Rescue efforts in Taiwan on Thursday are currently focused on more than 60 individuals who are stranded in a quarry in Hualien. Additionally, authorities are working diligently to reach those who are cut off in the surrounding mountain gorges, as per the latest update.
Drone footage obtained from a source affiliate, CTS, revealed workers at the damaged quarry perched precariously on the edge of a steep cliff high above the gorge. Tragically, one person lost their life due to rockfall in a separate quarry. However, there is a glimmer of hope as six other workers were successfully rescued. Dramatic video footage released by the fire agency showcased a helicopter performing a daring airlift operation to rescue these individuals from a narrow outcrop of rock situated high up in the mountains.
