ByWallySantana The Associated Press TAIPEI, TAIWAN Rescuers in the southern Taiwan- ese city of Tainan pulled out 221 people from two residential high-rises that collapsed when a shallow 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck before dawn Satur- day, leaving still others trapped inside. Firefighters and soldiers scrambled to the site with ladders, cranes and other equipment and extracted dazed survivors from the buildings that were lying on one side of the road. The Tainan city govern- ment said 221 people have been rescued to far, and that 115 were hospitalized. It said two people suffered cardiac arrest. Taiwan's official news agency said a 10-day-old infant and a 40-year-old man were found in critical conditions when they were pulled out of a 17-story Wei Guan residential building, where at least 200 people were believed to have been living in about 60 house- holds. Rescuers also pulled out others from the sec- ond Wei Guan high-rise, which had 16 floors and housed 150 families. The road where the building is located had gas leaks and water pipe ruptures, the news agency said. Several other buildings also were collapsed or par- tially damaged, while doz- ens were rescued from a market and another seven-floor building, the Central News Agency re- ported. A bank building also careened, but no injuries were reported, it said. As dawn broke, live Tai- wanese TV showed survi- vors being brought gin- gerly from the high-rise buildings, including an elderly woman in a neck brace and others wrapped in blankets. The trappings of daily life — a partially crushed air conditioner, pieces of a metal balcony, windows — lay twisted in rubble. People with their arms around firefighters were being helped from the building, and cranes were being used to search dark- ened parts of the struc- ture for survivors. News- casters said other areas of the city were still be- ing canvassed for possible damage. Men in camouflage uni- forms, apparently mili- tary personnel, marched into one area of collapse carrying large shovels.
