A broken water main near the UCLA campus sent a geyser of water some 30 feet
into the air, forcing the rescue of people trapped in underground parking
garages and covering some of the best-known parts of campus in water.
The pipe that broke under nearby Sunset Boulevard made a raging river of the
street and sent millions of gallons of water across the school's athletic
facilities, including the famed floor of Pauley Pavilion, the neighboring
Wooden Center and the Los Angeles Tennis Center, and a pair of parking
structures that took the brunt of the damage.
The arena - where Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Reggie Miller and Kevin
Love starred and John Wooden coached for 10 years - recently underwent a
$132 million renovation that was completed in October 2012.
