Ces images montrent un tsunami à Taïwan le 3 avril, à la suite du tremblement de terre.
Publisher’s rating: Les images montrent le tsunami meurtrier qui a touché le Japon en 2011. Elles ne sont en aucun cas liées au récent tremblement de terre à Taïwan, où les risques de tsunami ont été écartés.

The review found that the video shared as footage of a tsunami in Taiwan was filmed in 2011 in Tagajo, Miyagi Prefecture, during the Great East Japan Earthquake. It matched the footage by comparing the arrangement of cars, a utility pole, and a bridge, and by hearing Japanese speech in the video.
One video currently circulating on X, formerly Twitter, purports to show several high-rise buildings that toppled almost like building blocks in the wake of the Taiwan earthquake
