Taiwan Earthquake: Taipei 101, Taiwan tallest skyscraper survived amid tilting buildings | Oneindia
The recent 7.2 magnitude earthquake shook Taiwan, leaving widespread devastation in its path.
Amidst the chaos, one structure stood resilient: Taipei 101, formerly the world's tallest skyscraper.
While countless buildings succumbed to the tremors, Taipei 101's survival can be attributed to its innovative design, featuring a massive steel orb known as a tuned mass damper.
This architectural marvel, constructed with a combination of reinforced concrete and steel, enabled the skyscraper to sway with the seismic waves without suffering any damage.
