Man dies as strong earthquake topples building in Taiwan

Train partially derails and residents are trapped inside collapsed block after 6.9-magnitude quake

At least one person has died after a strong earthquake shook much of Taiwan, toppling a three-storey building and temporarily trapping four people inside, leaving about 400 tourists stranded on a mountain and derailing part of a train.

The 6.9-magnitude quake was the largest of more than 75 that rattled the island's south-eastern coast between Saturday evening, when a 6.4-magnitude quake struck the same area, and Sunday afternoon.
