No earthquakes were recorded at the time and local authorities do not know what caused the 300m building to wobble.

Strange. Everyone must of walked at the same time making the building vibrate !
Something set that off. Odd
I'm curious to know if there is an issue with the building or this is simply a case of mass hysteria stemming from a tall building swaying in the wind. This story reminded me of the thin 432 Park Avenue building in New York, which has had a catalogue of problems since residents moved in, such as lifts not working during high winds - https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/feb/07/supertall-skyscraper-new-york-432-park-avenue-rich
Investigators found the shaking was caused by the 210 feet roof mast. Winds were making it vibrate. The roof mast is currently being dismantled and will be replaced with something else.
