Taiwan Hit by Strongest Earthquake in 25 Years

Taiwan Hit by Strongest Earthquake in 25 Years
The entire island of Taiwan was hit by a strong earthquake with magnitude 7.7 on April 3. According to the Taiwanese Central Weather Administration, the epicentre of the quake was in waters off the eastern coastline of Taiwan. It collapsed buildings in a southern city and created a tsunami that washed ashore on southern Japanese islands. Train service was also suspended across the island of 23 million people. However, things quickly returned to normal in the capital city of Taipei. This was reportedly the strongest earthquake after tremors with magnitude 7.6 struck the island in 1999, killing 2,400 people and destroying 5,000 buildings.

It won't, and neither will all coastal cities and island nations. A massive worldwide geological event that is causing the Atlantic ocean to widen and the Pacific to compress is unfolding right before our eyes.

If that kind of strong earthquake hit my city, i think most of the buildings will collapse. It is amazing that buildings in taiwan can withstand the earthquake as strong as this.

[@suzibillball]

There are many other places where the buildings are in far more danger than Taiwan.

[@harsh65971]

Wow what quality of civil engineering Taiwan has. Mind blown 🤯🤯

[@VagishaDas]

nice to hear that there are not many causalities. I hope all my friends are ok. Taiwan is better built than most of Asian countries. So less damage and loss of life.

[@sbusisomathebula1534]

Yes loss of life is not good but this is just the beginning worse will the world been doing this reset cleansing for long time Global warming not real it's just Mystory not history look back research understand and accept.

as a Tiawanese, i don't even know the first footage . Even the news did not report.

[@civtegrar]

I know it’s sad that 9 people died. But Taiwan knows how to build buildings this proves that corruption is low in Taiwan. Because if that was in any other country like China or Turkey, it would have been a big disaster.

Too much disaster the global community is facing because of climate change and this needs to be addressed with fierce urgency for humanity to survive. Still the governing bodies of every nation choose to ignore this catastrophic and imminent disaster and while spending billions for military hardware to kill each other and hasten the extinction of man as is seen in Ukraine and Palestine. I pray that reason replaces the greed and idiocy and peace prevails.

[@AntWC1982]

Has nothing to do with climate change learn about earthquakes. Smh

[@LaurnBedingfield]

I remember reading about the shift or possible shift of the tectonic plates due to the melting of ice world wide. Seems that ice a mile thick over a continent is heavy causing the crust to sink. Melt the ice and it comes back. Creating the earthquake?

[@Michaelong29]

I hope everyone is safe and sound. Authorities may need to look at the structural integrity of many of its buildings after this

Wait for the big one to rock Indonesia and California?! Expect volcanic activity to increase exponentially.

Komentar saya,sekarang di berbagai tempat bermunculan musibah dan bentuknya rupa rupa,jika para manusia tetap melakukan yg seperti sekarang,siap siap bencana yg siap menghakimi para manusia dan menghancurkan harta bendanya,tapi jika para manusia segera sadar,bahwa hidup ini ada Tuhan sang pencipta dan sang pencipta mengatur semua makhluknya,maksudnya agar Dunia ini tetap nyaman untuk para manusia yg kita tempati,jika para manusia sungguh sungguh beriman dan takwa Dunia tidak seperti sekarang,menyembah Tuhan yg sama dan percaya nabi yg benar,maksudnya menjadi muslim yg taat sama Tuhannya,bahkan nantinya akan di beri petunjuk agar mengerjakan apa saja hanya pakai otaknya dan matanya,jadi tangan dan kaki dan mulut tidak di pakai,tidak seperti sekarang masih masih serba manual atau masih ecek ecek.
