Delta Barrier Stops Third Intruder at Naval Air Station - Corpus Christi in 15 Months
Delta Scientific announced that on Thursday, May 21, just after 6 a.m., a terrorist tried to speed past a Delta Scientific MP5000 portable barrier onto the Naval Air Station - Corpus Christi. The intruder shot at the gate's base security sailor but struck her bullet-resistant vest. According to the Associated Press, the sailor, who survived, then rolled over and hit the switch that raised the barrier, preventing the terrorist from gaining access to the base.
"Our Delta portable barrier has protected the men and women serving the Naval Air Station - Corpus Christi from the potential dangers of unauthorized vehicle intrusion three times in the past 15 months," stresses Greg Hamm, Delta vice president of sales and marketing. "On February 14, 2019, our portable barrier stopped a trespasser who had driven across the base to escape but crashed into the Delta unit and erupted into flames. Later last year, on October 7, 2019, the portable barrier stopped a stolen pick-up truck at the entrance gate. Last Friday's attack, involving a terrorist, was only six months later."
