Terrifying 16 Tofu-Dreg High-Rise Apartments Lean, Over 3000 People Urgently Evacuate

Recently, in the Bi Gui Yuan residential area of Balitai Town, Jinnan District, Tianjin City, tens of  26-story high-rise apartment buildings experienced subsidence, building tilting, exterior wall detachment, and foundation cracks. Approximately 3,000 residents were urgently relocated. Videos circulating online show that the underground parking lot of the residential area was filled with water, and water was dripping from multiple points of the ceiling. Additionally, there were significant cracks on one of the walls and the ground, with a substantial accumulation of collapsed building debris.

Additionally, the roads within the residential compound have started to bulge and swell in rolling appearance, with cracks developing and expanding. The ground and lawn have also seen the appearance of numerous cracks of varying widths. Measurements show that some cracks on the ground are about 40 centimeters wide.

However, what stood out most was a red ten-story building located on the east side of Balitai Road. This building, directly opposite buildings 38 and 39, exhibited significant tilting. On June 3, a netizen wrote that it almost fell down…

Construction and surveying personnel could be seen throughout the residential compound. From the eastern fence of the compound, one could observe a considerable number of construction workers and vehicles on Balitai Road.
At present, relevant experts are carrying out exploratory inspections on the damaged roads and buildings. The cause of the issue is still under further investigation.

This isn't a matter of becoming less intelligent upon becoming an academician, but a systemic issue. Academic discourse has become a form of power and hence, a target of corruption and manipulation."
