Taiwan earthquake search and rescue efforts continue, dozens remain missing and 10 people confirmed dead
Emergency workers searched Thursday for dozens of people still missing after the strongest earthquake in decades struck Taiwan. At least 10 people have been confirmed dead in the 7.4 magnitude earthquake that occurred as people were heading to work on Wednesday.
Severe damage has been reported across the island, and intense rescue efforts are still underway to find the missing.
Dashcam video captured the horrific moments when the boulders crashed down a steep mountainside onto the highway, hitting one car and sending other drivers quickly backing out of the area.
More than 1,000 people were injured by the quake, and as of Thursday, more than 100 people were still missing across the mountainous island.

In one remote valley, a drone spotted a group of miners stranded on a slope when the earthquake caused landslides that destroyed all roads.
CBS News partner BBC News was at the epicenter, where local residents told reporter Robert Wingfield Hayes that they were worried that an aftershock could completely topple one building left leaning at a roughly 45-degree angle by the quake.
Workers were busy trying to reinforce the base to stabilize it even as rescuers carefully searched the building for any survivors.

The earthquake struck just as the children were starting their school day, including the 8-year-old daughter of American Kevin Geiger.
“The teachers said: 'Go under the table, under the table!'” Claire said of her morning drama.
“I was really happy that she was calm and didn't freak out,” her father said.
Taiwan was still feeling aftershocks on Thursday, but Claire told CBS News she was not afraid, because her school taught her what to do.
