The occupants of a skyscraper in China’s southern city of Shenzhen were ordered to vacate the building after it began to shake, creating chaos in the surrounding streets. Officials say no earthquake was detected in the city.
At 984 feet (300 meters), SEG Plaza is one of the tallest skyscrapers in Shenzhen, but the impressive building appears to have suffered from unexplained structural issues on Tuesday. The tower houses a large electronics market, as well as numerous offices.
Several videos posted to social media show parts of the structure swaying back and forth. One clip purportedly filmed inside the building shows the interior of a room shaking.
