Interesting news coverage of the earthquake in Taiwan a few days ago. I thought the money shot picture of a semi-collapsing tilting building looked a bit weird. On closer investigation, none of the pictures I saw showed any damage whatsoever other than that one building and the immediate surroundings. Here's a nice big picture:
This ABC news video report even has a subtitle 'Quake Topples Buildings'. That's plural. So where are the other buildings?

More quotes from the news report:
'...buidings destroyed...'
'...roads, bridges, cars damaged. Neighbourhoods reduced to rubble...'
'...and tonight in Taiwan, forty thousand households are without water...'
A lot of news stories I found had other photographs of damage and rubble, collapsed buildings etc., with captions referring to the last serious quake there in 2016. The casual reader might assume all the pictures are the new earthquake, but in fact it seems to be a one-building earthquake. I've spent a good half hour wading through google image search looking for even one picture of damage that is a) not that featured building, and b) identified as being from the Feb 6th earthquake. And I have come up with precisely fuck all.
