The U.S. Geological Survey reported that a 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck off the southeastern coast of Taiwan two days ago. Although the earthquake lasted only a few seconds, buildings such as apartments and shopping malls were shaken in Chishang and Yali towns. Due to this, people fled the buildings in fear and sought refuge in safer places.
In a video posted on Instagram, drone cameras showed the collapse of a 600-meter-long bridge in Taiwan. In addition, the full extent of the bridge was shown on video, with views of the watercourses and beautiful landscape, as well as the extent of the bridge’s damage.
This bridge, which has an amazing beauty to look at, is also connected to many tourist sites. A shocking video of such a special bridge collapse is going viral on the internet. It is noteworthy that many such special buildings were damaged by the earthquake.
The Japan Meteorological Agency withdrew its tsunami warning for the country’s southern islands adjacent to Taiwan after the earthquake.
