To imagine yet another scenario, what if the earthquake had struck the Greater Taipei conurbation, with its crowded high-rises? With buildings of different heights smashing into each other as they swayed at different periods of oscillation, MRT tunnels collapsing, underground trains jumping the rails and underground oil and gas pipes exploding, what kind of apocalyptic scenes might have resulted?
再進一步設想，如果這場大地震發生在大台北都會區，高樓櫛比鱗次、不同高度的大樓因擺盪週期不同而互相撞擊，捷運隧道塌陷，地下鐵出軌，地下油管及瓦斯管爆炸… …，那又可能是怎樣的人間煉獄、末日光景？
