As of June 24, 2024, old buildings in Taiwan face the danger of flying debris such as pots and tiles during strong winds, leading to a lack of government intervention and reliance on luck by pedestrians. Despite initiatives over the years to address the chaotic and potentially dangerous external attachments like air conditioners and signs on buildings, the situation has not been resolved. Recent incidents of falling tiles and an air conditioner leading to fatalities have raised concerns, with calls for regulations and incentives for repairs. However, the slow progress in legislation highlights the challenges in managing and funding maintenance of older buildings, posing threats to public safety.
