China skyscraper wobble due to ‘winds, rail lines and warmer weather’ – reports
Preliminary verdict in Shenzhen suggests combination of factors led to shaking, and finds no safety problems
The wobbling of a skyscraper in the Chinese city of Shenzhen was likely caused by a combination of winds, underground rail lines, and fluctuating temperatures, according to preliminary findings reported by local media.
The near-300m-high (980ft) SEG Plaza first began shaking on Tuesday afternoon, prompting an evacuation of people inside while pedestrians looked on in horror.
