Pictures of
the apartment complex destroyed in the Taiwan earthquake on Saturday
show that its walls appear to have been built using empty cooking oil
cans. {ACTUALLY it clearly says "Kansai Paint" on the cans}
Rescuers
are racing against time to save more than 125 people stuck beneath the
rubble of the block of flats in Tainan, Taiwan after a powerful
earthquake struck the southern part of the island on Saturday.
The
death toll for the 6.4 magnitude earthquake has now reached 24, with 22
of the victims found in the toppled Tainan building including a
ten-day-old girl and two other children.
While
Tainan's government says the building had obtained its construction
permit legally, images show large rectangular, commercial cans of
cooking-oil packed inside wall cavities exposed by the damage,
apparently having been used as building material.
