#Taiwan #Earthquake #TSMC
Climate change will increase these events.
Ya well it’s happened before and it wasn’t climate change just like all the 500 and thousand year storms have happened before mother earth is alive and will cleanse her self from human cancer started all over
I’m not so sure about earthquakes, bud
climate changes but what does that have to with earthquakes? braindead comment
BULL…Has nothing to do with the Climate…Has to do with our sun and the magnet field…The earth is going to flip like it has always done in the past.
Brain washed lib Trump hater
No news is good news!
May Taiwan be relieved from all their sufferings. I hope to see how they endure such calamities. May God be with them.
Is Ray ok?
Proof in Taiwan the building are way stronger than USA, to stay in one piece while leaning 😮😮😮
@Henrysingh I would not say the buildings are stronger. It appears that they are leaning due to earthquake proofing of the buildings. Which is a wise move on Taiwan’s government part since they do sit within the Ring of Fire.
The buildings in Taiwan are not built to withstand earthquakes…You see little if any damage in the United States from earthquakes…The earthquake was not that big and was out in the Ocean not on land.
LOL
@@RonWuerchlol are you serious? Taiwan, like Japan, is located in an earthquake zone, and all houses are designed to withstand earthquakes. The fact that there were hardly any significant casualties or damages from this 7.2 magnitude earthquake proves the exact opposite of what you say.
I DON’T BELIEVE WHAT I’M SEEING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE LEANING TOWER OF TAIWAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly that damage seems light for the richter
Seems like the CCP would choose now to advance on Formosa
China living in your head rent free 🏡😂
They are surrounding them now.
May Taiwan be relieved from all their sufferings. I hope to see how they endure such calamities. May God be with them.
😢😢😢
This is the Lord’s way of warning Mainland China to mend its’ ways.
Support akhand China 😊
I hope people were not injured.
Taiwan is very strong they will handle this better then most could. I think only japan has a equal response to earthquakes.
In Taiwan people say : mild quake No need to run，big earthquake Can’t run away

Could this earthquake also trigger a tsunami?

The Qingming Festival celebrates the dead. When you go against God the creator you will not have good results. God is trying to wake them up. May the people of Taiwan come to the knowledge of the truth. Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by Him.
Taiwan is China. Xi Xinping will assist Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Cheng-ti and Chang Kai-Shekker minority that is dying off, not Pelosi and Pentagon. U.S. bases and CIA intel operations will vacate. No U.S. taxpayer money appropriated for funding weapons, SALARIES, INTEL SYSTEMS, humanitarian aid, nor RECONSTRUCTION concerning proxy war theaters in Taiwan/South China Sea, The Ukraine, Isreal/Gaza, Pakistan, and/or contested areas of U.S.’s Dec ’23 Russia/Mexico/Cuba Continental Shelf Extension.

I am a big sorry for the scary years that comes after this….⬇️⬇️🌵
Hi
Extremely interesting and informative.
They’re going to be feeling aftershocks for months. It’s scary.
God Elohim gave us a way to be safe from these last disasters through the Passover. Please partake in the Passover and recieve Gods blessing.
Mark 1:15 Bible
“And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” (Jesus Christ)
The magnitude that struck turkey .
The Leaning Tower of Taiwan!
God help our friends and Rip for the dead. Condolences to the families.
