New Orleans Vehicle Barriers Were NOT Raised Before Terrorist Attack

Although the barriers were down, they were also reported to be in the process of being replaced at the time of the New Year's event.

The attacker drove on the sidewalk, raising the question as to if the barriers are even effective.

Following the New Years terrorist attack in New Orleans, Louisiana where a man purposefully ran over people in a truck, questions began to be raised as to why the vehicle barriers (also called diversity barriers) were not raised prior to the New Years celebration event.

“We have these hydraulic steel barriers from past events. Last Mardi Gras this happened, to an extent, maybe not terrorism, but still people getting hit in mass,” eyewitness Jimmy Cothran told CNN. “Those barricades were not up. Period. They had the flimsy orange ones that you could just push over with your finger. We actually thought it was kind of odd.”

Journalist Doug MacCash of Nola reported on-location and filmed the barriers. A police officer raised and lowered the barrier, showing safety equipment in action.

While the barriers intended to stop vehicles were not put up, allowing the attacker to drive into the crowded event, different styles of diversity barriers have been shown to not be effective at blocking large commercial trucks, although notably, the New Orleans terrorist drove a smaller passenger pickup truck.

It was reported that the barriers were being ‘replaced’ during the busy event, which some question the legitimacy of.

Even if the barriers were up, the attacker drove on the sidewalk, raising the question of the true effectiveness of the barriers.
