"Raising trucks with the removal of the horse to increase the damage of terrorism"...Washington's security tightens

Washington, D.C. police, alarmed by the truck attack, have stepped up their guard amid an analysis that the damage from the New Orleans truck crash, which caused dozens of casualties, has grown due to clearing stakes that prevent the car from rushing.

The Washington Post reported that at the time of the truck crash, the bollard, or street stake, a structure that prevents vehicles from entering the scene, had been temporarily removed to replace it with a new one because it was old.Police cars and traffic signs were deployed to control the vehicle before the

new bollards were installed, but failed to stop the truck from rushing into the crowds gathered to celebrate the New Year.

Bollard is a pile-like structure placed on the roadway and sidewalk boundary to prevent cars from entering the sidewalk, which was installed to prevent similar incidents after the 2016 truck attack in Nice, France that killed more than 80 people.

In the meantime, the Washington, D.C. police have tightened their guard around the city ahead of large events such as the funeral of the late former President Jimmy Carter on the 9th and Trump's inauguration on the 20th.
