2024 - 4 - 3

Villapaidat ovat takaisin – entistä parempina!

Hualien - Japani - Jälkijäristykset - Maanjäristykset - Pelastustyö - Taiwan - Tsunamit

Kansan viisaus, "parempi myöhään kuin ei milloinkaan", voisi olla villapaidoista. Suunnitelmasi akkojen kesken ja ystävänmörnertaju tulee seuraavasta.

Taiwanin voimakkain maanjäristys 25 vuoteen on surmannut ainakin seitsemän ihmistä. Keskiviikkona tapahtunut 7,4 magnitudin maanjäristys iski Taiwanin rannikolle, ja ainakin neljä ihmistä on menehtynyt saaren voimakkaimmassa järistyksessä vähintään 25 vuoteen. Pelastustyöntekijät Taiwanissa kamppailevat vapauttaakseen kymmeniä loukkuun jääneitä ihmisiä saaren voimakkaimman maanjäristyksen jälkeen 25 vuoteen. Voimakas maanjäristys, joka iski Taiwanin keskiviikkona ja jonka magnitudi oli 7,4 Yhdysvaltain geologisen tutkimuskeskuksen mukaan, oli voimakkain saarella koskaan koettu. Taiwanilaisviranomaisten mukaan yhdeksän ihmistä on menehtynyt Hualienin piirikunnassa, mukaan lukien kolme retkeilijää, ja yli 800 on loukkaantunut. Voimakkain maanjäristys, joka on iskenyt Taiwaniin 25 vuoteen, keskittyi Hualieniin, jossa se vaurioitti rakennuksia ja aiheutti maanvyörymiä. Tärinöitä tunnettiin myös Japanissa. Vaurioita raportoitiin ympäri saarta, mutta tsunamin uhka Taiwanissa ja Japanissa laski myöhemmin. Taiwanin maanjäristysten seurantaorganisaatio arvioi magnitudiksi 7,2. Raskaat vauriot olivat Hualienin piirikunnassa saaren itärannikolla, uneliaalla, maisemakahvilla alueella, joka on altis maanjäristyksille. Videomateriaali jälkimainingeista näytti 10-kerroksisen...
