Just in from Taiwan news media.
A hotel was reported collapsed this afternoon and rescue workers are on site working through the debris to find for survival.
After that investigation will then commence.

Oh Dear. Hope there are only injuries and no casualties. A few years back, a Taiwan hotel also collapsed killing a number of people.

This look almost identical to a collapse earlier this year. I thought it's old news if not for the date: 1st October.

Right now the location where the old hotel collapsed is raining heavily.
Initial finding reported that there is no one in the old hotel.
This old hotel is supposed to be demolished. Vehicle parked outside of the hotel confirmed to be in the debris.

Great to hear this that no one inside.
