The typhoon broke into a room and made its ceilings fall apart onto the floor. Fortunately, the police officer on duty did not suffer injuries. <br /> <br />"The strong wind was blowing heavily. It is suspected to rush into the ceiling first and a down-ward force made all the frameworks of the ceiling collapse," said a police officer. <br /> <br />In Taichung City, the typhoon triggered a collapse of scaffolds from a shopping mall top. The sudden collapse injured three people and crashed a parked car below.
