Giant cracks in a road have sparked chaos in China as thousands of residents are evacuated over fears that their teetering skyscrapers will come tumbling down.

Cracks as wide as a fist broke through the road surfaces near a residential complex in the city of Tianjin in northern China, causing panic on social media.

Some 3899 residents in at least three 25-floor buildings had been evacuated to nearby hotels as of Saturday, the district media said in a social media post.
