Irradiated building collapses under immense pressure, kills 30 people
On the 12th of September, a tragic disaster occurred on Arlington Avenue, as a residential building collapsed under intense stress, claiming the lives of 30 residents. The collapse was concluded to have been caused by prolonged neglect of the structure's supports. Said supports were corroded due to the continuous misscare of the buildings concreate.
The building, well known to have been long in disrepair, had been marked down multiple times for occasional checkups of its compromised infrastructure.
The General Building Administration (GBA), an organization responsible for building and certifying the building's safety during its initial construction, now finds itself under intense scrutiny.
Experts conclude that this could've been properly handled, but wasn't and now remains an embarrassing stain on the General Building Admission, which verified this buildings construction several years prior. As far as journalists have gathered, the GBA plans on compensating families that have lost their loved ones to this tragedy.
As investigations of the trauma site continue, The Arlington Avenue collapse has sparked broader discussions about the long-term sustainability of Sync City. Many city officials are calling for a mass reassessment of the longevity of several other buildings within Sync City to prevent further disasters.
For now, Arlington Avenue remains a grim reminder of the consequences of neglect and mismanagement.
