An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.7 hit Taiwan on Wednesday. Ella Koon Yan Na was in Taiwan filming at the time. Ella was quite alarmed by the sudden earthquake and could not get in touch with her mother, due to the disruption in telecommunications service.
In a state of panic, Ella could only cry in fear. As mild tremors of the earthquake continued during the night, Ella could not fall asleep either.
Reporters contacted Ella afterwards. "Around 8 PM, during the first tremors of the earthquake, I was still filming. I was so scared, I could only hang on to the people beside me. My heart almost popped out in fear. Afterwards I realized that I had squeezed that person's so hard it had turned red! When the second tremor of the earthquake striked, I was walking through the studio hallway. I immediately screamed out in fear! The lighting crew rushed over to comfort me...."
The force of the earthquake in Southern Taiwan was so strong that it could be felt all the way in Hong Kong. After Ella's initial shock cleared, she immediated phoned her mother. However due to the earthquake, the lines were busy and it took a long time to get through. When the phone connection was finally established, Ella started crying.
Ella indicated that experiencing an earthquake was terrifying. However she did not complete her work in Taiwan yet, so she could not return to Hong Kong early. But she will notify her friends and family of her safety. Ella was worried that there will be another earthquake in Taiwan, thus causing her much mental anxiety.
Kenny Wong Tak Bun was filming in Hong Kong on the night of the earthquake. Kenny was doing a headstand at the time and felt a rush of dizziness. Afterwards the production crew pointed out that it was an earthquake.
Did Kenny think of his girlfriend when he felt the earthquake? "It's not like I was about to die! My fear was not to that degree! Several years ago, I had encountered another earthquake in the Philippines. The night before, I was only slightly alarmed!"
