HALIFAX – The Nova Scotia Health Authority has released an updated video of the impact of flooding last week at the Victoria General site of the VG Health Sciences Centre.
The video includes photos of one office that’s filled with water. Papers and ceiling tile debris can be seen floating around a desk chair.
The video also shows damage to ceilings, as well as crews working to clean up the mess.
The building was flooded on Thursday, September 24, 2015. According to NSHA, a stopper in a one-inch pipe corroded and failed, sending water gushing into a supply room.
Water then seeped down through the building, causing damage on the fourth and third floors as well.
Approximately 50 patients had to be evacuated to other areas of the QEII , including ICU patients.
Patients and visitors inside the building at the time described the situation as chaotic, with “rain in the elevators”.
