Horror quakes will cause mass death & devastation around world unless we build properly, expert says

AT least nine people have been killed and 821 injured after a huge 7.7 magnitude earthquake rocked Taiwan.

The quake - the nation's strongest in 25 years - sparked tsunami fears, downed buildings and triggered landslides.

Rescuers are battling to save at least 77 people trapped in collapsed buildings after the quake struck just before 8am local time (1am UK time).

Shocking images show buildings slumped to one side and debris strewn across roads in the eastern coastal city of Hualien, close to the epicentre of the quake.

Three hikers were killed in a landslide in Taroko National Park near the offshore epicentre.

In the capital Taipei, tiles fell from roofs and debris rained down from building sites.
