ysabetwordsmithThese are the location notes for "A Response to Extreme Events."
Given the mayhem at hand, some of this content may be disturbing.
I will do my best to keep this stuff organized, but I have a mountain of notes for this incident. I'll try to focus first on an overview and the places mentioned in this poem. Later I'll post more stuff if I have time.
If you want to use GoogleMaps to explore the area, search for Gene Leahy Mall and then click the Street View layer. Be aware that not everything looks the same; L-Omaha and T-Omaha are similar, not identical. But you can tell directions and at least some of the major locations.
The cape fight started in the vicinity of Gene Leahy Mall in downtown Omaha. The Mall lies between Douglas Street (north) and Farnam Street (south), South 14th Street (west) and South 10th Street (east). Antimatter and Stalwart Stan started in the northeast part of the Mall near the corner of Douglas and South 10th Street.
The east end of the park points toward Burlington Capital Real Estate, which is the shorter white building near the top of the picture; and beyond that the Greenhouse Apartments, the tall red building and Conagra Lake in Heartland of America Park. About half of the top three stories are missing on the left / north side, cut at a concave angle. The street to the right of the park is Farnam, to the left is Douglas, and at the top is South 10th Street.
Across Farnam the buildings include a cluster of businesses with the historic Poppleton Block. The Downtown Coffee Company is between Matsu Sushi and Urbane Salon & Day Spa, near the corner of Farnam and South 10th Street. The roofs of these buildings are damaged, with civilian casualties on street. The large midrise includes Orangetheory Fitness, also with a partially damaged roof. The tall mirrored building is the Landmark Building, part of which is a hotel called the Farnam, Autograph Collection. About half of the top four floors are missing, cut somewhat flatter.
Passing through the park is South 13th Street, and toward the bottom is South 14th Street, beyond which lies the W. Dale Clark Main Library that is unscathed in the fight. The red building between those two streets is the State of Nebraska Office Building, cut vertically in half on the diagonal from the Farnam/S13 corner to the Harney/S14 corner, likely the true target of the rampage.
The Greenhouse Apartments building stands at the S 10th Street end of the Gene Leahy Mall, facing Farnam Street. The large plaza and pond face South 10th Street and the rectangular stairstep ponds face Douglas Street, so this is the corner that gets cut off.
The Greenhouse Apartments building is 7 large windows wide per side, so figure 14 apartments per floor on most floors, and 9 floors of windows of which the lowest is the amenity floor, so 8 residential floors. In T-America, the top two floors each have six 3-bedroom penthouses plus some premium amenities. Based on floor plans, many apartments have only one window, although the larger ones have more. With half of the top three floors sliced away, that's six 3-bedroom apartments and seven smaller ones, for a total of 13 units affected. Assume an average of 3 people per 2-bedroom apartment (21) and 4 people per 3-bedroom apartment (24) for a total of 45 residents. Most of those were probably away from home in daylight, so say 10 were home, of which 8 are fatalities and 2 survivors. Debris from the severed floors falls primarily into the plaza and water features below, possibly some onto South 10th Street and Farnam Street. Since many people will be outdoors socializing, figure 24 casualties, of which 8 are fatalities and 16 are survivors. Most casualties in this area will have crush/impact injuries.
Poppleton Block
Historical landmark
1001 Farnam St, Omaha, NE 68102
A cluster of businesses includes the historic Poppleton Block building along with several other structures built alongside it. The Downtown Coffee Company is between Matsu Sushi and Urbane Salon & Day Spa. The others include Shahi India Grill (on the far side of Matsu Sushi), The Nail Shop (next to Urbane Salon), and Omaha Visitors center along Farnam Street. The roofs of the buildings are damaged, and Shahi catches fire. Civilian casualties on the sidewalk and street take direct damage from the disintegration beam plus some impact damage from the falling debris. Lots of people will be out in daylight. Figure 30 casualties, of which 5 are fatalities, 10 serious, and 15 minor to moderate. This area has a lot of beam injuries because it hit street level in front of the Downtown Coffee Company.
Matsu Sushi
1009 Farnam St, Omaha, NE 68102
Matsu Sushi has a pocket park beside it. The outside is sleek white and the interior has tables with a service counter.
Shahi India Grill
1015 Farnam St, Omaha, NE 68102
Shahi India Grill serves Asian fusion cuisine. The interior is elegantly decorated. In addition to damaging the roof, the beam causes the kitchen to catch fire.
The large midrise includes Orangetheory Fitness, along with offices and such, which has a partially damaged roof. This will cause debris injuries on the sidewalk, say 10 with 0 fatalities. The fitness center is a good source of citizen responders, because fitness mavens tend to know first aid and people who respond to emergencies like to stay fit. It has a first aid room tailored to sport-type injuries, thus good for impact injuries (bad bruises, abrasions, and broken bones) but not so much for heavy bleeding. All customer-facing staff members should know at least basic first aid; all teachers and personal trainers should know intermediate to advanced first aid. Figure 10 employees on duty, 5 with basic and 5 with higher first aid; 30 customers, all athletic, 20 with basic first aid and 10 with higher first aid; none injured as they were indoors and roof damage didn't extend into inhabited areas.
The tall mirrored building is the Landmark Building, part of which is a hotel called the Farnam, Autograph Collection. Others include RSM US LLP Accountant, Booz Allen Hamilton Business management consultant, and Bridgepoint Investment Banking. It has about half of the top four floors missing, cut somewhat flatter, on the side facing the Nebraska State Office Building. The lowest level is the amenity floor, including a stylish restaurant and bar. There are 14 windows per floor on the facing side, so about 28 hotel rooms are affected, 14 occupied, and 18 fatalities. At street level, there are 30 casualties, 10 fatalities and 20 moderate injuries. Some of these are due to the ground-level windows shattering from debris. Unlike other buildings which are mostly brick, this falling debris contains a large amount of glass, which creates bleeding injuries even though the beam didn't touch the street level. Furthermore, the debris falls into South 13th Street, blocking it completely; and Farnam Street, making it difficult for vehicles to get past. Another 23 people are trapped in cars, with trivial or no injuries but unable to escape without help due to the fallen debris.

The red building between South 13th Street and South 14th Street is the State of Nebraska Office Building, cut vertically in half on the diagonal from the Farnam/S13 corner to the Harney/S14 corner, likely the true target of the rampage. A quirk of architecture has the windows deepset with angled frames, minimizing damage from falling debris, and the shell is solid brick. Inside there are 45 casualties, 15 fatalities, 30 moderate injuries, from a mix of beam and debris.
