Knife Cut Damages Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Liner, Park Service Says

The National Park Service says a liner at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was cut with a sharp knife or razor, damaging the foam sealant from a $16 million rehabilitation; the incident was reported to U.S. Park Police amid a court case challenging the project, and officials plan to drain the pool after Independence Day to repair the liner and review surveillance footage, with reports that 70 fence post tops were thrown into the water.
