SmallCog:
Saw that in the news and I'm glad everyone is safe

Click baity thread name would be Shenzen Market evacuated, given how often Dave mentions the place

AlbertL:
Despite the statement that wind has been ruled out as the cause, I'm inclined to think that it is involved.  Perhaps a vortex-shedding phenomenon interacting with the building's natural period of oscillation?
themadhippy:
One of the stalls  received the  wrong type of Tesla coils,fired it up and things started oscillating
G7PSK:
Chinese buildings are infamous for the shoddy workmanship and materials. These two guys travel around China and look at some of the buildings.
