More pulled out alive after Taiwan quake, about 120 people still trapped-Reuters By Yimou Lee-FEB 7,16-YAHOONEWS

TAINAN, Taiwan (Reuters) - Rescuers in Taiwan pulled more people alive from a collapsed apartment tower on Sunday, a day after a strong earthquake shook the island, and kept searching for about 120 people still believed trapped in the ruins of the building.Those found alive include a 20-year-old identified by Taiwan media as Huang Kuang-wei and another man in his 20s surnamed Kuo, who was able to walk out from the rubble, supported by rescuers. Both were sent to hospital.Firefighters, police, soldiers and volunteers combed through the ruins, some using their hands, watched anxiously by dozens of the victims' family members who wore thick jackets, woolen hats and scarves on a chilly morning."She's not answering my phone calls ... I am trying to hold my emotions and stay strong. I'll do that until I find her," said a woman surnamed Chang, 42, waiting to hear from her 24-year-old daughter who lived on the fifth floor of the complex."Nothing matters but to get her out. The lady living across the hallway was rescued yesterday. I know they will find her, but I have also planned for the worst. It's been more than 20 hours now."At least 23 people are known to have died in the quake, which struck at about 4 a.m. on Saturday, at the beginning of a Lunar New Year holiday, including 16 found in the collapsed Wei-guan Golden Dragon Building in the southern city of Tainan.Around 120 people are still beneath the rubble of the commercial-residential block, with most them trapped deep in the wreckage, the government said.Bodies continue to be found, including those of two sisters, aged 18 and 23, Taiwanese media reported.The building's lower floors pancaked on top of each other in the 6.4 magnitude quake and then the whole structure toppled, raising immediate questions about the quality of materials and workmanship used in its construction in the 1990s.-QUESTIONS-Speaking earlier in the day, Tainan Mayor William Lai told reporters efforts were focusing on 29 people who are closest to the rescuers, with lighter equipment like drills being used."The other 103 are believed to be at the lower floors of the building, and we can't find an accessible route to those areas at the moment."The extent of damage to the Golden Dragon Building has raised questions.Liu Shih-chung, Tainan city government deputy secretary general, said television footage of its ruins suggested the possibility of structural problems related to poor-quality reinforced steel and cement.However, city officials have said it is too early to say for certain if poor construction was a factor in the collapse.Authorities said the building had 96 apartments and 256 registered residents, though more people were inside when it collapsed.Rescuers wearing red and yellow overalls pulled more than 240 survivors from the ruins and inserted huge supports under slabs of leaning concrete as they searched for additional survivors.Buildings in nine other locations in the city of 2 million people had collapsed and five were left tilting at alarming angles.(Additional reporting by J.R.

Taiwan quake kills at least eight, fells apartment block-Reuters By Faith Hung and Pichi Chuang-FEB 6,16-YAHOONEWS

