Demolition of the Uranus Building, which was leaning after a magnitude-7.3 earthquake in Hualien County, China's Taiwan region, started on Friday. The 10-storey building was heavily damaged after Wednesday's earthquake and was left tilted over at a 25-degree angle. The powerful quake killed at least 12 people and injured more than 1,100 others. According to the statistics from the Taiwan meteorological agency, as of 08:59 Thursday, there had been a total of 324 tremors, including the main shock and aftershocks. Some 200 residents of Hualien County near the epicenter were staying in temporary shelters, and the main road linking the county to Taipei was still closed Thursday afternoon, but much of Taiwan's day-to-day life returned to normal.
