The New York City structure is officially open again after three years. Editor’s note: mentions of suicide and death.

Happening in the World: Moldovans say Yes to the pro-EU constitutional changes by a thin margin. As of Monday afternoon, the official data reports that 50.46% of voters said Yes and 49.54% said No. The closeness of the vote has come as a shock as it was expected to be a large percentage of Yeses among citizens. The nation’s current President, Maia Sandu, criticized the narrow results by claiming that it was a result of foreign interference in local politics. The foreign interference in question is believed to be Russia as, in recent weeks, Moldovan authorities uncovered a massive scheme of payments coming from the country to pay people to vote against Sandu’s re-election and the EU referendum.

Happening in the US: Authorities have begun investigating reasons behind the failure of a ferry dock in Georgia that killed seven during a festival celebrating the Gullah Geechee people. The incident occurred midafternoon on Saturday as dozens loaded the dock awaiting a boat trip back to the mainland. All seven of the individuals killed were over 70 years old. According to Walter Rabon, the commissioner of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the initial findings have shown a catastrophic failure of the gangway that triggered the collapse. However, investigators and engineers will continue to gather evidence and interview witnesses to come to gain further information. (NYT) 

Happening in NYC: The Vessel at Hudson Yards has officially been reopened, this time with suicide prevention measures and an inaccessible top level. Three years following its closing, the 150 foot structure has been enhanced with floor-to-ceiling steel mesh barriers, encasing its stairways and platforms. According to a spokesperson, the barriers were designed to be cut-proof and weather-resistant. These measures were requested by the city and local community following the death of four civilians who jumped from its upper levels in 2021.  (Gothamist)
