Tunghsing Building after the earthquake

• ... that the Tunghsing Building (pictured) was the only building in Taipei that collapsed after the September 21 earthquake in 1999? Source: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/local/archives/2000/09/20/54129 "The 921 earthquake claimed a total of 87 lives in Taipei, all of whom were residents at the Tunghsing Building (東興大樓) -- the only building in the city to collapsed during the 7.3 tremor."
  • ALT1: ... that the collapse of the Tunghsing Building (pictured) during the September 21, 1999, earthquake was blamed on its faulty design, which underestimated the building's weight by 18 percent? Source: "The collegiate bench said that based on reports by the Taiwan Professional Civil Engineers Association and the Executive Yuan’s Public Construction Commission, the building’s design was flawed, with the builders underestimating the weight per floor and the building’s total weight by 18 percent." https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2014/10/04/2003601218

  • Comment: I know it is getting close, but could this be a special occasion hook for September 21, the 25th anniversary of the earthquake and the building's collapse? I don't mind if this doesn't get the image spot, but I'd really like to run it on the day if possible. (I have missed the opportunity four years in a row now).

Overall: Epicgenius (talk) 14:33, 29 August 2024 (UTC) Hi @Epicgenius, thank you for reviewing! As I said, I don't have a strong attachment to the image. Per WP:DYKSO, could you please comment on the special occasion request? I really would like to commemorate the anniversary of the 921 quake if that is possible. —Kusma (talk) 10:29, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Oops, I forgot to comment on the special occasion request. I think that is fine, too. Epicgenius (talk) 13:22, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
