Not a Tesla, as I said. I'll attach a photo from the Boston Globe story if anyone is interested in pursuing Tesla "jokes" like the one an other poster made. And yes, a man was killed in this crash and several injured. Not everything on the internet is a joke.
Tragic news. I’m assuming the property owner (WS Development) has control and restrictions on adding barriers in front of leased store fronts.
Don't some of the stores have huge potted trees directly behind the glass? That would offer some form of protection as well perhaps?
Do you mean inside a store? I’ve never been to this area, so I’m not sure. But the developer could surely (and will most likely) add some type of barrier outside the store fronts that blend with the ambiance and mitigate this type of tragedy.
It is awful. The investigation is still going on, but unfortunately it was likely deliberate based on the video footage. Some people seem to think it is a disgruntled former employee, but that might just be the rumor mill.
Former employee. I know the parking very well, the only way to end up where he ended up was to start at a stop sign about 700 feet from the store, floor it and turn left.
Our Apple Store already has the security poles.
I feel sorry for you that you find this funny seeing as you said “lol”

A guy I played hockey with that installs them in MA. A few years he was telling us there was discussions and the property owner wanted to install them but because of the town wanted to keep a certain appearance.
I believe Apple store in Lynnfield MA also doesn't have them. The traffic flow there is much different/safer.

In NZ we call them Ram Raids.....they happen a fair bit. Kids driving a stolen vehicle and their escape car is also stolen.
We'll make sure to laugh derisively when you die, too.Someone upset with the Genius bar "repair" estimate?
I can’t believe they’d build a store without concrete posts in the event of a terrorist attack like this. It’s day one stuff.
