Man in that second video they look so calm standing under a massive potential landslide that could sweep them to their death.

#13Are fabs knocked offline?
This was my first thought also. I know they have seismic isolation tech, but how good is it?

#14I see earthquake reports (like this one) describe earthquake depth. What is the significance of it? Is it somehow actionable?

#16This was felt pretty strongly in Taipei, some reports of electricity outage too. All my friends and I seem ok though.
Is there a stream of the big dampening device in Taipei 101? I cannot find it via usual searches but wonder if it is available in another language search.

As somebody who has been through more than 10 thousand quakes, it's as significant as the force itself.
7.4 @ 300km deep you just yawn and roll over. @10km deep you pray your concrete roof tiles don't come through the ceiling and kill you in your bed... you basically just lie on top of your wife, give thanks for the time you did have, and hope for the best.

#18I went through a 7.6 quake one time. It was wild.
I hope everyone stays safe.

#19Japan’s meteorological agency forecast a tsunami of up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) for those curious https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/02/taiwan-earth...
3 m sound not too bad?

Well, imagine it like the distance you want to be away from a big explosion. The further away, the better.
And the deeper it is, the further it is away from the ground, where humans are.
