At least 3 were removed recently. [ link to pbs.twimg.com (secure)] They just happen to be under the side that had the leak issue. Did one thing lead to another? Hard to say for sure, but usually when you work on something and then something goes wrong right around that area? it's usually related to the work you just did. IMO the whole concrete Monolith that is the "Gate house" isn't going to flex a whole lot in and of itself. It will move as a whole unit, if it's going to move or shift at all. Except it isn't a monolith. Poured in sections using the minimal reinforcement methods of the time. I can envision it flexing side to side as the substrate settles. We have seen that in the inspection reports, where the stainless steel wear bars on one side of a gate show no wear, but the opposite side has huge gouges.
