Did look like both had clear tape holding them shut which would be odd optically

It’s not really odd for the lid of a water cooler to be taped shut. It’s pretty much standard practice to tape water cooler lids (albeit not usually with clear tape) at construction sites after filling them.

I’ve been reading for an hour and can’t catch up from where I left off at midnight last night.

Anything new from press conference this morning?
Cliffs?

That old bag does not inspire any confidence at all.

Seems to have been promoted based on past failures...

Ahh.... That was what I seen in back that truck earlier on earth cam. Was trying to figure out what those yellow things were and why a fork lift was following the truck.

Man clearly has never been to New Orleans if he thought he could leave a cooler on Bourbon and imagine it wouldn't have been rummaged through for free booze or straight up taken

Imagine being a homeless guy on Bourbon

You spot a cooler on NYE some dumbass got drunk and forgot about

You go to wheel it and it feels heavy, you think frick yeah this is full of booze! I'm gonna scuttle this thing back to my closed-store-enclave where I sleep

Get there and open it up and it's a brick of C4 and nails

Relieve her of duty immediately. Who is 2nd in command?

She has shown she is clueless in how to do, and speak about, her role and the work of the NOPD.

I don’t live in New Orleans but I HATE this woman with a passion. She is everything that is wrong with politicians in our state. A total self serving POS and an embarrassment to the city and the state. Whatever she can do to get the cameras on her. This goes for Teedy as well as the NOPD lady. Both are a disgrace

Teedy eventually had to make it all about herself.

Reading all this stuff from the latest news conference, the city should be thankful this guy wasn't a better terrorist. A LOT more damage could have been done

Maybe that was his plan though? They could have had some sort of fuse that was tripped by opening or moving the coolers? IDK. Police had to have a hell of a hard time finding and searching bourbon for those though, there's all kinds of trash like that around.

He could have simply put them in a brown bag in one of the dumpsters if he wanted to hide them.

ETA: Also a good way to throw the police off for awhile, to have someone else carry your bomb bag/ cooler around on video before it exploded.

Where did he get the explosives from? I mean it's not like we can just buy C4 just so. Surely someone else was involved, right? Am I ignorant to how one obtains this?

Incompetence at a high level. Bragging about a preventative measure after the deaths and injuries have already happened.

Terrorism is a very real threat and has been for at least 25 years. Its legitimately not if but when is it going to happen to your city. Every city leader should be required to study terrorist tactics and put in preventative measures before hand. Blocking off areas where people could drive vehicles to murder people should be the easiest thing to do. Massive failure by the city that this happened on bourbon street.

I mean, you could just use gun powder. You dont need anything special like a C4 charge or Dynamite.

I thought I read he used plastic explosives like C4. I guess that could've been rumor instead of fact, though.
