"Last year, Ding Jiangang, deputy head of the capital airport's expansion project command, said the roof was designed to resist winds of 28.3 meters (93 feet) per second, China Daily reported."
Hmm, 93 feet per second- put that into the ol' crackulator and that equals... wait for it... 63 miles per hour. Last time I checked, a 63 mile-per-hour roof isn't adequate anywhere. Unless that's a typo, I think we've found the problem.
