As new protective bollards were being installed, the attacker maneuvered a vehicle, resulting in a tragic loss of life.

This incident highlights the gaps in security during pivotal upgrade phases.

The shocking incident unfolded when Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran, drove a pickup truck adorned with an Islamic State flag into New Orleans’ lively New Year’s celebration.

This act of terror claimed the lives of 15 innocent people.

The FBI is now investigating the attack as a terrorist act, believing that Jabbar might not have acted alone.

In a scene of chaos, the attack sparked pandemonium along Bourbon Street with dozens injured.

Guns and simplistic explosive devices were found in Jabbar’s vehicle, with other dangerous devices discovered throughout the French Quarter.

The aftermath caused the postponement of a college football playoff game, underlining the gravity of the event.

Disturbingly, Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. citizen from Texas, had a military background and served in Afghanistan.

In his final messages, he openly expressed his admiration for the Islamic State, showing a clear desire to commit mass murder.

President Biden condemned the act, describing it as “despicable” and offering condolences to the victims and their families.

“We did indeed have a plan, but the terrorist defeated it,” said police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick, cited by The New York Times.

New Orleans had initiated a $40 million safety upgrade, installing bollards designed to prevent vehicle attacks.

However, the replacement process, especially removal periods, left areas vulnerable.

Temporary asphalt patches used during construction likely contributed to the breach.

Official sources have yet to confirm whether this lapse directly facilitated the tragedy.

The city’s efforts to replace these crucial safety barriers highlight its ongoing commitment to pedestrian safety. Yet, as the recent catastrophe shows, unforeseen lapses can happen even with meticulous planning.

The city had increased security by deploying additional police officers, but the temporary replacement left gaps for the attack.

“We did have a car there, we had barriers there, we had officers there, and they still got around,” Kirkpatrick said.
