A video emerged online showing a carpark gantry barrier malfunctioning at the exit of the multi-storey carpark.
The carpark gantry barrier was seen moving up and down, “hammering” the ground in the process.
It was a menacing sight for the drivers, with the barrier looking like it was trying to kill them.
It is presently unclear where exactly the incident happened, although it appears to be in the heartlands, at a HDB estate.
Netizens try to explain the occurrence
As always, investigative netizens trying to explain what was happening by offering their two-cents in the comments.
A netizen commented that the barrier was possessed by Gandalf from Lord of The Rings, reenacting the famous “you shall not pass” moment from the movies.
Another netizen said that the barrier wanted to change jobs but couldn’t so it is throwing a tantrum.
And another netizen explained that the barrier was trying to dig into the ground to gather crude oil.
Perhaps the most compelling explanation of all, a netizen said that the gantry barrier saw a cockroach and wanted to squish it but got caught red-handed so it decided to act like it malfunctioned (ie. Toy Story).
