A landslide in northern Taiwan destroys a furniture warehouse and nearby cars. Continuous rain over the past month could have triggered the landslide.
A security camera captures the first moments of a landslide which crushed a furniture warehouse in Taiwan on Sunday, injuring two people.
At least six people were trapped in the landslide but have since been rescued.
Four vehicles were crushed and traffic was blocked for hours.
[Hsu Tsung-neng, Head of Hsing-liao Borough]:
"There are still a lot of residents here, and after the landslide, we are more concerned about further damage to the area. We will contact the district office and city government for assessments, to ease their minds about future problems. I am very thankful for the quick rescue last night. I hope the assessment will be carried out soon."
Continuous rain over the past month could be the cause of the landslide.
The warehouse was built ten years ago below a graveyard.
It's unclear whether the warehouse had passed legal site and building inspections.
In April 2010, a landslide in Keelung buried three cars and killed four people.
