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.

1) Probably earth’s harmonics matching the building

2) Most of those people fleeing were NOT wearing masks.

I suspect this another example of natural frequency. A vibration that is in tune with the time it takes an object to vibrate makes the vibration bigger and bigger every cycle until something breaks. The Tocoma Narrows Bridge (galloping gurdy!) was a famous example. The same phenomenon is delibertly used to tune in stations on a radio.Good construction Engineering keeps this in mind and builds in appropriate dampening.

Buildings in China are built as cheaply as possible as long as they look good from a distance. Up close, you might make out the Plaster of Paris ornaments or the cardboard used as concrete filler ... apartment buildings are marvelous when new, but receive no maintenance, not even a new light bulb, because renters can only rent for 7 years and then must move by law. ETC

Thoughts and prayers for the people that live there.
I wouldn’t.
