People flee in panic as 300-metre-high skyscraper wobbles in China

One of China’s tallest skyscrapers was evacuated on Tuesday after it began to shake, sending panicked shoppers scampering to safety.

The nearly 300-metre (980ft) SEG Plaza in Shenzhen, southern China, inexplicably began to shake at about 1pm, prompting an evacuation of people inside while pedestrians looked on open-mouthed. The building was closed by 2.40pm, according to local media reports.

It all started when one lady turned to her co-worker and said "Is it just me, or is the building wobbling?" And the co-worker did not say "It's just you."

After an hour same people ran back to the building after they received Layoff notices!

I feel like alot of those people didnt even know why they were running

[iWatchVods]

Am I the only one that is still waiting for the building to move? 😂

This film should really be titled... "People flee in panic!! Cameraman hasn't a single clue as to why?!"

[AcadeVince]

If I were inside that building, seeing those running outside I would have thought there is a zombie Apocalypse

People on the ground: “It’s wobbling! Run!”

People in the building: “What are they running from?”

[noha]

The fact that they were filming the fleeing people instead of THE wobbling skyscraper made me MAD

If you've ever wanted to tell how to know if your skyscraper is definitely going to fall, be on watch for the sound of pasta crunching. It means that the myriad drywall walls and metal studs are breaking on many floors. If the building emits this sound and you're still alive, get out.

Tower: "it's just a prank bro"

I'm glad everyone is safe. Crowd crushes can be just as dangerous as the possibility of the building falling over

[yashpradhan]

Movies, learn: Not a single person is tripping over nothing and falling

When the construction workers were from Wish

Imagine you're just working and you look out the window and started seeing people fleeing like there was a Zombie Apocalypse happening

Since I haven’t seen it written elsewhere: the antenna on the top was vibrating due to a strong wind, and the vibrations traveled down the rest of the building. It has since been removed from the structure and replaced with a sturdier object that provides the same functions and the building is still standing.

The engineers graduated from Zoom university probably.

This is like that time in New York times square when people started running panicking when they thought they heard gunshots but it was just a loud exhaust.

Architect of that building when it was complete went home like "just wait and see on a windy day, y'all should have gave me that raise I asked for"

[rikvermar]

building shaking, people running for their lives screaming - it must be GODZILLA
