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

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?

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.
