 		[UPDATE] June 21 - Sentinel - Mobius Strip Support Structur
Quote:
Mobius Strip Support Structure Damaged
By FOSTER LIDDELL

A city-mandated annual inspection of the Mobius Strip has turned up cracks in some of the undersea support structures, leading some consumer advocacy groups to fear for the overall safety of the Strip. MDC spokesmen maintain the structure is perfectly sound.

Guy Willamette of the public interest group Civic Safety Watch expressed horror at the finding. "Erosion at the base of the Mobius Strip can result in nothing but tragedy," he said. Willamette suggested that, if left unchecked, the Strip could slide under the water, costing tens of thousands of lives. "MDC simply has to look into this problem and correct it before it's too late," he said.

Bob Mwalme, a senior engineer at MDC, indicated that the company has no plans to look into the cracks for signs of more serious underlying structural damage.

"It's just unconscionable that the MDC are ignoring this issue without even conducting their own engineer's report," fumed Bullets owner Tamara Grady. "If people are afraid for the safety of the Strip, they won't come and they won't spend. ... making a token effort at least to investigate could go a long way toward appeasing public opinion."

Mwalme protested that the cracks are no cause for public alarm. "The structure was designed to withstand the force of the ocean, tremors, and near-apocalyptic weather," he said. These newly-found cracks are "simply expected wear from the seasonal, temperature-related expansion and contraction of the construction materials."

The inspection is part of the Strip's annual due diligence, an integral part of the original construction deal wherein the City Council waived a number of local ordinances to allow the sea-based structure to be built.
