00:00On Monday 19 de May, something unexpected happened. Hundreds of old roof tiles suddenly fell from the

00:09historic Fengyang Drum Tower in Anhui Province, China. This event caused quite a shock to everyone

00:14nearby. The collapse of the tiles was not a slow affair, it happened very quickly, lasting only

00:19one to two minutes. Imagine the scene, a peaceful evening, then a sudden cascade. Tiles rained down

00:26from high above the ground filling the air with a surprising sharp sound. The Fengyang Drum Tower

00:31is not just any building, it is a very important historical landmark. It has stood for many

00:37centuries connecting us to the distant past. People come from far and wide to admire its

00:42architecture and learn its history. Fortunately, despite the drama, no people were injured during

00:47this startling event. Tourists and local people present at the time had to move quickly to find

00:52safety. It was a frightening experience for them undoubtedly, but the most important thing is

00:57that everyone was safe. This was a great relief amidst the unfolding situation.

01:04The tourists visiting the Drum Tower had a sudden fright. They were enjoying the historic site,

01:10perhaps taking photographs when the tiles began to fall. They had to scramble to run for safety.

01:15Their peaceful visit turned into an urgent escape. The damage to the tower was clear for all to see.

01:21Hundreds of tiles lay shattered on the ground below. The upper section of the tower suffered this

01:26partial collapse. Immediately after the tiles fell, the scene was chaotic. A large cloud of dust filled

01:33the air, obscuring vision and adding to the confusion. Swift action was taken to manage the situation.

01:40Emergency response teams were activated quickly, and local authorities worked to evacuate all bystanders

01:45from the area. By 11 o'clock that same night, the site was secured with barriers to keep people at a

01:51safe distance. The Feng Yang Drum Tower has a very long and rich history. It was first built in the

01:59year 1375 during the famous Ming Dynasty in China. Imagine this tower has stood for over 600 years,

02:06watching centuries of history unfold around it. In ancient times, drum towers like this one played

02:12a vital role. The great drum within would be beaten to announce official ceremonies and mark the different

02:17of the day. This particular drum tower in Feng Yang is very special, considered one of China's largest and

02:22most significant drum towers. Its sheer size and architectural style are impressive, standing as a

02:28testament to the ambitions of its creators. The base of the tower, the original Ming era part, is precious,

02:34and was designated as a provincial key cultural relic in 1989. It is a place where history feels alive and

02:41tangible. We must cherish such places. The tower is also a major attraction for visitors today.

02:51People who were there saw and heard the event unfold. Eyewitnesses described the sounds very

02:56clearly, hearing the crisp, sharp crack of tiles hitting the ground. First, there was a slow sliding

03:02sound one tile after another, then suddenly, a large section detached and fell. The visual impact was also

03:08dramatic. With a large cloud of grey-brown dust billowing out from the tower, local people expressed a mixture

03:14of shock and relief. Many noted that the timing was, in a way, fortunate. If the collapse had happened a little

03:20later in the evening, it could have been worse, as children often play in the area near the tower after dinner.

03:26The news of the incident spread very quickly on Weibo, a popular social media platform.

03:31The hashtag, feng yang drum tower collapsed was widely used, showing how much people care about

03:38their heritage. It also reflects the shock that such a well-known landmark could suffer this.

03:43Public attention was high.

04:38Ancient structures like the Fengyang Drum Tower are inherently fragile

04:45They have endured for centuries through changing weather and time

04:49Making them precious but also vulnerable

04:51They require constant care, attention and expert knowledge

04:55The Fengyang Drum Tower itself had shown signs of needing help

04:58With recurring structural problems since at least 2017

05:02Issues like tiles becoming dislodged and damage to the eaves of the roof were noted

05:07These problems were the reason for the major renovation in 2023-2024

05:17We want to maintain their historical authenticity while ensuring they are safe for people today

05:22This incident at Fengyang serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges faced in preserving cultural heritage worldwide

05:29Many ancient sites around the globe require similar dedication, resources and expertise

07:09Reflecting the confidence and artistry of that age

07:12For the community it is more than just an old building

07:15It embodies their cultural heritage and a sense of pride

07:19The original upper wooden structure was destroyed in 1853

07:23And efforts to reconstruct it in 1995 show a strong desire to restore its architectural glory

07:28The current incident is another chapter in its long eventful life

07:32Its story continues

07:33The most important outcome of the Fengyang drum tower incident is that no one was hurt

07:41However, the event itself raises many serious questions and acts as a clear warning sign for us all

07:50We must pay close attention

07:52This incident in Anhui Province can be seen as a case study with lessons for heritage management worldwide

07:58It underscores the critical need for rigorous standards in renovation work and ongoing maintenance

08:03Continuous monitoring of historic structures is essential especially after major renovation or repair work

08:10Expert assessments should be carried out regularly to identify potential problems early on

08:16This proactive approach is key to long-term preservation

08:20We have a responsibility to protect these irreplaceable links to our human past
