One of China’s tallest skyscrapers was evacuated on Tuesday after it began to shake, sending panicked shoppers scampering to safety.
The near 300 metre (980ft) high SEG Plaza in Shenzhen, southern China, inexplicably began to shake at around 1pm, prompting an evacuation of people inside while pedestrians looked on open-mouthed.
Bystander videos published by local media on Weibo showed the skyscraper shaking as hundreds of terrified pedestrians ran away outside.
Building collapses are not rare in China, where lax building standards and breakneck urbanisation lead to constructions being thrown up in haste.

Substandard concrete again?
I eas about to ask if there was a Hamas intelligence unit playing “hide but don’t seek” with AP in the bulding.

I was in Shanghai in 2010 when this happened. 53 people died. The articles about this typically say that the building was ‘under construction’.... sure. What really happened was that the outside of the building was being renovated and it mainly involved styrofoam covering on the outside and new windows. Before the covering was put on the insulation, it got set alight... I think it was a welding spark at the bottom. Regardless, it turned the entire building into a massive torch almost instantly. Amazing that more people didn’t get burned to death.

YES!
But still, they are out there.

There are more videos but inside long reports.
China, like Russia, as noted by Churchill “riddle wrapped up in an enigma”.
China has been on an anti skyscraper kick for some time.
They are a waste of resources. the higher you go the more floor space is consumed by service space.
It is also likely the Twitter masters released some video to get their point across?
We will never know.
They forgot to use gorilla glue the building to the street surface.
Is gorilla glue made in China?
1) Probably earth’s harmonics matching the building
2) Most of those people fleeing were NOT wearing masks.

Why would he slum it in China?

Wishful thinking when it comes to their weaponry. Hope you’re right and we don’t have to find out the hard way.

A personal favorite is the use of sea sand for concrete mix.
The salt attackers the rebar.
Popular in Mexico and points south.
Might they have different quality standards for their military? You know, priorities?
