Taiwan shut down schools and offices and grounded hundreds of flights as Typhoon Champi began brushing by the island, according to a report from ABC News. The summary of that report describes the closures and flight disruptions but does not give the number of schools or offices affected, the number of flights grounded, or the storm's expected track.
A separate report from BBC News said hundreds of flights were cancelled as the typhoon affected Taiwan. Its summary states that one person died after being "swept away by waves" on Taiwan's Liuqiu island. According to the BBC News summary, that is the only death it reports.
The two reports differ somewhat in emphasis. ABC News described the typhoon as beginning to brush by the island, while the BBC News headline says the storm shuts Taiwan. Neither summary states whether the typhoon made landfall, and neither says how long the school closures, office closures, or flight cancellations would last.
Both outlets use the term hundreds to describe the flight disruptions, but neither summary gives an exact count. ABC News said the flights were grounded, and BBC News said they were cancelled. The two descriptions do not conflict on the scale of the disruption, though the summaries do not establish a precise figure for either.
This account is limited to the headlines and summaries of those two reports and does not include details beyond them. Neither summary names an official or agency that announced the closures, and neither reports a direct statement from officials.
