    Wonder if all the local hotels are cooperating with residents who need to extend an extra day.

    We don’t know if this guy acted alone or had accomplices right?

    We will go thru several days of misinformation- that is what usually happens in these situations. Eventually we will know the truth

    Pickup truck battering ram was electric. They weigh 35% more than a combust.
    7000 lbs of terror with an ISIS flag found inside.
    I would get the heck out of dodge.

    Ford F-150 Lightning. Heavy weight + unreal acceleration = battering ram from hell, unfortunately.
    Postponing the Sugar Bowl is the right call as the authorities have found a few other IEDs scattered around the area.

    Terrorist asshole was a US citizen from Texas.

    Should just cancel the game. How many people flew in for the game and can't just get the airlines to change the date? They either have to ditch the game and fly back tomorrow or buy a return ticket for Friday. Hotels also won't just extend the reservation causing many to book hotels outside of New Orleans.

    Police cars were placed where the barriers were not yet in place. The perp was able to drive around onto the sidewalk to get onto Bourbon.

    Cancel the game? That's crazy, because some fans can't attend doesn't mean a national qf game can't be played. Rest assured everyone affiliated with both programs wants to play as soon as things are safe.

    I very much doubt many people who flew into Louisiana for a game where decent seats are $1k a piece aren't staying through a holiday week. Probably 95% were planning to go party tonight and go home over the weekend.

    Also nobody will care as the real money is the TV time, plus there won't be refunds.
