Search Continues for Survivors of Taiwan Quake
At least four people, including an 8-year-old girl, were rescued from a toppled high rise apartment building in Taiwan Monday. Search and rescue crews believe there are more than 100 people still buried under the debris.
Authorities say they've rescued 170 people since a 6.4 magnitude quake struck on Saturday.
One of them, Tsao Wei-ling, called out "Here I am," as rescuers dug through to find her, Taiwan's Eastern Broadcasting Corp. reported.
She was found under the body of her husband, who had shielded her from a collapsed beam, the government-run Central News Agency reported.
Tsao's husband and 2-year-son were found dead, and five other members of the family remained unaccounted for.
Family members of the missing are becoming frustrated with the lack of information. Some demanded to speak with rescue workers directly.
While Taiwan frequently gets rattled by earthquakes, most are minor and cause little to no damage. In 1999, a magnitude-7.6 quake in central Taiwan killed more than 2,300 people.
