Nothing To See Here, Just A Horde Of People In China Running From A Wobbling 73-Story Skyscraper On A Beautiful Day With No Earthquakes Reported
CNN- Thousands of shoppers in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen fled the vicinity of a 957-foot (291-meter) skyscraper Tuesday, after it inexplicably began swaying. Videos circulating on Chinese social media showed crowds running from the wobbling building, with some screaming and looking back over their shoulders.
The weather was fine at the time and there were no reports of an earthquake in the region. No deaths or injuries were reported.
Yup, I think I'm scratching Shenzen off of my places to visit once international travel opens up and I'm no longer poor. What the fuck is that, China? You can't just have skyscrapers wobbling like a college freshman after his first dance with jungle juice on a beautiful day. You can get away with that shit on a windy day, a day when some Asian country is launching missiles out into the nearest sea, or even a day when there are solar flares even though I have no fucking clue what solar flares are.
But don't tell me that everything looks in tip top shape as people run like Godzilla and King Kong were rumbling in the streets.
SPOILER Sidenote: I still can't believe the amount of damage casually done to Hong Kong in Godzilla vs. Kong
Don't worry though, authorities say everything is fine!
Authorities investigating the cause of the shake said in a statement that no "abnormalities in the main structure and surrounding environment of the building" had been found.
Let's go to the Chinese government for their statement:
Between this story, the story of the Three Gorges Dam potentially about to collapse (which is a great quick listen with Eddie & Chief) and God knows what else, I honestly don't know how Chinese people leave the house in the morning without thinking there is a 50/50 chance of them dying in some sort of horrific fashion due to a manmade structure collapsing because it was built with the handiwork of the shit at Barstool HQ.
