STRUCTURAL FAILURE IN MULTILEVEL MEGACITY FORCES MASS EVACUATION
By Flemington HillsResidents in Urban Expansion Project were issued a week long evacuation notice after an assessment confirms the widespread structural damage linked to the nuclear detonation outside the metropolitan area.
While the UEP megastructure was not within the blast radius, officials report that the shockwave and seismic stress have compromised its structural integrity. Engineers emphasize that the damage is unevenly distributed, with some levels remaining stable while others show signs of progressive collapse.
EVERY LEVEL HAS A TIME BOMB
Evacuation orders now apply from Level 1 - 7. Government estimates the number of displaced residents at over 27,000, with relocation efforts ongoing.
Engineers report stress-related degradation in several base plates and vertical support columns. While the primary structure remains intact, deformation has affected stability.
Residents are advised not to use unofficial passages between levels to avoid casualty even if the transits are blocked.
TRANSIT DISRUPTIONS
Several public elevators remain operational but rail lines and elevators in the heavily affected areas will be closed. Ongoing services are experiencing disruptions over the past 48 hours. Power distribution is currently being rationed for preservation.
ELEVATOR MALFUNCTION ON RUDOLF STREET, FIVE INJURED
Emergency response teams were dispatched late yesterday afternoon following a mechanical failure involving a passenger elevator on Rudolf Street, Level 2. None are currently in critical condition.
Reports indicate that the vertical lift system experienced a sudden stall, then dropped several meters before automated braking and safety cables engaged.
Maintenance technician Nubella Middleton, who was on duty nearby, told reporters,
Services on all elevators from Area A, B, C, D, and E serving Levels 1 - 3 has been temporarily suspended until further notice. Residents are advised to use alternative pillar lifts where available.
