Dozens are feared dead after two residential high rises collapsed following a devastating 6.4 magnitude earthquake in Taiwan.
Officials in the southern city of Tainan have already pulled three bodies from the rubble, including a 10-day-old baby, but there are potentially hundreds still trapped underneath the concrete.
Between them, the 17 and seven-storey blocks may have been home to as many as 600 people, more than half of whom are missing.
