BBC has a better video at this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8191965.stm

A hotel in southern Taiwan has collapsed after flood waters from Typhoon Morakot undermined its foundations.

The hotel in Chihpen, one of the country's most famous hot spring resorts, is believed to have been completely evacuated before it collapsed.
