I wonder what action, if any, would/could have been taken to reverse the temporary blowout of the bottom seal?
Could it be that it simply blew and that the gate then quickly settled and resealed itself...i.e. metal into mud/dirt?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77752625 ^Seems to be the consensus atm. Consensus ... AS REPORTED IN THE NEWS? What's happening here?? Asking for a couple hundred thousand friends. If I recall correctly, the bottom of the gates is steel on steel, with weight of gate and water doing the sealing. Sides and top use hydraulically inflated seals.
