if you worked in this 73-storey skyscraper in Shenzen, China,
and it started to shake for no apparent reason, would you feel safe in going back to work in it? that is the question that many are asking after everyone evacuated the building and surround area,
“After
checking and analysing the data of various earthquake monitoring stations
across the city, there was no earthquake in Shenzhen today,” the Shenzhen
Emergency Management Bureau said in a statement,
furthermore,
experts allegedly “found no safety abnormalities in the main structure and
surrounding environment of the building,” and both the interior and exterior of
the building appear undamaged. No further shaking of the building has been
registered since Tuesday, completed
in 2000, the 300-meter-high skyscraper is home to a major electronics market,
and is actually named after electronics manufacturer Shenzhen Electronics
Group, whose headquarters are in the building. It’s the 18th tallest building in Shenzen, the 104th-tallest
building in China and the 212th-tallest in the world, according to many on
social media, after Tuesday’s events, it’s also one of the least safe buildings
in China, for now,
with no abnormal seismic activity recorded in Shenzen, the
cause of the skyscraper wobble remains a mystery, so how safe would you feel going back to work in the building?
