15 people are now confirmed dead -- and two are still missing -- after Tuesday's massive earthquake in Taiwan. Three more bodies were found on Saturday from a collapsed building - where five missing tourists from the Chinese mainland were staying.
Although the critical 72-hour Golden Window for finding survivors has passed, rescuers still hope to find people trapped alive. The local government plans to hold a public memorial ceremony on Monday. Many institutions and organizations sent condolences and offered help in the aftermath of the magnitude-6.5 quake.
