Version 13 of 19.

Antoine Rousseaux, witnessed the first waves of the earthquake in the centre of Taipei this morning.

He was at work on the 9th floor of an office building when it "started to shake really, really hard."

"It’s not my first earthquake in Taiwan but I’ve never had it done that hard, and then I heard things falling down so I didn’t know what to do, I was like, 'should I run down the stairs?'

"And then I decided to just go under the table and sit down under the table but the Taiwanese were just standing up and we could see things falling down, it was really confusing.”

“We are still in a bit of a shocked state because when it happened it was a really strong one, so even the Taiwanese were really scared... I could see they were not used to one with this strength."

He says he and his colleagues then continued to experience aftershocks every 30 minutes.
