Footage by Nina Hsu shows rocks and dirt falling down a cliff onto a highway outside Hualien, Taiwan. #shorts #landslide #earthquake #taiwan In a Facebook post, Hsu recounted the experience. “When the earthquake occurred […] we wanted to drive the car right to the side of the road, then noticed the small rock falling in front, then heard the sound of rolling stones […] and quickly turned left to the open space farther away from the mountain wall,” she wrote, according to a machine translation of her post. On Wednesday, Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency reported the quake as of magnitude 7.2, while the US Geological Survey measured it at 7.4. At least nine people were confirmed to have died. More than a thousand people were injured and 93 people were trapped, according to Taiwan’s National Fire Agency.
