This is strike the island 25 years the quake Hit Ring Mning Magnitude of sev this dash camera video captures the violent joke sharply rocking these cars and a busnd Bringing Traff to standstill and take a look at this video, the earthquake is triggered,andslides, likthe one you see redozens of people have been freed from off. Dens more fading help. Were covering all the angles right . Now seen as i been watson is in taiwans capital of type eight. Ive been whats the latest what are you seeing as far as the rescue efforts are underway . Right . Well, as you pointed out, well if this was the most powerful earthquake to hit this island in a quarter century, people are used to earthquakes here, but even my kylie colleagues behind the camera, one of them shaken awake this morning, another one running to embrace and hold on to his his wife and children as things started falling off the walls, and taipei is a good hundred miles away from the epicenter in while again, county that is this rugged, mountainous region that is popular for tourists to try to go there and for hiking for the cliffs and very high mountains. And its largely cut off from the north of the island because of avalanches and landslides. Some of the people that have been killed there, they were killed by falling rocks. One person killed by iraq hitting hey, im on, on a highway. Others, hikers who were hit on a hiking trail there had been rescued going out throughout the day up to 70 people that were trapped in different Highway Tunnels where they were blocked off by avalanches fortunately rescued, but the authorities are saying theres still perhaps around 140 people in different parts of that county that are still cut off and still requiring rescue and we dont really have any account from the authorities on what their situation is right now. Take a listen to survivors of this earthquake if the wholuse was going felt to topple all the things. Hello, improvthings damaged now, here in taipei even though the traffic is moving and it feels like life as usual, theres still one hospital that is reportedly not fully functional because of some damage it had. There were about 100 buildings that reported damage. Theyre still rescue efforts that are underway right now. Were the 900 people injured in this disaster and there are still aftershocks. The taiwanese authorities are predicting that you could still get aftershocks as powerful as 7. 0 magnitude over the next three to four days. The Us Geological survey has repoed 40 more than two dozen aftershocks, some with a magnitude of five and six and that is hitting areas that have already been very much shaken up by the power of this historic earthquake. Yeah, im really worried about those aftershocks. You stay safe over there, ivan. Thank you very, very much. Want to go to the cnn Weather Center right now . He urologist elisa raffa is joining us. Elisa, why is this area seemingly so prone to earthquakes . They are so prone and we call it the ring of fire. This is where our Tectonic Plates that make up the earth, all kind of meet. And where they meet at that point, they can move. Weve got live Magma Underneath and once they move, they can move, they collide, they can crash. And thats where we get the earthquakes and you can see southeast asia, eastern asia, all the way up to japan is really ground zero for where we get all this seismic activity thats where more than 450 of our volcanoes are, 90 of the worlds earthquakes, all happened in this region because thats where the Tectonic Plates now, this Seven Plus Point Magnitude Earthquake is kind where rare worldwide, we only see about 15 of them per year. You can see this more. Well ones are much, much more common, but when you get the big one, the destruction is just incredible. Were looking at buildings that are crooked, toppled, Upside Down Rescue Missions needing to happen all day and like i mentioned, were going into the night. So an incredibly massive seven Point Magnitude Earthquake on the east coast, theyre of taiwan. There actually were some tsunami alerts overnight. Those have been cleared and we have had on 29 aftershocks that have been four point magnitude or higher. Most of them have been on the order of five point magnitude food. So those aftershocks can really do even more damage, except especially for the structures that are already vulnerable. Theyre already cricket, an upside down as we go through the next couple of days, taiwan is looking at some showers so that could really hurt some of the rescue and some of the Cleanup Efforts there, wolff all right. Well watch it together with you at least a rough at the cnn Weather Center. Thank you very much meanwhile, President Biden is expressing his anger and grief over the senseless deaths of aid workers in an israeli airstrike Seven Members of the Nonprofit Organization world Central Kitchen were killed Monday In Gaza while delivering food to starving civilians. The organization has since paused its operations in gaza. In a statement, President Biden said he was outraged and heartbroken. Israel says the strike was a grave mistake and has vowed to investigate. Meanwhile, world Central Kitchen has shared the names of those workers calling them Beautiful Soul and heroes and in an oped for the new york times, the organizations founder, Chef Jose Andres rights. And im quoting him now israel is better than the way this war is being waged. It is better than blocking food and medicine to civilians. It is better than killing aid workers who had coordinated their movements with the Israel Defense forces are White House CorrespondentPriscilla Alvarez is with me here in the cnn newsroom. Priscilla, were hearing some fiery language also from the president of the United States. Yes. And that term outrage, that is significant, that is one of the strongest terms that President Biden has used. So far in discussing israels war against its hamas. And he said it in his statement overnight. Now we know within the white house that for frustration has been raised among the president and his top aides as this continues to unfold, culminating in what was very blunt language in the Statement Last night, let me read you part of that. It says this is not a standalone incident. This conflict has been one of the