Rescuers in Taiwan face the threat of further landslides and rockfalls in their search for a dozen people still missing from this week's earthquake, as the death toll rose to 12 and some of the stranded were brought to safety.
"Rain increases the risks of rockfalls and landslides, which are currently the biggest challenges," said Su Yu-ming, the leader of a search team helping the rescue effort. It dropped from the list of missing an Indian national whose inclusion it called a mistake, but did not elaborate."I am lucky to survive," said David Chen, 63, a security manager at the hotel, after his rescue."We were terrified when the earthquake first happened. We thought it was all over, all over, all over, because it was an earthquake, right?"
"I was happy when he returned," said the mother, Chen Lan-chih."I didn't sleep at all last night and couldn't eat anything."
