This whole thing is getting really strong monster movie (like Cloverfield or Alien) vibes:

Mysterious chunk just missing from a building
Limited search for survivors
Armed guard to prevent access (some sort of infection?)
Rapid destruction of the site

Except the monster is just the incredibly corrosive effects of Capitalism.

imo one of :jordan-eboy-peterson:’s stopped clock moments is how the flood myth can be seen as a cultural analogy for civil dysfunction. We build up giant systems collectively over generations and by the time they start falling apart due to corruption, the effects of their failure can really feel supernatural.
