New Orleans had top-of-the-line barriers to prevent car attacks — but didn't use them on New Year's
The city bought the 700-pound steel Archer barriers in 2017 and previously used them to protect crowded streets during Mardi Gras, a security company said.
New Orleans had access to effective anti-vehicle barriers ahead of the Bourbon Street attack on New Year’s Eve revelers that killed at least 14 people and wounded dozens more, but the city did not deploy those barriers until a day after the carnage unfolded, and the head of the local police department said she had been unaware of them.
