Video: Workers hanging from building in China sway in strong winds

A video released this Thursday (30) shows workers on the external walls of the China Central Television (CCTV) headquarters building in Beijing, swaying in the air due to strong winds.

Reuters was able to locate video of nearby buildings and road layouts that match satellite and archival images. Corroborating videos showed the same scene. However, Reuters was unable to confirm when the videos were filmed.

The Beijing Meteorological Department published a statement on WeChat – a popular messaging app in the country – on Thursday saying that strong thunderclouds, thunderstorms and gusty winds occurred from northwest to southeast in Beijing on the afternoon of May 30, with small hailstones in some areas.

The average rainfall in the city was 3.4 mm. During storms, short-lived gusts of wind occurred in most areas of the city.
