What happened
On [REDACTED] at [REDACTED] the ACT entered IBU21 lock with a delivery of animals. Once animals are entered in the port the ACT has a 5-minute wait time before the IBU staff pulls them in the room from the port. During this wait time the ACT leaned on the lock door to the left of the stairs to enter which was already open.
