"The earthquake started, so I felt I had to ride my bicycle to work quickly". That is one dedicated worker!

Love to the people of Taiwan from Ireland. I'm so sorry for your troubles 😔
Taiwan is lucky they actually build decent buildings.
Well we learned after 1999
@@NiteAtTheFort yep after 911, they upped their standard for earthquake
@@johnchen0213 the earthquake was on 9/21, not 9/11
Still amazes me how the tallest building in Taiwan barely even swivelled from the earthquake because of the massive counter-weight that was built in the inside of it.
Prayers to the affected areas and families. A tragedy that no one expected and no one wanted it... Be safe... Share and spread moee love...
My wife was scared when it happened, she remembered 25 years ago and never felt something so big since. She had an appointment at the hospital that day, and the multiple aftershocks, people were just chilling in the hospital while the whole building was shaking, carrying on with work.
It's scary to see the buildings lopsided. Thoughts with all those affected by this; I hope Taiwan will recover quickly.
Its not the earthquake but what comes after it
what do you mean? earthquake literally destroys home, buildings, and human by falling debris
@@gridselix tsunami
no tsunami though...@@hb1766
Aftershocks.
@@gridselix how many other bad things can also happen after earthquakes, they can trigger volcanoes and tsunamis and possibly damage a nuclear plants and stuff like that
Turut berdukacita, stay strong 🙏💪
I hope everyone is safe and alright in there, condolences to the victims who have died by this massive Earthquake 🕊
I love the idk if it’s nonchalant way they’re describing the event. Like as if it wasn’t a very big deal. It’s quite calming and at the same time odd to see
Even tho this is a bigger one, as Taiwanese we tend to experience earthquakes probably once a year. A big one every 5 years or so.. the building standard also significantly improved since the major earthquake 25 years ago.
Condolences to the people there my father was fortunately unharmed
Please stay strong, Taiwan🇹🇼
My prayers with U
Prayers for everyone in Taiwan and those who lost their lives rest in peace and those who are injured stay strong and keep being healthy amen
Prayers to those affected 🙏🙏❤️
Prayers for Tsai ing-wen to free the Taiwanese people.

the government has done great work on infrastructures, most buildings are still standing
This is horrible😢
If this had happened in my inddia the casualties would have been in millions because of our poor and weak construction. Everyday somewhere in my country a bridge collapses

Thinking of my friend, Debby in Taiwan.. I hope she is fine. Prayers for all the people who affected by the earthquake. 🙏
It's sad but I have a lot of respect for the strong building laws in Taiwan.......Yes,buildings were leaning after the earthquake but in Turkeyi in the most recent earthquake buildings just completely crumbled.
Turkey had 7,8 earthquake and then just 9 hours later 7,6 second tremor. It was a double disaster. Sooo much more destructive than this one. And Taiwan earthquake happened under the sea, away from the coast. However, Turkey earthquake occured just on land which means just under people’s feet. And it was very shallow. Buildings in Turkey not just weak as everyone presume. Yes we have bad old stock buildings too. But also there are lots of historical buildings that you can not just replace. Even a 2000 year old Roman castle collapsed. Old churches, mosques. Many of them collapsed😢
@@yfk1989Agree with this. Ppl tend to forget that epicenter location plays a big role for how destructive the earthquake is, not only the magnitude value.

Prayers to them
Beijing offered help? I thought Taiwan and China were at odds
politik dan kemanusiaan adalah 2 hal yang berbeda dan harus dipisahkan.
The people affected in the earthquake are Chinese. There are no politics in natural disasters
Actually, I was more surprised that Beijing, who tried to convince the rest of the world they own Taiwan, is “offering” aid as if they are doing them a big favour 🤷🏻♀️
Taiwan construction still standing!! Here in China everyone would dissapear!!
Lol that’s what everyone thinks so many times
Did everyone disappear in the recent earthquake in Mainland?
Looks like taiwan is a ground now😂😂😂
@@XylapyMelody they didn't disappear, they just fall apart easily like tofu.
Can you see clearly where the center of the earthquake is? Of course, it's not important. You make fun of people who are suffering from disasters. Your remarks speak volumes about the quality of people in your area.
Very very sad. My condolences to the people's of the Taiwan.
thank you my friend 🙏🙏🙏
Não sou engenheiro civil, mas estou impressionado com os prédios que ficaram inclinados e inteiros. É provável que se tivessem desmanchado teriam mais vítimas.
Oh nooooo
I feel so sorry for them 😢
台湾的房子质量还真好。。。
毕竟在地震带上，抗震级数要有要求
不是台灣房子特別好，是支那房子特別差。支那韭菜只有被屠宰的命運

