Search and rescue operations after a 6.4 magnitude
earthquake that struck southern Taiwan
ended Saturday as the death toll rose to 116, Taiwan 's Central News Agency
reported.
The last trapped person was rescued alive
on Saturday afternoon, the city's disaster response office said.
A total of 289 people were rescued, 96 people remain in hospital.
Most of the fatalities and injuries came
from the collapse of the Weiguan Golden Dragon high-rise tower in Tainan , the response
center said.
Aerial images in the immediate aftermath of
the temblor showed the Weiguan Golden Dragon tower transformed into rubble.
Structures around it remained intact.
Rescuers found tin cans packed into the
collapsed walls of the high-rise.

buildings in Tainan
that are still standing. Why was it only this building that was completely

Three people, all former executives of the
company that built the collapsed apartment building, were arrested Tuesday and
face charges of professional negligence resulting in death.
