I can't even imagine how scary to sleep silently in your room with your grandma and then a gust of wind blew your mattress out the window with you and your grandma still on it plummeting to your death ....that is one of the scariest thing I think anyone can even experience
Yes, just horrible!!! Must have seemed like an awful nightmare!!
Reminds me of the Miami condo collapse. People just died suddenly in their sleep, scary.
The Chinese are known for not caring about there people everything china makes for Chinese are faulty and they come to America and pretend to act like they are so United but a Chinese guy I talked to said Chinese rich mistreats the poor Chinese loook at that how do you make a high rise with weak windows that’s 100 percent the government they just don’t care
thats so sad the grandma and grandson. RIP
Glad mom was able to save her child. Rip grandma and grandson
why feel bad for them? theyre chinese

Having Steel frames to cover windows is important in high rise apartments
steel frames are useless when you use dreg tofu as concrete.
Do you think the chinese real estate companies care about build quality? 😂
Not sure. But you are definitely lack of human heart
@@Baebon6259 Chinese construction quality is far better than Vietnam's.
@@aero.l you mean Chinese construction quality = Vietnam's since Vietnam sold themselves to Chinese builders? Beside, as American, I couldn't careless what commies do.
As someone grew up in southeast China, the wind speed there is no joke. On bad days, you might see kids flying.
So, this has nothing to do with global warming? It's just normal?
What tf u mean by kids flying 😮
@@parshuram11023 A gust of wind becoming so strong that it can pick up small children from the ground and lift them up a few centimeters into the air before they fall down again. Just look how much adults are struggling to even walk in very strong winds. 25KG children would be nothing for that kind of wind.
@@Simketsit's the annual typhoon, nothing to do with global warning, less pollution creates colder stronger wind instead with heavy thunderstorm. The architects who designed these apartments put fancy design above practical safety against strong typhoon being the cause of catastrophe where the large windows without extra heavy reinforced frames prone to break under high pressure creating suction which dragged the victims that were too close to windows out of the floor. Apartment, office building, high rise close to area hit by annual typhoon must not have large or too many windows especially if not heavily reinforced.
@@Simkets Incidence rates are determined by changes in climate. Not sure there's a reliable record on this specifically
0:13 Look at the top concrete and lower concrete bars that used to hold the windowframes: It's clean, intact, not damaged.
For a properly installed window there MUST be anchoring plugs and screws drilled into the concrete to fix the window frames.
These window frames were just glued in place instead. Whoever installed those windows on the cheap like that is to blame for the deaths.
Chinese people dont care about building structurally safe and stable buildings these things are happening 24/7 there
@@enriquebarnica5535
It's so nice for you that you watch Fox News, but I prefer facts.
The windows that were blew away were not the original windows when the developer’s contractor built the apt building. The owner replaced the original window with ceiling to floor window before moving in and his contractor did a bad job, not enough bolts and bolts not deep enough. And you were right about the glue. What’s worse, it was the worst storm with such strong winds I’ve ever seen in this inland city. So sad…
@@luj7695 But why were several windows blown out in this same building?
All of them hired the same remodelling contractor?
@@_Just_Another_Guy not sure if they hired the same contractor, but they all did remodeling. That's also why only several windows, not a lot of windows, of the buildings were blown away. And i'm saying buildings because residential developers in china normally develop a land which can easily be over 10 acres with apt buildings, garage, landscape and amenities.
Even the mattress was blown away 😱
new fear unlocked
That's scary!! 😢
Made in China mattres 😮
If your windows are caving in because of 72 mph winds, the windows are the problem. Especially in a high rise building they should be even stronger. Bullet-proof essentially.
I dont think you understand how fast 72mph is. That's an F1 tornado and can move CARS. And you can see in the video with the mother, the glass didn't shatter, the frame of what looks like a accordion door (which is very difficult to enforce) gave out. "Bulletproof glass" wouldn't have mattered........
😂😂 you say "because of 72 mph winds" exactly like someone who has never experienced such strong winds or weather in general. isn't that right?
Do you think the chinese real estate companies care about build quality? 😂
@@bigboss3371450水军，恶心死你
According to our Chinese report. It was over 118. Also they live in high-rise building Level 19，it called valley effect.
