People ramming their vehicles into buildings is a common thing? I'm sorry I just don't get it. Some of you people make it sound like this happens all the time.
#8 It looked like it was on a big steel plate on the ground. Most likely firmly attached, tho it did look like it jumped a bit. The bar itself must be solid steel or something along those lines. Can you imagine the weight of that thing.
#6 You don't think they'd pick other ways to do their madness? It's not like this thing would be invisible. Worst case scenario the crazy person might actually *think* before they do something - which is an even worse scenario than them ramming into this barrier.

I wonder how many you need to cover the whole building.

#9 i wasn't gonna comment on this video first, but yea, this device is an anti terror device. Sad, and scary, and no, its not something i would call normal, as the only scenario i can think of with this device, is to stop suicide bombers, and thats it. Shitty stuff...

why not just plant a pfew trees?. they are pretty effective against traffic. if there is room for a huge barrier like this, then there is also room for a tree.

#15 ... yes, plant trees... and in 30-40 short years your building will be safe.

I thought it was apparent that this device is to be used to protect high-value buildings (like embassies) from Islamic suicide bombers who ram trucks and cars loaded with explosives into them. Since that is one of their favorite methods of killing people , this should help stop them.

#18 The barrier uses a 12-inch-wide solid steel tube that stands about three feet off the ground and runs 17 feet from end to end. It’s embedded into a foundation that’s just 18 inches deep, compared to the several feet required by some other barriers. This makes it more suitable for use in cities with underground utilities and other buried obstacles.
That only leaves an opening of about 24" beneath the tube...so what sport car fits under that?
