Six miners who were trapped in a quarry by the earthquake that hit Taiwan on Wednesday were rescued this Thursday by teams still searching for 101 people stuck in tunnels or isolated mountainous areas.
Taiwan’s Civil Defense Administration released video of a helicopter on two missions to rescue six workers from a gypsum quarry in Hejen, in the Hualien region in the east of the island, near the epicenter of the earthquake.
About 65 people remain trapped in Hualien’s mining areas, although it has not yet been determined whether they were inside or outside the mines at the time of the quake.
At least nine people have been killed and more than 900 injured after an earthquake measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale struck off the coast of Taiwan.
