Heather Genusa expressed her heartbreak over her fiancé Brandon Taylor’s death in the New Year's Day truck attack, stating that it was a senseless tragedy that could have been prevented. She criticized city officials for failing to implement effective vehicle barriers that could have protected the crowd, pointing out how the lack of safety measures directly contributed to the suffering of victims and their families. 'He died for no reason,' Genusa lamented, highlighting her outrage over the incident.
The missing protective barriers that day were key in preventing potential casualties during public festivities, as evident from a recent incident at the Pasadena Rose Parade where L-shaped Archer barriers successfully stopped a vehicle attempting to harm spectators. This reinforces the need for cities to learn from previous incidents across the globe—including attacks in Nice and Barcelona—and implement strategic safety measures consistently. Genusa emphasized that past tragedies elsewhere should have prompted New Orleans to prioritize the safety of its citizens.
