On June 30, 2024, at 10:24 AM, TVBS reported on buildings like the collapsed Uranus Building from the 0403 earthquake, the fallen Weiguan Building in Tainan, and the Cuidi Building in Hualien, all identified as 'soft-footed shrimp buildings.' The investigative team followed a civil engineer to visit red-marked dangerous buildings slated for demolition, highlighting why they are not earthquake-resistant. Despite difficulties in disclosing risks, the government failed to uniformly announce houses listed in red or yellow, potentially leading buyers to purchase properties with collapse concerns. Additionally, the article mentions challenges faced in the implementation of subsidies for seismic reinforcement of weak structures, hindering both homeowners and construction fund allocations.
