It is currently unclear if the flooding was weather-related.
Citizen App video also showed buckets and a trash can apparently placed strategically in an attempt to capture the water pouring from the ceiling, while the area around the waterfall was closed off as subway riders walked around the wet, puddle-filled floor and as crews worked to clean up the soggy mess.
