New Orleans truck attack could have been prevented with proper use of steel barriers, inventor claims

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • The recent truck attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day resulted in 14 fatalities and numerous injuries.
  • Peter Whitford, the CEO of Meridian Rapid Defense Group, stated that utilizing the steel Archer barriers could have changed the outcome significantly.
  • The barriers, which had been previously acquired by the city, were stored away due to deployment challenges, despite their success in similar incidents elsewhere.
  • Whitford and his team are actively working with local authorities to enhance the deployment procedures and provide necessary training for effective use of the barriers.
  • As New Orleans prepares for major events, officials are under scrutiny for not deploying the barriers at the time of the attack, leading to potential legal action from victims' families.
