The concrete frame around where the window frames was, shows no signs of anchors being ripped out of the concrete.

Mastic sealer isn't even a full construction glue.

The higher the elevation, the windier it gets. But this was a typhoon storm level of wind I think. Also the windows were not installed properly or had poor material quality.

How sad.

wait, did all the incident happen in the same building?? or did other nearby building suffer the same damage to their window? It was a powerful gust but if it didn't happen to any other building nearby the region... the building itself could be a problem.

I guess the building envelope consultant didnt test the lateral forces properly~ If the developer ever even hired one.

Engineering needs to change everything and rebuild all. Wind will continue appear an time, so stay away from glass windows when heard storm coming.

In india we also face a small tornado in 31 march 🌪. 3 was dead . Shocking is that never before seen this types of tornado.

Very, very sad. But I myself would never live in a building that tall. NEVER!

This is such a tragedy. Nobody wants to go that way. I am so sorry for your loss.

Hong Kong buildings are withstanding 120 to 130km typhoons once every few years, our buildings are standing strong with no danger with integrity. A lot are built by mainland China constructors some were from British era. Yes serious devastation was made regardless but we had no record of people dragging out of windows like this. I suspect it is a small tornado suddenly forming in a residential area, and by experience, it's very likely debris got blow up from ground and hit the building windows, creating vulnerable spots as the wind twisted pulling everything out.

The building codes and compliance of these buildings will likely come under scrutiny. If the wind were really that moderate the windows shouldn’t have been blown out.

As an architect the specs there are much more over-engineered, and something you need to get used to when working on that side of the world (Japan is similar) - Ring of Fire.
