Following the quake, investigators in Yunlin county discovered that three crumbled structures had been erected by a construction company that had used empty plastic bottles and tin cans as filler to save on concrete and bricks. (The owner was arrested.) In Dali, a massive apartment block suffered major damage: one of the 11-story buildings was uprooted from the ground and fell backward.
Nor did it have any new data regarding the unauthorised silicone filler, which was meant for products like mattresses, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).
