【Rescue Efforts End in Taiwanese City Struck by Quake】
By Keith Bradsher, New York Times
Published Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016
(HONG KONG) — Rescue efforts ended on Saturday at the site of a 17-story apartment complex in Tainan, in southwestern Taiwan that collapsed in an earthquake a week earlier, as search crews pulled the last of 114 bodies from the rubble.
The magnitude 6.4 quake struck on Feb. 6; nearly all the deaths were at the Wei-Guan Golden Dragon building, only two other people died elsewhere.
The police have arrested the building’s developer and two associates, and they have been charged with criminal business misconduct resulting in fatalities, a specific manslaughter charge under Taiwanese law. They have not yet entered pleas.
Anxious relatives had stood vigil at the building last week, hoping survivors would be found. But Ellen Hsueh, a Tainan municipal spokeswoman, said on Saturday evening that everyone believed to have been inside the building when the quake struck had now been accounted for.
Ms. Hsueh said that one person was still listed as missing, a homeless woman who had last been seen near the building.
台灣二月六日地震造成倒塌的維冠大樓搜救結束,共計116人遇難
在星期六,一週前因為地震倒塌的台南市維冠大樓現場搜救工作宣布結束,搜救人員在這座17層大樓的廢墟中共發現114具罹難者的遺體。
這場規模6.4的地震是發生在2月6日,所造成的傷亡幾乎都是在維冠金龍大樓這棟建築物中,而在台南其他地區僅造成2人死亡。
警方已經拘捕維冠大樓的建商及兩名相關的建築師,並依據台灣的法律將他們以「業務過失致死罪」起訴,且他們尚未進入法院的審理程序。
焦急的受災民眾家屬在過去的一週一直守候在大樓旁邊,期望能夠找到其他生還者。但是台南市政府的一名女發言人,Ellen Hsueh在週六晚間宣布,大樓倒塌時被認為仍在樓內的所有居民都已經被確認身份。
發言人表示目前仍有一名無家可歸的女子被列為失蹤者,地震前她被目擊曾在大樓附近出沒。
