A Question,

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?
