Though the gate had worked before, witnesses say it didn’t close this time despite warning lights flashing. This isn’t the first time the gate’s reliability has been questioned—back in 2014, similar flooding led officials to blame rainfall alone and speed up inspections. Now, city leaders are partnering with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to analyze video and sensor data to determine if the system malfunctioned. Mayor Aftab Pureval vows to review all critical infrastructure after major storms to prevent future disasters, with results pending as the investigation continues.
