Leaning building of Nanjing
We often carry stories about weird and dangerous buildings but none come close to this. A six-story residential structure in Nanjing has been leaning to one side and now relies solely on the building behind it to remain standing.
Some residents have fled the dangerous structure while others are staying put as the rent is cheaper.
No owner or developer has tried to make the tower safer. The building was constructed in 1980s and changed several hands after its constructor, a State-owned company, sold it to a private firm.
Our next story shows participants running 'naked' in freezing cold.
