Very interesting that many of the windows aren't even broken or cracked. Amazing, actually.

Just like the house (garage?) that the tree fell on - no broken windows, either perfectly fine or missing completely.
Our windows in this old house crack if you look at them funny...

I spoke with my friend who lives in Shanghai and he said that every body in his 50 story appartment building is VERY nervous... including himself.

Can you blame them? Jim cracks up everybody.

There's no way it could have fallen all in one piece! This was blown up by the Government!
I bet there was a BBC reporter there saying it had fallen before it did... |

That's strange, with the additional pressure on the north side and a hole on the south side, I would expect it to creep from north to south. Evidently the surface wasn't moving, only the subsoil. Must have been wetter down there.
