Earlier today an elevator collapsed due to a small package bomb. The elevator was located on the 30th floor loading a tour, majority of them being children. One of the children was the nephew of Lt. Gen. Patrick Renolof Jr. Commanding Officer of The U.S.S.S. Air Forces. The blast tore a hole in the roof of the Scheffield Financial Building and sent the elevator into the basement. An SAR team from Broad Street Trauma Center was dispatched to the scene by helicopter. Eyewitnesses say the helicopter settled over the roof and sent a team of three down the tunnel of debris 31 floors down into the basement. The team plucked each person out of the wreckage one by one, some dead and some barely alive. Each victim had to last a 4 minute winch ride up a static line into the helicopter. The times for each extraction at times reached 10 minutes each due to slight structural collapses in the tunnel. After the four hour rescue, all victims were pulled out. The current victims tally is: 5 dead, 4 seriously wounded. The nephew of Lt. Gen. Renolof has been pronounced paralyzed from the neck down.
Citizens praise the SAR teams and see once again why U.S.S.S.'s motto is: Cura Medica Superiore - Forza E Onore "Superior Medical Care - Strength And Honor" However they also realize that they are not free from attack. Contractors are busy reconstructing the Scheffield Financial Building and are staging greater security around federal buildings.
