The quake hit during the morning commute.
And look at this, this dash camera video just capturing
traffic coming to a standstill as it all happens in
the highway,
very clearly beginning to shake.
And then there's also this one man.
He was in a rooftop swimming pool when it all
started.
You can see the massive waves that were caused by
the tremors.
We're also getting a look of how it unfolded inside
one television studio.
Watch this.
Cortana. Oh my God.
So scary from so scary,
no matter what the angle is that we're showing you
here from all of this video,
let's get right over to CN NS Hanukkah Montgomery,
who's tracking all of this for us from Tokyo Hanukkah.
What's the latest?
Hi, Kate. I mean, yeah,
like you saw there really,
really alarming footage coming out of Taiwan this morning,
local time. So as you mentioned,
we know that at least nine people were left dead
and more than 900 people were actually left injured because
of this very powerful earthquake and the subsequent aftershocks.
We also know that of the nine people who died,
all of them were killed in Kuala LAN County where,
you know, it was very close to the epicenter and
actually where most of the significant damage has been taking
place.
And just for context. County is located on the eastern
coast of Taiwan.
It's a very popular tourist destination.
It's also a rural area and coincidentally where most of
Taiwanese earthquakes actually occur.
So we also know that 56 people were trapped in
Kuala Lumpur County.
Originally that number was up to 131,
but rescue operators were able to rescue all the people
trapped in those tunnels to safety.