How awful!!! I can't imagine being so rudely awakened and then feeling yourself falling to your death. It must have seemed like an terrible nightmare!! Just can't believe how the mattress with two people on it was blasted out of the building in such a way. Just tragic!! My deepest condolences by all those affected by these terrible storms in China . . .
The quality of the construction is extremely low.
It's china do you rly think they care about quality over quantity
the wind reaches up to 117km/h? i actually though it was a lot higher. to put in perspective, typhoon haiyan had peak wind of 315km/h. those windows were definitely sub standard.
It might be on average. if you consider the variation in wind speed, then at some points the speed is much higher than that.
Made in China?
0:25 it seems justifiable if things broke with this wind + rain mixture.
If this can lift up whole bed with 2 person on it, it must be up to 117 km/h. Maybe thats the average speed.
In Europe we had few times 120km/h a no such problems. China is growing, but they should build better.
That’s not wind, that’s a semi tornado, scary
Perhaps it is better not to have full length glass window for high rise buildings. Half wall half window seems safer.
YEAAAA 😂 its creepy when its stormy.
yeah.. as far as I think they are beautiful I can't help to think about brazilian buildings... Brazil is specialist in concrete so most of our builds have at least some concrete bit on it... That could have prevented their deaths.
You can definitely use strong window frames and there are glass that can withstand tornadoes. But that costs a lot of money, and when you realize you have to do that with a whole high rise apartment building, the costs are probably too high to stomach for a lot of these chinese developers.
Or install a rolling shutter in case the wind gets too strong. My old family home used to have that.
I'd be scared ASF to have a glass wall on that height.
That’s definitely an issue specific to that building. Lejit saw floor give out in shopping mall 2 weeks ago
Some buildings even put a grill so people don’t throw trash
Tofu Dreg ain't working it seems
You are a low.life human being@@airplanedude3103
@@airplanedude3103if it was a tofu dreg it would have collapsed, still up to standard integrity if it didnt collapse under 100 kilometer/h winds
you're saying it like the houses in Kansas don't get destroyed when a tornado comes but the Chinese ones do
@@austinli8891 Yup. Houses in Kansas and America in general aren't that strong. The difference lies in the fact that while the Americans are self-aware of how weak their houses really are, the Chinese (specifically the political faction) seem very boastful of their 'achievements', often demeaning other nations or individuals in doing so.
Is it a wind problem, or bad construction problem, I don't get it
yes
The concrete frame around where the window frames was, shows no signs of anchors being ripped out of the concrete. Probably they never anchored the windowframes, just did it up with mastic sealer and thought 'Well, now it's glued in place'.
And that's not a strong connection. Mastic sealer isn't even a full construction glue.
The higher the elevation, the windier it gets. But this was a typhoon storm level of wind I think. Also the windows were not installed properly or had poor material quality.
72mph? That's not even a level 1 hurricane. What are those buildings made out of? Cardboard?
gotta say china still bad at some building quality
Unfortunately they’re most likely tofu buildings 😢
@@lawz7787 shut up it's called bad quality it's not tofu
Tofu
the man almost flew at the video so maybe the high rise building experienced stronger wind level cuz it's high???
Is it that the winds are extremely strong or the build quality is extremely poor?
There are both reasons.
Its terrifying how if you pause at start of video shows no dangerous sign of it at all. Then in the blink of eyes, the windows already done for and follow the destruction of the rest. I am very glad the mother and her child were safe because the windows looks like fall and hit on her child. RIP for the one who lost their lives in this accident..
You should put the city name in the title. I mean, China is pretty big 😅
Read the description. Hope it helps!
nanchang city
Thank you. I know it's in Nanchang as I spent a lot of time there in the past for work. I was just suggesting to the media manager that they should include the name of the city in the post. The paper is mostly news out of China so I don't think they need to say "China" in the post. Adding the city name would add more value.
@@happyhattergamer8078
This is such a tragedy. Nobody wants to go that way. I am so sorry for your loss.
Engineering needs to change everything and rebuild all.
Wind will continue appear an time, so stay away from glass windows when heard storm coming.
Hong Kong buildings are withstanding 120 to 130km typhoons once every few years, our buildings are standing strong with no danger with integrity. A lot are built by mainland China constructors some were from British era. Yes serious devastation was made regardless but we had no record of people dragging out of windows like this. I suspect it is a small tornado suddenly forming in a residential area, and by experience, it's very likely debris got blow up from ground and hit the building windows, creating vulnerable spots as the wind twisted pulling everything out.
