QUAKE ROCKS TAIWAN

TAIWAN was ravaged by its most powerful earthquake in 25 years yesterday, killing at least nine people and injuring more than 900.

The tremors in the east coast of the country, rated at 7.4-magnitude by the United States Geological Survey, also left 127 people trapped in fallen buildings and collapsed mountain tunnels, with rescuers battling to reach them.

In Hualien, 11 miles north of the epicentre, highrises and offices designed to withstand quakes leaned at precarious angles.
