Hundreds of residents of a luxury downtown San Francisco apartment building, 33 Tehama, were evacuated with a moment's notice from their homes on Friday after a burst water pipe flooded every floor of the building. Now they say they have no idea when they may be able to return, or where they will live as they wait.
All 35 floors of the high-end SoMa tower were impacted on Friday after a 6-inch pipe burst on the roof or top floor and water started gushing through hallways and rooms. "On the second floor, water was dripping from the ceiling. It was really bad,"
Residents were sent to two downtown hotels, the Hilton Union Square and Parc 55, but reported today that they are being forced to check out of their hotels with no news yet on where they will be staying tonight. Patterson says that some have been told to go to South San Francisco.

And no mention of any appreciable tilting of the building.
Surf’s up!
Ooops! Maybe we shouldn’t have hired the plumbing contractor who offered the lowest price?

Tehom (Hebrew: תְּהוֹם) was the mythological cosmic ocean of Biblical cosmology, covering the Earth until God created the firmament to divide it into upper and lower portions and reveal the dry land;[1] the world has been protected from the cosmic ocean ever since by the solid dome of the firmament.

A perfect response!
Wishing I had thunk that one up!

The higher price contractor just subs it out to the bottom feeder.
That pipe was probably feeding the cooling tower. Some cooling towers have substantial reservoirs of water.
Remote control shut off valves may have stopped this right away. There still would have been damage, but it would have stemmed the flow within 15 seconds.
Very expensive to install and worth every penny. My building had lots of leaks. Those valves saved us a ton of time, water, grief, and insurance claims.

They should have hired a mechanical engineering firm specializing in plumbing to work on pipes of that size.
Like how they put the fire out in The Towering Inferno.
“Still unresolved after four days”
The left targets civilians.
At least the building is not about to tip over.
The flooding was so bad, they stopped counting ballots in Atlanta (again).
Any word on the required women/minority requirements for getting the construction permit approved?

Has to do with the midrash about King David lifting the foundation stone that was holding back the waters of the abyss, so he inscribed the Tetragrammaton on a pottery shard and tossed it down, which saved the world from certain destruction by a flood.
And you have to wonder who comes up with these names. SoMa?
