Shenzhen skyscrapper wobble but no earthquake

[StreetFight3r]

 

One of China's tallest skyscrapers was evacuated Tuesday after it began to shake, sending panicked shoppers scampering to safety in the southern city of Shenzhen.

Emergency management officials are investigating what caused the near 300-metre high SEG Plaza in Shenzhen's Futian district to wobble, according to a post on the Twitter-like Weibo.

"After checking and analysing the data of various earthquake monitoring stations across the city, there was no earthquake in Shenzhen today," the statement said.

"The cause of the shaking is being verified by various departments."

Bystander videos published by local media on Weibo showed the skyscraper shaking on its foundations as hundreds of terrified pedestrians ran away on the street outside.

The tower began to shake at around 1pm Tuesday, after which all people inside were evacuated and it was sealed shut as of 2:40pm, according to local media reports.

The tower is home to a major electronics market as well as various offices.

Aiyah. you wanna live in City is like that one.

You see Japan, they can bath while earthquake is shaking. No scare. 😎

hmm.. probably wind and the building match the resonance frequency causing the amplitude to magnify.

the building's exterior and the surrounding environment affecting the wind can cause winds to move and rock it.

I went to Taipei 101 Building before,such Tall Building if in Earthquake Zone,on top of the Building will have ''Counter Weights'' to Offset the Earthquake.

Actually buildings are designed to shake shake when theres strong wind or earthquake, then can absorb better and wont collapse fast😅

no lar. this an engineering phenomenon

bridges can collapse because of wind and even from the people walking.. recent one in london.

I think you meant sway and not shake. Buildings shouldn't shake but sway with the winds.

[Kb27]

it's supposed to wobble. no fear.

Maybe the building tio COVID 😄
dry cough
