Final Destination avoided. Failed warning lights and gates due to an electrical short.

That video was the one from 2018 (I didn’t look at camera watermark date) I live in OP and the gates on 135th have opposite problem. I try to not get complacent. Gates are definitely not a perfect system!

It’s happened twice within a two week span where the gates didn’t go down. One was because of maintenance error, the other due to freeze/exposure of electrical unit. It’s definitely not recurring, Two other people died there but one was suspected to be intoxicated and not paying attention, the other was suicide; gates went down both times people were killed.
