9 dead, over 1,000 injured in Taiwan's strongest q

9 dead, over 1,000 injured in Taiwan's strongest quake in decades At least nine people were killed and more than 1,000 injured Wednesday by a powerful earthquake in Taiwan that damaged dozens of buildings and prompted tsunami warnings as far as Japan and the Philippines before being lifted. Dozens of people were believed safe but 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. Officials said the quake was the strongest to shake the island in 25 years, while warning of more tremors in the days ahead. Strict building regulations and widespread public disaster awareness appear to have staved off a major catastrophe for the earthquake-prone island, which lies near the junction of two tectonic plates. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Taiwan
