Obama’s High-Tech Defenses: Bullet-Resistant Suit, Tank-Like Limo, and One Huge Gun
What kind of high-tech precautions were taken on inauguration day? Advanced ballistics fabrics, a truck-limo hybrid with bunker-like doors, and a trailing machine gun vehicle were among the latest defenses issued the President, in the face of at least one potential terrorist threat-alert issued to local and federal police, as reported by the AP. - Fast Company
On top of the armored limo and bulletproof vest, over 12,000 police officers, swat soldiers, and secret service agents patrolled the streets and kept a close eye on crowds for potential threats. Crowd numbered at over a million people, so the numbers were a little off balance.
Fire destroyed stretch limo
INVESTIGATIONS are continuing into a fire at Belford on Sunday which destroyed a stretch limousine hire car. Two teams of firefighters managed to stop the flames spreading to a number of other vehicles, kept in a compound on Station Road, although a similar vehicle sustained some damage in the blaze. - Berwick Advertiser
There are no details on the colour of the car, model or company that drove the vehicle. Everyone is OK though, which is the best news we can hear.
