00:05 The Taiwan Hualien area has experienced a 7.2 magnitude earthquake at 7.58 am today.
00:11 The depth of the earthquake is 15.5 kilometers.
00:14 Taiwan has experienced a strong sense of earthquake and the size of the earthquake is constant.
00:18 The authorities pointed out that this earthquake is the most serious earthquake in Taiwan since the 1999 921 earthquake.
00:25 The 7.2 magnitude earthquake is equivalent to the release of 32 atomic bombs.
00:31 The Hualien County, which is close to the central city, has reached a 6-level earthquake.
00:34 The disaster is the most serious.
00:35 At present, at least nine people have died and more than 900 people have been injured.
00:39 Three of the dead were mountaineers who were killed by the falling stones.
00:44 Another person was a driver who was hit by a car with a stone that was cleared by the mud.
00:49 When the rescue team arrived at the scene, the whole car was almost smashed and crushed.
00:55 There are also many buildings in Hualien that have been severely eroded after the earthquake.
00:58 Some houses have collapsed.
01:00 Some areas are still out of power.
01:03 Thousands of residents have been affected.
01:05 The Taiwan Meteorological Bureau pointed out that in the next three days, there may be another 7-level earthquake.
01:11 This is because the energy accumulation will not be released because of an earthquake.
01:15 Therefore, there will still be a 7-level earthquake in three days.
01:21 Therefore, people are urged to pay attention to earthquake warnings and take measures to avoid earthquakes.
01:29 The Taiwan Hualien Ocean has just experienced a 7.2-level earthquake.
01:33 The earthquake caused a huge shake.
01:35 The cars on the road were constantly swaying.
01:38 Even in the train, people could not stand still.
01:42 The bridges and light poles on the road were shaking.
01:45 Even the swimming pool on the high-rise building was shaken to the point that the pool was like a waterfall.
01:51 In Hualien, near the city of Zhenyang, the 7.2-level earthquake has caused at least two buildings to be severely eroded.
01:59 "Is there anyone inside? Don't touch the wires. It's dangerous."
02:03 "It's terrible. Oh my God. What is this?"
02:06 Yes, it's very scary.
02:08 After the earthquake, the two buildings in the camera were already shaking and shaking.
02:14 Some people were trapped inside and the children were pulled out.
02:20 The rescue team rushed to the scene to help.
02:23 The shaking caused a lot of people to be trapped.
02:28 A large mountain fell in Hualien.
02:31 The scene was covered in sand.
02:33 When the earthquake happened, the two teachers in Hualien and Taidong, near Zhenyang, said
02:40 "The strong shaking and continuous shaking caused the buildings to be severely damaged,
02:45 the traffic was cut off, even the water and electricity were cut off, and the tsunami warning was issued."
02:50 "It was around 7.58 today.
02:53 Most people in Taiwan have heard of the Taiwan mobile phone alarm system.
02:57 Even if they haven't heard of it, they will be shocked because the shock is very strong.
03:00 If we talk about the history of the Taiwan earthquake, it should be only in the year 1999.
03:05 The remaining shock has not been cut off.
03:07 It has been more than 50 times since the earthquake.
03:10 What we know now is that the Shuhua Highway has been cut off.
03:14 Some places have been affected by the toxic water.
03:16 Their water towers have also collapsed, so they have to stop the water and electricity.
03:19 Then there are several buildings in the city that have collapsed.
03:21 Because I received the tsunami warning,
03:24 I was afraid that if the tsunami really came in, it would affect the safety of students.
03:28 So all the staff came to our top floor to gather.
03:33 There were still very big shocks in the follow-up.
03:35 Many ceilings in our school fell off.
03:38 It was the ceiling of the office.
03:40 The water pipes in the student dormitory were all fallen off.
03:47 Some brick walls on the wall were also fallen off.
03:52 The interviewee, Liu Taisheng, also described that the earthquake was very violent.
03:58 Things in the dormitory were scattered all over the floor.
04:00 The wall was shattered and dust flew.
04:03 It was the first time in Taiwan that there was such a strong earthquake.
04:06 Everyone was inevitably very scared.
04:09 We were all sleeping at that time.
04:11 Then we were awakened.
04:13 We hid under the table at the first time.
04:16 Because it was the first time we felt such a strong sense of shock.
04:19 It was getting stronger and stronger.
04:20 Then I started to find something wrong.
04:22 I started to look for my roommates and wake them up.
04:25 Then I saw that my roommates were dead.
04:26 Then I hid under the table with him.
04:28 The dormitory was very messy.
04:29 Things flew out.
04:31 The fire extinguisher in the corridor also flew to the ground.
04:33 I was really scared at that time.
04:35 Then the first thought was to run away quickly.
04:37 I was afraid that the dust was very serious.
04:40 And the walls were cracked.
04:42 I was in a different situation from them.
04:43 They were sleeping.
04:44 When the earthquake happened, I was on the road.
04:46 I found that the road was not right.
04:48 I kept shaking.
04:49 I don't know if I was shaking or I was dizzy or I was shaking on the ground.
04:52 Suddenly, the whole person was shaking.
04:54 Then I didn't know what to find to support myself.
04:56 Some cars collapsed on the road.
04:59 Then some people fell down.
05:06 The Taiwan-Hualien Strait has just experienced an earthquake of level 7.2.
05:10 The Philippine Volcano Earthquake Research Institute has issued a tsunami warning.
05:15 It has ordered residents in the coastal areas to evacuate to high ground or move inland.
05:20 In addition to the Philippines, the Japanese Meteorological Agency has also issued a tsunami warning for the island of Chosheng.
05:25 The local airport has also suspended the take-off and landing of civil aircraft.
05:28 The flight to Chosheng Island has been changed.
05:32 A large number of passengers are stranded at the airport.
05:35 However, the Japanese Meteorological Agency has already lifted the tsunami warning.
05:38 Chosheng Napa Airport has also been reopened.
