    Wow...I never thought that buildings in Taiwan are so strong and don't collapse even if the ground subsides

    Even with so a strong earthquake, the building Holds up and does not collapse killing everyone in it!
    Great buildings and laws in the country follow the procedures and you can see the results in hard times like this.
    Praying for Taiwan you will deal with the consequences! ❤❤❤

      If the earthquake makes roads and land under buildings swell or go below ground, it can either partially or totally collapse. If you google earthquake cracks, part of it is high and part low. I am not in Taiwan but where I am, had 7.8, and that was scary. People died in hotel and school collapse and other partial collapse (some with no fatalities but injury) up north nearest the epicenter.

    I was in my work building in new Taipei. Suddenly it happened. I went under the desk. Computer screens, and other stuff were falling down. Scary and longest moments in my life.