TAINAN, Taiwan (Reuters) - A powerful earthquake struck Taiwan early on Saturday killing at least eight people, most in a 17-storey apartment building that collapsed, with five people still missing in the ruins of the complex as darkness fell.As rescuers searched for survivors, questions were raised about the construction of the Wei-guan Golden Dragon Building in the southern city of Tainan, with its floors that pancaked down on each other when the 6.4 magnitude tremor hit at around 4 a.m. (3.00 p.m. ET), at the start of a Lunar New Year holiday.Six of the dead, including a 10-day-old girl, were from the apartment building.Rescuers mounted hydraulic ladders and a crane to scour the ruins, plucking more than 220 survivors to safety, with dozens taken to hospital, a fire brigade official said.Buildings in nine other locations in the city of 2 million people had collapsed and five were left tilting at alarming angles, a government emergency center said.But a fire department official said rescue efforts were focused on the apartment block, where a child's clothes fluttered from a first-floor laundry line and the smell of leaking gas hung in the air."I was watching TV and after a sudden burst of shaking, I heard a boom. I opened my metal door and saw the building opposite fall down," said a 71-year-old neighbor who gave his name as Chang.A plumber, he said he fetched some tools and a ladder and prised some window bars open to rescue a woman crying for help."She asked me to go back and rescue her husband, child, but I was afraid of a gas explosion so I didn't go in. At the time there were more people calling for help, but my ladder wasn't long enough so there was no way to save them."The quake was centered 43 km (27 miles) southeast of Tainan, at a depth of 23 km (14 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey said.An elderly woman, wrapped in blankets, was strapped to a board and slowly slid down a ramp to the ground as the cries of those still trapped rang out. Rescuers used dogs and acoustic equipment to pick up signs of life in the rubble.Authorities said there were 96 apartment units and 256 people living in the collapsed building.As a chilly night approached, city mayor William Lai told reporters five people were still missing in the Golden Dragon Building.Rescuers clad in red overalls pulled 250 survivors from the ruins and later inserted huge supports under slabs of leaning concrete to buttress the ruins as they searched for more.The fire department said 115 people had been taken to hospital from around Tainan.-SEVERAL BUILDINGS DAMAGED-City officials said it was too early to determine if poor construction was a factor in the collapse of the apartment building.Liu Shih-chung, city government deputy secretary general, said television footage of the ruins of the commercial-residential building suggested the possibility of structural problems related to poor-quality reinforced steel and cement.The construction and engineering companies that built the complex are no longer operating, records showed.Two neighbors said they had felt nervous about the construction when the building was going up in the early 1990s."I looked at it and thought, only people from out of town would buy there. We local people would never dare," said one of the neighbors, Yang Shu-mei.A major earthquake in central Taiwan in 1999 killed about 2,400 people and caused damage across the island, which lies in the seismically active "Pacific Ring of Fire".President Ma Ying-jeou visited an emergency center and hospital in Tainan while President-elect Tsai Ing-wen canceled appointments to help coordinate rescue efforts.China's Taiwan Affairs Office, which is in charge of Beijing's relations with the self-ruled island, said China was willing to provide help if needed, Chinese state news agency Xinhua said. Beijing regards Taiwan as a wayward province.Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) <2330 .tw="">, the world's largest contract chipmaker and supplier to Apple Inc , said some wafers made in Tainan had been damaged, affecting no more than 1 percent of first-quarter shipments.Other major Apple suppliers in Taiwan reported no impact on operations.(Reporting by Faith Hung and Pichi Chuang; Additional reporting by Yimou Lee, J.R.

Many Trapped in Toppled Building After 6.4-Magnitude Earthquake Hits Taiwan-Sirens reportedly wailed in the southern city of Tainan, where two buildings were said to have toppled-By Wally Santana-necn

AP-Rescuers are seen entering an office building that collapsed on its side from an early morning earthquake in Tainan, southern Taiwan, Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016. A 6.4-magnitude earthquake has struck southern Taiwan, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.A 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck southern Taiwan early Saturday, toppling at least one high-rise residential building and trapping people inside. Firefighters rushed to pull out survivors.Firefighters scrambled to the site with ladders, cranes and other equipment and pulled survivors from the building in the southern city of Tainan, footage from local TV broadcasters showed. It was unclear how many people were trapped inside. Some reports said dozens or scores of people might have been in the building at the time of the collapse.The Taiwanese news website ET Today reported that two buildings toppled in Tainan, and that some water and gas utility pipes had ruptured. Sirens were wailing as city authorities responded to the quake, the news website said.The temblor struck about 4 a.m. local time (8 p.m. GMT Friday). It was located some 22 miles southeast of Yujing, and struck about 6 miles underground, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.It was felt as a lengthy, rolling shake in the capital, Taipei, on the other side of the island. But Taipei was quiet, with no sense of emergency or obvious damage just before dawn.About two hours after the tremor, Taiwanese television showed live images of a rescue at a partially collapsed building in Tainan. In it, rescue workers operating under the glare of floodlights combed through twisted concrete and metal and encountering people, apparently residents, who appeared dazed but uninjured.Other footage showed people with their arms around firefighters being helped from the building, and cranes were being used to search darkened parts of the structure for survivors. Newscasters said other areas of the city were still being canvassed for possible damage.
