 1 trucker on the road, 1 driver on parking lot, 1 near tunnel, 1 worker by the road, all caused by falling rocks
1 is indoor: for the heavily tilted red building, rescuers initially successfully evacuated all 23 people inside, however, one woman decided to go back in to save her cat. Unfortunately, 15 seconds after she entered, the aftershock came, she was pinned by crumbled structures.
I heard 9 hikers died.. thats what my tiwanesse friend said
That's amazing. In an earthquake you want to be outdoors so those stats surprise me.
謝謝你向國際友人清楚解說
@@The_Ballo他們健行的路線是在地質脆弱的山中，無可躲避
@@adelineshi664 There was a 7.6 quake near a mountain I did a rock climb once. The climb would go to the top of the mountain, but the earthquake took off the top part or about 10m of the route. Another climb on a different mountain had a climb I'll never get to do as the entire 30m cap stone is now gone. All that said, I would rather be outside than inside during an earthquake!
my mom is at taiwan to visit my grandma. thankfully they are safe and did not feel anything
早日康复。希望你们能尽快治愈地震的创伤。当土耳其发生7.8级、7.6级地震时，我们的国家、台湾国家和人民与我们同在。我们失去了近 50,000 名公民，我的整个社区和我居住的城市都被摧毁了。您的痛苦也是我们的。希望你早日康复，回到过去的日子，我们为你祈祷。😢🤲🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for the prayers ❤
When we had the 921 earthquake, the Turkish rescue team helped us so much. We will never forget that.
@@psyrmc 🙏🏼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
The trained searching rescue dogs is something we learned from turkey, back to 1999.Sep.21 earthquake.
I still remember turkey sent rescue teams and those dogs impressed Taiwanese a lot.
Same as Polish rescue teams helped Turkey last time.Luckily in Poland we don’t have earthquakes.
@@darekcoventry 🇵🇱❤️🇹🇷
Pray for Taiwan ❤
praying doesn't do anything
@@beaulieuc8910 It does.
I unsubscribe to you because you support Taiwan
@@UncleClifford1972 lol, you poor thing.
Taiwan is China
this could’ve easily been so much worse.
this is why building codes are important.
This can be said about anything, what a useless comment
Could of brought a tsunami.
@@celtickshatriya4306 very important to figure out the cause of the problem rather than the source. I bet some causes made some more enemies being that low to the ground digging a hole to china with shovels
@@celtickshatriya4306actually it’s unlikely happened, you could check the geography first
we have straight and high cliff at the east coast, it’s hard for tsunami to climb that high
for the west coast, unless the earthquake happens at west southern part of Taiwan, it’s hard to generate tsunami (last time was 150 years ago
if this really happened, then that would be a catastrophe earthquake for Taiwan
some great infrastructure
I lived there are was amazed. At first I was terrified by all the earthquakes and then I used to almost enjoy the rocking of my high rise building.
@M_SC lol I’m glad your ok
@@M_SCThis is a very special experience. This kind of experience can only be experienced in high-rise buildings in developed countries in earthquake zones. I am Taiwanese, so I am used to it. The building will shake from side to side like jelly.
Hope everyone is ok
Frightening to see. Hoping for everyone's safety. ♥️
Hope everybody is okay and safe...😕
Prayers for all in Taiwan. I can't imagine what y'all are going through right now. Aloha from Hawaii
Aloha, Pinay! 👋
thank you❤
Sending best wishes from Australia to the people of Taiwan for a smooth recovery from this. My heart goes out to those who are still trapped.
謝謝你🙏🙏
There is a car running away from the smoke @0:15.
That was close.
When movies take place in the real world
The car is Nissan x trail ,It is become a hot news.
people here call him Vin Diesel in taiwan
The images are terrifying, but it's amazing how well they have planned and designed the infrastructure for this.
Comfort to the people of Taiwan. ❤

My ex landlord goes and stays in Taiwan all the time... He was the 1st friend that I made in New York. We used to perform in magic shows together. I hope he's okay. He is truly a unique awesomely eccentric man who is from Taiwan!
I'm born in America but i'm half chinese/latina. I moved to Taiwan and it's been ten years. I felt little earthquake during those Years. But this was the first strongest earthquake i felt, luckily i'm unharmed. But others ain't so lucky and It's so heartwarming to have support from other countries!! ❤❤❤
Pray for Taiwan
いつも日本を何度も助けてくれてありがとう、今度は私たちが台湾を助けたい😢❤
日本也幫助台灣很多，感謝你們☺️我們是永遠的朋友🇹🇼❤️🇯🇵
I'm amazed at how calmly and organised the Taiwanese people filed out of buildings. Yes, the fear on their faces was real, but they stayed calm.
Hopefully, there weren't too many casualties and my condolences to the families who lost loved ones.
Prayers to Taiwan ❤
Praying for Taiwanese people from India 🇮🇳
How terrifying for everyone. Thoughts from Canada❤
it is amazing how people saw the landslide happening and they keep watching instead of running away as far as possible.
No where is safe in an earthquake like that. They might end up running into other things falling down.