worst in recent memory in terms of how many aid workers have been killed. This is a major reason why distributing humanitarian aid in gaza has been so difficult because israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians incidents like yesterdays simply should not happen. Now of course what this also has political ramifications for the president here at home. And on tuesday, the president met with Muslim AmericanCommunity Leaders to talk about the situation as a whole, but also the deaths of these world Central Kitchen employees. One of those participants did walk out just showing you that even in these most intimate settings, there are protests against the president and his policy. A Palestinian American doctor walked out to protest the Biden Administrations policies towards israel during this entire war in gaza. As you know, priscilla, the us is planning to sell dozens of additional 15 fighter jets to israel. Is the white house facing increased pressure right now to stop sending these weapons, including bombs to israel right now, they have continued to face pressure from members of their own Party Democrats who say that there should be restrictions on this type of aid that the us could provide to israel in the absence of humanitarian aid. Going into gaza, or the release of hostages. Now, this 18 billion f15 sale would require congressional notification. So there is still process that needs to unfold here, but theres no doubt that the white house continues to face questions and pressure from democratic lawmakers over whether this is the right thing to do, and whether there should be conditioned the shins or restrictions on the type of aid thats provided as the humanitarian crisis worsens and gaza and Congress Needs to authorize and approved appropriate the funds for these ffts as well. Priscilla alvarez. Thank you very much for that update that joining us now, cnn political and National Security analysts, david sanger david israel knows everyone and then everything seemingly that goes in and out of gaza. They are watching it so closely. So how did this happen its a remarkable set of events. Wolf and he is rarely have said theyre conducting an investigation which would be followed by what they call an independent investigation is not clear who would be be conducting that. But they have not given us a detailed account yet of what happened. And there are few interesting elements just based on what priscilla just mentioned to you about the white house response here the use of the word outrage was unusual, but the president did not say that he was going to do anything differently. In other words, he could put conditions on the sale of those 2000 pound bombs and say, you cannot use them in gaza just the way we put conditions. The United States puts conditions on arms and go to ukraine and they say, you cannot use them to launch a into russia but so far the white house has declined to do that. It has declined to say that it would affect its own investigation into whether us weapons were used in these killing so weve heard a much stronger words in the president. But so far we havent seen much stronger action. I want you to listen, david, to what the Chief Of Staff of the Israeli Military said about this strike, that killed these workers from the world Central Kitchen was a mistake that followed a misidentification at night during a war in a very complex conditions it shouldnt have happened is that the wo with hamas, not with the people of gaza. We are thoroughly for the unintentional harm to the members of wck the president of his drop president herzi, i did call chef for jose andres to apologize. Israel as apologizing, taking responsibility for the strike, but david, will this change israels Military Tactics in gaza moving forward . Well, so far we havent heard any indication of that. And i think its a big step that they have immediately said this was a mistake, that it was them that they had no intention of doing this but theres an alternative possibility here. The president has been pressing and others have been pressing the israelis for some time to not only provide access into gaza, for the food and other supplies, but then they help assure that they could get distributed to civilian and this convoy clearly did not have the protection around it of israeli troops are israeli vehicles moving around it had the israelis been moving with them or near them . Then clearly, they wouldve it wouldve been clear to the idf that this was a civilian relief effort, even though the cars were quite clearly mark. So i think one of the Big Questions is just do the israelis now have to actually escort the food in . So that the idf is invested and taking time and resources into this. And so far that has not happened. And as we pointed out, david, the president s statement was a pretty strong rebuke of this attack by israel, but it didnt come with any specific Policy Changes on the part of the United States so do you think this could represent potentially a Turning Point and President Bidens approach to israels war in gaza thats the big question. And its a question that people in the white house will not answer. We just had a lengthy briefing from john kirby is spokesman for the National Security council and he condemned this in the same language that the president and used but stopped short of saying that there would be any Policy Changes if in fact us weapons were involved in this when we dont know that for a fact that would give some leverage the provision of additional 2000 pound bombs is something that is raised a lot of questions. Ive had members of congress, even today tell me they were questioning this because those bombs are exactly the kind that seemed to cause why the injury when used in dense civilian areas so i think the white house, which is sort of avoided these questions in public while theyve been debating them in private. I suspect theyre going to have to come up with some answers, but i could be wrong on that. We will find out sooner rather than later. David sanger, as usual. Thank you very much. For your expertise. So before we go an Important Note to all of our viewers, david has a brand new and very important book coming out on april 16th. Thats not very far away. April 16th.