Either that or building regulations are not up to standard or not being followed.
How sad.
I guess the building envelope consultant didnt test the lateral forces properly~ If the developer ever even hired one.
In india we also face a small tornado in 31 march 🌪. 3 was dead . Shocking is that never before seen this types of tornado.
wait, did all the incident happen in the same building?? or did other nearby building suffer the same damage to their window? It was a powerful gust but if it didn't happen to any other building nearby the region... the building itself could be a problem.
There is a lack of governance in building requirements. Officials gotta do a better job.
Very, very sad. But I myself would never live in a building that tall. NEVER!
The building codes and compliance of these buildings will likely come under scrutiny. If the wind were really that moderate the windows shouldn’t have been blown out.
But the fact that entire mattresses and people were taken out of buildings suggests a more serious microclimate event. Perhaps the urban planning and meteorology departments will also be involved.

Makes you wonder what's wrong with people these days, look at the video, one of mankind's real horrors of nature, people died, and still some talk about politics or tofu buildings. Does not make sense!
But tofu buildings are buildings who are poorly made tho, and the reason they are poorly made is due to corrupt politicians. So it totally relates to the video
@@Blahajno1So you’re talking about the tofu bridge you cxnts had?
@@Blahajno1 So does the tofu bridge.
Or debating on how many gender.
The truth is, many people dislike looking at the real problem and avoiding it by talking about unimportant problem.
Extreme climate is real, food prices is increasing rapidly in the last few years.
You might think, "I can still afford it", but if there are more and more people that can't afford it in your country, it will eventually affect you too.
@@coffeebucket54 how does that relate to the first comment
That’s probably not a gust of wind but a Tornado
I think there was no rotation but one directional strong gust of wind
Or a normal gust and chinese workmanship.
It's the wind coming from Siberia, here we called it North East Moonson as it blew literally cold air and we still experienced up to 60km/s winds occasionally.
Tornadoes are rare in the tropics. This was most likely a strong microburst from a thunderstorm.
technically it is a category 1 hurricane wind.
The construction is horrible.
Nope .
If the high-speed wind was blowing in your face, your reply probably won't be "Nope."
Architecture of all the surroundings buildings 100% made the wind worse
Extremely terrifying to be blown away by the heavy winds from a high rise , thats very scary. I can only imagine the terror of the victims 😔
Govt tells you they are so much better than America. 😂😂😂☠️
speaks to the quality of the infrastructure
Climate is getting worse day by day. Monthly, next cyclones will keep coming.
**Nods** Natural disasters are much more often. Extreme climate are real.
Disliking the solution offered is one thing, trying to hide your head under the sand pretending there is no problem is a whole different thing.
China is the top emitter of carbon dioxide. The top user of coal. The top user of oil and gas. The top manufacturer of cement and steel and the top polluter in the world next to India. This is a country that says it wants to be a role model for mankind and puts economic growth before climate. The rest of the world has to suffer for it not in terms of cheap throwaway goods but rising sea levels, melting glaciers and ice caps, tornados, hurricanes, storms, floods and crippling droughts.
actually we are still living in most stable era across earth history. The cycle will continue from stable -> unstable and so on.
@@arthurlincoln9093 China has also the second biggest population after India, so it's only logical that they pollute and waste more. While they still use very much coal and oil, they also invest tons of budgets into cleaner energy because they know that their country is getting hit by climate change big time. At the same time they modernize their public transit infrastructure like no other country in this world. China is a trouble maker, yes, but not the devil compared to the rest of the world like you're implying.
Yes
you know that build quality is cheap af
or you know, 72 mph is abnormal and really dangerous? That kind of wind is strong enough blow away roof and it only gets worse the higher you are.
Losers and China haters.
So message is : don't live in high rise appartments if you got typhoons or winds above 70mph. I doubt they could ever build a affordable unit that can offer safety with those windspeeds, unless it's small glass windows vs the big sheet of today's appartments or glass is mesh reinforced not a transparent sheet.
They can. But you can tell from the concrete frame being undamaged: The windowframes were not anchored. Probably a bad contractor just glued it with mastic sealer and nothing else.
