THE DECADES DANCE THAT ROCKED
Tuesday night explosions were detonated in several buildings across campus as students and staff celebrated the holiday. After attending the annual Madison County Fair, students and staff all dressed in retro clothes attended a decades dance before a fireworks show in honor of the nation’s birthday.
Among the targeted buildings were the Ballroom where the dance was being held. Festivities had been in full swing for over an hour when first explosion went off. Followed by two more in the coming minutes, compromising the structure of the building and collapsing on those inside.
Few made it out despite injuries but the rest remained inside as rubble from the floors above barricaded the door. Sources say the falling debris also trapped multiple persons inside as well as outside the building.
Those who could sprung into action immediately. Ushering people towards exits, freeing those trapped, and guiding those who were too stunned to move. Amidst the chaos, people were helping each other and banding together.
Coinciding with the explosions in the ballroom, blasts shook the professor housing. Most of the rooms were vacant as the residents were out celebrating. Those inside were subjected to the same three explosions and reports say a flash of green that has yet to be identified light up the third floor.Â
Debris was cleared from the ballroom. Allowing crews access to the injured and expediting the process. All buildings affected in the attacks are closed off. “Under no circumstances are any persons allowed to try and gain access to these buildings,” comes the official word from SHIELD.
Again, those involved rose to the challenge and brought out the injured, escorting all involved to nearby SHIELD agents for medical attention. Exact numbers on the injured are still undetermined as explosions went off in five other buildings which appear to have been empty at the time. SHIELD’s first priority is to take care of those injured in the attacks.
At press time two professor’s remain unaccounted for. The Rec Center has been set up as temporary housing for those who’s homes were affected. Shield and residents alike are looking into the source of this incident. Captain America had this to say to those responsible.Â
“[...] It comes as no shock that you are a coward. You are afraid of us, of our community, of our strength. You tried to take us down during a time where we were all vulnerable. You tried to take us down, and yet, we’re still here. You can’t outrun justice. You can’t outrun us. We’re still here, we’re alive and we won’t stop until your hatred is diminished and gone.”
