Tons of security: Dump trucks set to protect Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade after ISIS called it 'an excellent target'
Fans of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade who come to see the soaring SpongeBob and Snoopy balloons may get a far less heartwarming sight this year: giant dump trucks filled with sand.
More than 80 city sanitation trucks will be used at intersections and other strategic spots along the two-and-a-half-mile parade route to create an imposing physical barrier to terror. The trucks weigh about 16 tons when empty and up to twice that with sand.
'You can ram a New York City Sanitation Department sand truck with a lot of things, but you're not going to move it,' said John Miller, the New York Police Department's top counterterrorism official.

Smart move....
Just the same I’ll stay on Staten Island that day and watch it from home.
I’d risk my life for my family, i’d risk my life for my country.
I won’t risk my life for a 50 foot inflatable turkey!!!
You sacrifice turkeys, non Halal, proving you’re infidels. We sacrifice infidels. It’s Allah’s will.
Then the terrorists have won. < /s>
ROFL!!!
If it was a parade I really liked, I would go.
Not big on the Thanksgiving one.
Nice of them to publish the security plans ahead of time. /s
Eventually the entire non-Muslim world will become sick and tired of having to ruin every festive event due to threats from Muslims.
What happens next will make the Holocaust look like a Sunday picnic.
One was in a stadium.
The other was outdoors. Entering, one passed through airport-type security. Inside, we stood on the grass before a stage from which Trump addressed the crowd. It was very smoothly done. I noticed that the crowd was completely surrounded by barriers, including many trucks. The security was tight but so well done that it seemed almost nonexistent.
I left with the feeling that Trump knows what he's doing.
He's going to have the U.S.A. lead and controlled by people who know what they're doing.
...in sharp contrast to the Obama Administration, in which nobody knew what he was doing.
What if we infidels flayed the hides off a few dozen ISIS thugs, then flew them in the parade?
Every hatchet-faced shovel-bearded Middle Easterner should now feel the hair rising on the back of his dirty neck.
Well I’m not about to knuckle under to terrorism, so I pledge to NEVER miss Wet Tee Shirt Tuesday at Binkys!
ROFL!!
TRUE PATRIOT!!!!
If it was a wet T shirt contest I would stand on top of one of the dumb trucks for a better view.
Funny that they hate women and want to keep them hidden away, but will blow themselves up to get to their 72 virgins in heaven. I would love someday to have an inquiry into what kind of heaven they are aiming for. One might ask, do the 72 virgins remain virgin for all eternity? Or do you get your 72 virgins and then you are done for all eternity. I could imagine the whole thing being more like hell on earth than a heavenly paradise. But I guess if you submit to the will of Allah, you don’t ask such questions.
It’s right there in the Koran: “Do not question the Koran!”
Nice of them to publish the security plans ahead of time. /s”
...my thoughts exactly! This kind of thing wouldve been best revealed on the morning of the parade.
OMG! sounds more like Hell to me, can you imagine being locked up with 72 de-flowered virgins! “He likes me better ... Does not, he likes ME better ... Both of you are stupid, he likes ... “ and so on for all eternity!
