Burst pipe causes massive flooding in the West building

After midnight last night, a pipe burst on the 10th or 11th floor of the West building of 3003, causing large-scale flooding all the way down to at least the 2nd floor.

Water poured through ceilings and walls of apartments below. Some residents reported water in their apartments several inches deep. Some electrical outlets crackled, raising concerns for safety. Water flooded some of the hallways and stairwells many floors below the burst pipe.

Residents alerted the front desk staff, who reported that an off-site maintenance team was at least an hour away. Someone set off a fire alarm. The water to the entire building was eventually shut off, but water continued to flood the lower floors for at least several hours.
