China is filled with numerous landmarks that dazzle and amaze tourists. Sometimes, these landmarks also almost crush them, which is rather unfortunate.

While no one was injured in the collapse of this tower, the events that unfolded were still pretty remarkable. Just a year after renovations, part of the roof on the Ming-era structure fell, causing a large plume of dust and chaos in the surrounding area.

Investigators are currently trying to discover the issue that led to this.