I'm praying for all of the residents and rest in peace to those who lost their lives. 🩷
Any aid from USA or Japan?
BIDEN is sending all our money to
Ukraine 🤐🤐😬
Probably no need, even if there is it would probably just be more of a show of support instead of having actual purpose. I live in taipei so I don't fully know the situation in hualien but taiwans infrastructure is very earthquake proof. I think less than 5 buildings collapsed, the only deaths is coming from the landslides. Just an assumption but I think taiwan probably has enough resources/staff to cover the situation by themselves. Would still be nice to see aid tho.
I think they're rich enough
@@aan2931*Japan's also rich. Way richer than your country and yet they still were given aid in 2011. Think before commenting. Smh.*
The U.S. is supporting Ukraine and Israel right now somebody else can pick up the tab for Taiwan!
Heartbreaking and saddened to learn of the earthquake. My prayers are with the victims and those affected. Sending you much love from Sydney AU. Taiwan you are in our Prayers! 😢❤😢❤😢
my deepest condolences to Taiwan, love from Indonesia 🙏
Did that @verylastChang guy being buried alive in one of the collapsed building ?
My thoughts and prayers for all effected by this terrible earthquake
This tragedy had to happen on my birthday. Lord Jesus, I leave the blessings on those who have sadly passed away and help those who are currently mourning for their lost ones.
WOW
ive said it before and ill say it again, if it did happened then it will happen.
Cool murphy
Apparently hualien is always the one that get hits the worst. Thoughts and prayers.
Probably because it's closer to the ocean
life is up and down, you just dont know what is next. so be strong and prepare as much a you can. helps other in needs please. donate
Crazy
That building that became a waterfall is a whole moodd
If you compare how cities in Syria and Turkey looked like after earthquake. Universes in between.
Buildings were made with Temu materials 😂
Those buildings are still holding up better than Scott key bridge

President? 😂

Imagine if American media says it was an artificial earthquake made in China 💀
Prayers for those affected thou 🙏
bro, no one can make artificial earthquake.
@@badguyfromnorthdagon it is already an well researched topic with practical experiments you can search it up 👍

😨No warning was issued for the 7.2 strong earthquake, and Taiwanese people were strongly dissatisfied.
Today, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 occurred in Taiwan, but no "national-level" earthquake warning was received.
Taiwanese people are very dissatisfied.
They criticized that before the election last year, gov sent three "national-level" warning text messages for the China planned satellite launch, but now that a strong earthquake has occurred, did not receive warning at all.
They asked "Executive Chairman" Chen Jianren to explain and review the relevant systems.
Last year, when the mainland had already announced the launch of a satellite, it was able to issue two "national" warnings.
However, this major earthquake failed to notify the public in time.
A strong earthquake in eastern Taiwan this morning (3rd) caused a serious rockfall on the Su-Hua Highway.
The rocks hit a large truck that happened to be passing by.
Unfortunately, the driver of the vehicle died on the spot.
If he receive warning , this may not happen.
No point buying house in Taiwan
No point of buying a house in east Asia in general. It will go all to waste in a second by an earthquake.
@@SayedMuhammadAlSharif I disagree. Most of the flat and real estate in EA and SEA is quake proof. How else do you think they live in the ring of fire without any quake proofing to the buildings?
I agree tho, but not for the reason of the quake. The island, especially the eastern part, is simply not safe. Lots of kidnapping and illegal stuff going on.
Lol, Taiwan is probably the safest place you could live. People here are incredibly friendly and more honest than most places. The earthquake was terrifying, but most buildings are fine. Source: I live here and have for 15 years in a building that is still standing and has been since before I was born.
No point buying a house in Japan, USA, France, Australia, New Zealand etc. They are also facing natural disaster...
😮
Luckily none in my area. I cant stand my expensive rental building getting destroyed😂

I always see heartless animals make fun when a building in mainland collapses. Where are they now?? Hypocrisy much??
It's not hypocrisy, just prejudice. To those trolls, lives in China (or whichever country they have been brainwashed against) are worth less.
They have a strong anti-CPC bias
China is the one who always laugh at their neighbours who suffer from natural disasters….

where are you from? will your country's buildings survive a magnitude 7 earthquake? come on don't be shy, name your country and we will judge.

@@chjin1796it’s still a big earthquake. The mountains slide and yet the buildings are still standing.

You gotta see that our accent is far different than mainland China, when you hear how we speak Mandarin... It's another reason why unification is impossible.
they sounds like people from Xiamen, China. Wait till you hear accent from Guangdong
Yet Taiwanese speak different languages than Japanese but they want to be part of Japan😂.
One of the dumbest comment I have ever seen about China....🤦♂There is no just one accent in the mainland
@@JackbladeWoW go play Roblox and talk to me like an adult
It's an undeniable fact that you are all 100% ethnic Han Chinese. I have been to both Taiwan and China and can't tell the difference. But you are right. Unification is near impossible and the faster CCP realizes this the better for the Chinese people.