They would prob be to busy taking there phones out to film it then to realize they are about to die
我們台灣人不怕中國的導彈，更不怕地震。
Not all people have the chance to see landslide xd 😂 I am TW in west area ,but don’t have high mountain here
The terrain there is long and narrow, with mountains on the left and the sea on the other.
😨 I hope you're safe there... No more aftershocks PLEASE....
0:46 Holy smokes 😮😮
Praying for all in Taiwan. 🙏
Praying for the safety, peace, security and health of everyone affected.
I'm so sorry... Love and solidarity from Italy. ♥️
Praying for you guys
does nothing
@@beaulieuc8910your mom does nothing
@beaulieuc8910 😂 it does more then you have your whole life.
I work in downtown Seattle and my biggest fear is being near a high-rise construction site during a massive earthquake here! Even then, working in a high-rise hotel scares me as well. We just had a small tremor back in November so it's got so many residents on edge.
Prayers to Taiwan and all its habitants ❤
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.
Pray for Taiwan!!❤️
Absolutely terrifying.
crazy, look like someone shaking the camera , WOW
Sorry for your lost.I hope things go easier and better for all of you.😢
Stay safe Taiwan . We are with you
Don’t worry too much.
Major earthquakes in Taiwan occur roughly every 25 years. The 921 earthquake in 1999 was the biggest earthquake I’ve ever experienced. The epicenter was in Nantou, and the quake was so powerful that it caused the ground to arch up to the height of two stories. The second floor became the first floor, and the first floor was buried underground like a basement.
After 25 years, the Hualien earthquake occurred, but based on time estimates, it might be another 25 years before we encounter another earthquake over magnitude 7. After the release of energy, Taiwan is actually safer.
呃……板塊的移動不可預測，但安全釋放能量是好的
Pray for Taiwanese people at this time. From Dunk island .
So scary
High quality Taiwanese building constructed structures. Look like strong Lego connection used with Gorilla Glue
Hope everyone is okay
I was in Taiwan, it was a beautiful experience to me but the highways and Hualien is soo hilly, I prayed hard that no earthquake happened during my travel there but 4 months later this happened
This is crazy
A keen reminder of how truly inconsequential we are.
Sending you prayers and love from india.
prayers don't work
Praying for Taiwan🙏🙏🙏
So?
Ooh my goodness.
scary!!!
Absolutely horrifying!
I hope that help will be brought as soon as possible and that everyone will be safe quickly and that everything will be fine
Lucky cat @ 0:54....whew! That was close!
O,que está acontecendo é muito triste.
hope everyone is ok
We just had an earthquake in new England today this are getting bad
Can't believe none of these people had a steady cam..
My deepest condolences and prayers for the people of Taiwan itself 💔😢✝️🙏
Having experience of been in one of those things, it's not what you think at all.
Confusion sums it up, really.
Hope everyone ok
some won't be
I've been through more than 30 earthquakes, biggest was 6.4 that lasted over 50 seconds. The sound, the ground motion, the shaking...THE HORROR.
Just imagine the people there 😮😢😮
The amount of footage from different angles we have when things like this happen now is insane. Before we would have to dig deep to find new perspectives, now we're getting compilations packed in a 1 minute video.
Rip for those 🙏🏻
😱 PRAYERS to those affected 🙏🇹🇼 💐
Dang!!
當?
When this happened
I live across the water. Earthquake zone too. Godbless friends
What time was the quake in Taiwan?? I live near coastal area north of San Francisco, CA and felt a quick jolt earthquake last night , Tuesday April 2nd around 8:20 pm. Connected??
Happened at 7:58am GMT+8
Please all stay safe.❤
Amazing
During an earthquake things which are normally stable will tend to move at the frequency of the earth below!
Would love to see footage of the pendulum inside the 101
どうか皆さんご無事で！
It was really scary even for Taiwan people that are used to earthquake, luckily most people are ok.
Hope everyone is safe . Little ❤ from Malaysia
You just know there was a guy setting up the final domino on some huge, super intricate design he'd been working on for days when the quake hit.
台湾加油！！🇹🇼
日本人不会忘记他们对我们的帮助
Ouch😢
That will buff out
Very dangerous
Shame that’s terrible 😢
Stay safe ❤
0:10 That is some waterfall..
OH MY LIFE
That's not fun
My prayers go out to the Taiwan people. It's devastating.
doesn't help
That is so terrifying. I am happy that lives were saved by quality engineering. Prayers to Taiwan 🙏🏿
Тайвань прекрасная страна, живут в ней замечательные люди, культурные, приветливые, совершенно бескорыстные, очень печально, что приходится сталкиваться с таким буйством природы.
🙏🙏🙏🙏 JUST MAKE SURE NO ONE GETS INJURED AND IS COMPLETELY SAFE🙏🙏🙏🙏
The mountain is still trembling in Taiwan 😿
Don't even
Youll see people commenting like
"What about the people in Gaza who are all being killed and starved by genocide?"
Workle uradasablar dkb ynden dkrler
0:13 fast and furious
That looks like a 🌋 volcano
Nothing scarier than Mother Nature
Someone make sure ray is ok
They just had another 3 large quakes just now …
