An aircraft crashed into Beijing's tallest skyscraper, the China Zun tower, on Friday afternoon, triggering emergency evacuations. The 528-meter-tall building, also known as the Citic Tower, is among the 10 tallest skyscrapers globally.
Dramatic footage shared on social media depicted debris descending from the 109-story structure. The visuals also showed a detached tail section of the aircraft and a damaged taxicab on the street below.
Eyewitnesses captured scenes of people evacuating the skyscraper as emergency services, including fire engines, police, and an ambulance, converged on the site. The China Zun tower serves as the headquarters for Citic Group, a major state-owned financial conglomerate in China. The number of casualties resulting from the incident remains unclear.
