Leak sends water pouring into Apple Store on Fifth Avenue

A small leak suddenly sent water pouring into the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue
and 59th Street in Manhattan this morning.

"I was down there at 5:45am because I had trouble backing up my computer and
everyone started yelling," customer Errol Rappaport, 68, told The Post.
"There was a leak then--boom--the whole thing opened up out of the ceiling.
Then everyone started scrambling, moving tables...It didn't look like there
were any electrical issues otherwise they would have evacuated the store."

The flood began around 8 a.m., Rappaport said, as a heavy rain was falling
across the city.

Workers mopping up water at the Apple Store this morning.
Apple employees quickly got to work removing the water, he added, noting that
roughly 15 customers were in the store at the time.

"It didn't look like any electronics were damaged," he said.

The leak appeared to be confined to the west side of the store.

According to one worker, today's deluge of water may have been due to
problems with construction completed last year on the roof of the store.

"It's because of the construction they did last year on the roof," the worker
said. "They didn't do it right. There are large flat stones up there [that
you walk across as you go into the store]. And with the heavy rain this
morning, [the water] came through."

Another worker added, "There was a drainage problem with heavy rain."

Shortly before 10 a.m., it looked like most of the water had been mopped up,
but there was still a wet, 40-45-foot section of the store that was blocked
off.

The store remained open the whole time, though.

A few of the ceiling tiles, two of which were badly warped by the water, were
still dripping into dumpsters. There were also six or seven square plastic
buckets on the floor of the affected area.

A long table on the west side of the store displaying iPads was covered with
plastic.

大意如下：
美國時間5/8號早上約8點左右發生水災，據員工表示此次淹水可能是去年整修屋頂所造成
的後遺症。

大部分的水在10點前都清掃完畢不過部分的地板還是有點溼，即使如此，還是對外開放
營業，保持全年24小時無休的傳統。
