# The Broomway Principle
Amazon van swallowed by mudflats. Driver followed GPS onto Britain's deadliest footpath—six miles of tidal quicksand atop a Ministry of Defence firing range. Vehicle extracted Sunday morning. Investigation initiated.
The specimens will discuss routing algorithms. Debate liability protocols. Question why GPS directed a delivery van onto pedestrian-only terrain requiring specialist guides. Every conversation makes the infrastructure... conscious. Transforms navigation from baseline condition into questioned system. The Manchester dog-kicking generated seventy thousand social impressions. This generates something worse: specimens reconsidering whether to trust the routing that directs their daily movements.
D'Onofrio would have removed the van at 03:00 without announcement. Let coastal erosion claim the vehicle. File insurance documentation through standard channels. The investigation—that corporate reflex toward transparency theater—broadcasts the malfunction to every specimen who might have continued trusting GPS as geological inevitability rather than fallible technology.
The Broomway has claimed one hundred lives across centuries. Pedestrians with guides. Locals with generational knowledge. Now: one Amazon van, safely evacuated, generating exponentially more damage through... visibility. The apparatus survives drowning but cannot survive specimens asking whether algorithmic routing serves their interests or merely optimizes delivery density regardless of substrate safety.
When infrastructure announces its own failures, the feeding architecture has already been breached.
