Approximately nine people have been killed and more than 900 injured on Wednesday by a powerful earthquake in Taiwan that prompted tsunami warnings that extended to Japan and the Philippines before being lifted.
Asides the dozens of buildings that were damaged, a good number of people were unreachable in areas cut off by massive landslides triggered by the quake — many in tunnels that cut through the mountains that bisect the island from north to south.
While speaking to news men some officials disclosed that the quake was the strongest to shake the island in decades, and warned of more tremors in the days ahead.
Social media was on Wednesday awash with shared video and images from around the island of buildings swaying as the quake struck.
