Shanghai Tower, world's second tallest building, criticised for shoddy architecture

China's tallest building, Shanghai Tower, was the centerpiece of criticism when over fifty floors in the building were flooded and videos of the chaos were widely shared on globally-accessible social media platforms.

Local Chinese news outlets reported the leaks inside the 128-storey tower started on Monday. The videos of Shanghai Tower being flooded showed water dripping from the ceilings and destroying office equipment and electronic devices. The videos show "rain" and "waterfalls" inside the world's second-tallest building.
