In this movie, the crew are making an escape from the Library of Congress when the guards start raising the security barricade. Abigail drives over it as it is rising and the only damage to the SUV is the rear bumper. Is this possible? Does it really take that much time to raise those barricades? In the movie it appears to be cylinders coming out of the ground. I would love to know if this is Hollywood fantasy or real life possibility.
