Delta Center

Blackout hammers the Delta Center, seven minutes of impenetrable darkness swallowing the arena's vast bowl alive with panicked echoes. Cheers choke off mid-roar as lights die, spectators claw through inky chaos across concrete stands and polished floor—emergency generators cough to life too late, sirens wailing faintly. This sports colossus warps into a nerve center of dread, its blackout a jagged piece of the coordinated assault ripping through the night, broadcasting vulnerability from Salt Lake's heart to the White House's war room.
