I know this is tied to a recent event, but I have a legitimate question that I assume this board can answer.
For those who don´t know, there was a terrorist attack in nice in which a truck was used to run over people for almost 2 kilometers. it was a Renault Midlum cargo truck for the record, and It doesn´t seem like it was modified in the slighlest for the attack
My question is, what choices regarding would have made the attack more effective? what kind of truck would have performed better? any kind of (realistic) modifications that would have changed this? I´m curious because its shocking how much damage can a random cargo truck do

I haev a questoin.

What were these people doing on the road anyway? I mean, if anyone has learned anything over the course of their lives is that the roads are for cars and you should not be there unless you are in a car.

Not saying they deserved to get run over, but why'd they have to be on the road?

Just realistic modifications a group of decently skilled people could make without bringing much attention. If you want some limitations for the sake of realism, lets say you have 2 months from start to finish and 120k-150k as budget, price of the truck included. Just for the record, the truck was surrounded by the police and the driver killed by gunfire.
As I said in the OP, I´m curious as what could they pull off with just a truck if they had prepared it better. I´m surprises me that they managed to kill 84 people with a simple truck without prior preparation
>a fender/bumper of some kind to protect the engine from impacts
would a cow pusher or a Snowplow be overkill?
>>15444885
yeah, I know how it looks like by just reading the OP. submit a tip to the FBI if it makes you feel better

Right. But since car and truck bombs are a thing (as well as old people driving large sedans), I'm surprised that the street wasn't physically blocked to vehicular traffic.
>>
>>15445091
there was a barrier apparently
>30 minutes before the incident, a large white cargo truck was seen approaching the Promenade des Anglais. "He was speeding up, braking, speeding up again and braking again. We thought it was weird," said Laicia Baroi, an eyewitness.[15] The truck then doubled back towards the airport and breached the vehicle barriers opposite the Lenval children's hospital.[15] The truck was moving slowly and a motorcyclist pulled up alongside and tried to open the truck door.[15] The truck ran over the motorcyclist after he fell off.[15] Watching this, two nearby police officers opened fire on the truck.[15] At this point the driver sped up towards the Promenade.

>>15445091
I think their police didn't put up barricades or at least block off streets with their vehicles with manned checkpoints like they do for big events in big cities in the US (NYC comes to mind).

I saw what happened and the truck wobbled too much. The inside must have been misplaced and did not take the twists and turns. Bad packaging?

This only represents a small portion of truck owners.
I own a registered truck myself and keep it away from kids and never store it fully fueled.
Banning High capacity trucks won't solve the underlying issue.
