Another severe earthquake in Taiwan, one day after the earthquake in which at least six people died and injured more than 250. The earthquake on Wednesday had a magnitude of 5.7 on the Richter scale and occurred 24 hours after 6.4 which occurred on the eastern coast of the island, writes Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, the balance sheet of Tuesday's earthquake near Hualien City has reached six dead, 256 wounded and 76 missing people, Taiwanese authorities have said.
Rescue teams continue to intervene and rescue those left behind the ruins of buildings collapsed as a result of the earthquake. Firefighters went up huge stairs to reach the windows of buildings and save the people inside.
The images captured in the Hualien hurricane show that at least four buildings have moved and even if they are not completely collapsed, their ground floor is destroyed and can not enter them.
According to specialists, it has come to this situation was caused by the liquefaction of the soil - when the soil under the buildings loses its solidity being subjected to strong changes, such as an earthquake.
Taiwan is located in an area with intense seismic activity and buildings are built to withstand high-intensity earthquakes. But at certain time intervals, material damage and even human life, as happened on Tuesday, are also occurring.
