The death toll has risen to 15 from Tuesday's earthquake that hit Taiwan's Hualien County, after three more victims from the Chinese mainland were confirmed dead on Saturday afternoon. Although the 72-hour Golden Window to find survivors has passed, rescue operations continue to search for survivors in the ruins of a 12-story building. Over 270 others were also injured in the quake. The magnitude-6.5 quake is the most severe to hit Hualien in five decades.
