SHENYANG, China, April 29 (UPI) -- Huge chunks of a Chinese high-rise's external wall peeled off the side of the building and plummeted 15 stories to the ground below.

The wall peels as the pieces fall from the top, stripping the exterior of the building to an inner layer of wall.

Reports indicated three cars were damaged by the falling wall, but no injuries were reported.

The reason for the wall's fall was unclear.
