Holy god damn hell
was about too call bull shit, until I heard Chinese people talking
Imagine being on the top level, I would probably shit myself.
Aren't skyscrapers built in a way, that they bend a little dude to wind?

They're designed to bend, because bending is always better than breaking in high winds.

I know that, but that's under fairly rare circumstances. It looks bad ass.

Yeah, but this looked excessive. I looked it up, the Sears Tower can accommodate sway up to 12 inches from centre and that number seems consistent with other tall buildings. It looks like the ones in this video are swaying a lot more than that. Since this was from an earthquake instead of winds it might be normal though.
Also keep in mind it isn't just the top half of the building moving from high winds.
This is the entire building and its foundation moving due to an earthquake.
That's pretty crazy.
Was about to call resonance but...
I remember watching a documentary about some earthquake, and surprisingly the skyscrapers were the only buildings that were undamaged, while all lower structures collapsed.
don't they use some sort of suspension thing
Fucking youtube.
