Following the devastating earthquake that struck Taiwan, a group of 50 hotel employees in Hualien County found themselves trapped while traveling to work in minibuses. For most of Wednesday, their whereabouts were unknown until three workers managed to reach the Silks Place Hotel in Taroko Gorge and confirm the safety of the rest of the group. The Taiwan Central News Agency reported this positive development.
Video footage released by the fire agency on Thursday revealed some of the stranded hotel staff inside a road tunnel in the gorge, with their van showing visible signs of damage. A voice in the video can be heard confirming the discovery of the trapped individuals, bringing a sense of relief to the situation.