Now you do need mastic sealer to connect window frames to the wall, but mastic sealer isn't even a full construction glue, too weak for that.
Tragedy but quality of construction is not questionable it’s abysmal
only 117kmh
I wonder if China is playing with the weather again. I lived there 4 years, and every time I saw multiple parallel chem trails in the sky, violent weather was 24 hours away.
First time hearing or seeing something like this😞
Somebody must go to jail because a 19th floor window generally designed to withstand way more than a 72mph wind.
May they rest in peace. Nature has given tremendous power of nurture to mothers. She dint care about her life..ran to save her child..Bless her heart.
I feel super sad for the grandma and grandson who got their candles blown out like that. But what even caused these gusts of winds to begin with? The video doesn't even explain that.
the glass should give up before the wind blow up the frame. there is a quality issue over there
cheaply made windows not wind proof
Wow sad, those windows should be rated to take winds like that
It’s heartbreaking when the Innocent people lost their lives from weather problems for the family who lost precious people and children they loved I’m sorry amen
Still cant understand how the concrete structures got destroyed
Strong wind isn’t the problem, subpar construction is the problem in China.
The man who helped the boss to save the tent must be given a raise! Now!
So if you live in leveled floor you at risk of floods, if you live in top floor you in risk of winds, where can someone go to live in peace 😢
Is the wind extemely strong or the building is poorly constructed to blow the window away?
Can you imagine the time you wake up you're already in another world.
How awful! I am so sorry
This sounds a lot like a tornado (at night) that didn't get enough time to properly take hold. Chinese building code sees these highrises endure typhoons twice a year (read: Pacific hurricanes).
what's a Chinese building code? are you trolling? the whole effing country is made of Tofu...building code, this guy.
@@jaynycha1705 China actually has one of the toughest building codes in the world, although it differs from area and province, but the country is largely an earthquake zone plus typhoon zone (that hits 2-3x a year), plus has to be flood-proof too, and withstand a once-in-50-year megaflood. As an architect the specs there are much more over-engineered, and something you need to get used to when working on that side of the world (Japan is similar) - Ring of Fire. However it's problem isn't so much the codes but enforcement and corruption, especially in older buildings from the 80s and 90s, when large amounts of unregulated, semi-legal buildings went up (and where you get the tofu moniker from). When the 2008 earthquake hit Sichuan older buildings crumbled across poorer, rural areas, while the entire city of Chengdu, pop 12 million, went unscathed at twice the earthquake-proofing intensity.
Stop the cap, bro -_- We're LITERALLY COMMENTING on a video where China's Tofu regulations are on full display. but here you are "aCTchUlLy!" just stop. @@zupermaus9276

Terrifying ordeal. Prayers for safety on these people🙏🙏🙏
Poor dad, lost his mum and kid in an instant 😢
I hope it's not a cultivator trying to breakthrough and causing anomaly.
the are no rail?? just glass window?
The windows are reinforced type and insulated for winter, the usual trolls here are from tropical South Asia and SE Asia have no ideal of windstorm. 117km/h would shatter every window and non-concrete roof in their region.
I am not from tropical South Asia or SE Asia and live in a city with very strong winds of over 150km/h on 15th floor apartment with double glazed glass windows and this never happened to me in 6 years so far. So there is some truth in chinese tofu dreg building quality.
Standard residential windows can withstand up to 124kmh winds. If you’re living in an area with strong winds and typhoons, more advanced windows can withstand almost 300 kmh winds.
um SE Asia like Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam literally gets very strong wind and typhoon every year. We do know what strong wind is.
Please. These windows are made of Tofu.
@@joanurb8015 Typhoon come from the sea, mainly coast area affected, but most people lived inland and buildings are low rise, the impact is limited.
It's like death made it's way in through winds. That's scary.
literally an airbed when it happened
Always choose ground floor apartment. Higher is more dangerous.
Chinese people want to be seen with money. They always choose the more expensive floor.
Ground floor no guarantee flood and collaspe of units above you😢

Am I the only one that read "Powerful ghost blew away windows"?
Very tragic. My condolences.
4 billion Chinese were not injured in the filming of this video...
How come the windows have no grills or iron bars
How would that help though? Wouldnt the glass shards get pass the grills
With the way the Chinese build their buildings (badly) I not surprised in the slightest.
