Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the incident, but the resolution to the situation is unclear. 

While some viewers argue that such activities are an annual occurrence and pose no public danger, others are concerned about the potential risks involved 

‘They do this every year. This is water that accumulates upstream and would have flowed into the sea anyway. They were just having fun, speeding up the process. It’s nothing alarming,’ one said.

‘There is no reason for the cops to shut it down. Nothing wrong, no danger….. just control. No other country would have done this to the people having fun…..,’ another user said.   

Others condemned the act. 

‘Oh my dear Lord …… what a moron …. why didn’t they build a barricade to contain the canal ????’ 

‘Well, no wonder US infrastructure systems are really sucks right now,’ another joked.
