html Taipei 101 issued a clarification on a social platform at around 9 pm on the 18th, saying that after the earthquake occurred in Hualien County on the 18th, a large number of animated videos of the Taipei 101 building shaking due to an earthquake were circulated on the Internet and social media. Because the content was obviously inconsistent with the facts of the earthquake, I was worried that the public would misunderstand it. I would like to clarify it here. Please do not spread rumors.It is understood that the animation video comes from Tiktok, showing that the image of the 101 building in Taipei distorted and shaking left and right due to an earthquake. The length of the film is only 8 seconds and has been circulated in the community software, with nearly 20,000 likes. In order to avoid being misunderstood by everyone, Taipei 101 officially issued a statement to clarify.
Many netizens who have watched the video also left messages to refute the fake video, "Just in the 101 building, the other buildings are still, it is very fake...", "Now there is a breeze south mountain around 101, and it is not in the video, so it is obvious that the video is fake."
