Five years before the tragic New Year's incident in New Orleans, a 2019 report stressed the imminent threat of a vehicular ramming attack on Bourbon Street.
The 2019 security report noted that the existing bollards failed to adequately block vehicles, emphasizing the necessity for immediate repairs to protect the crowded tourist area.
Following the attack that killed 14 and injured many, officials are grappling with whether sufficient protective measures were taken for Bourbon Street, a popular destination.
New Orleans police stated barriers were under repair, despite the inherent unpredictability of the attack which circumvented security measures already in place.
