A 6.4 magnitude strong earthquake hit the southern Taiwan early morning on Saturday, with reports say that it hit the city of Tainan. Several buildings collapsed including a 17-story apartment building where over a hundred residents are trapped. Rescue missions are on the way, while death count at least 3 including a small baby 10 years old girl and a 50-years old man and a 55 years old woman. 150 people are reportedly injured but that number will increase as rescuers are rushing to help those trapped inside buildings.
