Taiwan Struck by 2nd Strong Earthquake in as Many Days
A landslide trapped nearly 400 tourists on a mountain in Yuli famous for the orange day lilies that blanket its slopes this time of year, the Central News Agency said. They had no electricity and a weak cellphone signal.
A canopy on a platform at Dongli station in Fuli town, which is between Yuli and the quake's epicenter at Chishang, hit a train, leaving three of the cars tilted at an angle, the agency said, citing the railway administration. The ceiling on the 5th floor of a sports center in Taoyuan city collapsed, leaving a 36-year-old man injured.
The shaking was felt at the north end of the island in the capital, Taipei. In Taoyuan city, west of Taipei and 210 kilometers north of the epicenter, a man was injured when a ceiling collapsed on the fifth floor of a sports center. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory for several southern Japanese islands near Taiwan, but later lifted it.
