I'll be driving to Buffalo tomorrow afternoon, hopefully an isolated incident but looks to be terror related.

Doesn't look terror related at all. The "Explosion" looks like fuel burn off from a high speed vehicle impact.

If I had to bet I'd say something else entirely. No way this was explosives.

Lol the car was on the American side. If it was speeding away from secondary checkpoint, more likely they had illegal substance in car than a terrorist attack.

I was just going to post this…

Canuckistan Attacks the USA!

We use geese, maple syrup and metric. Explosive is stone age.

The article at CNN says they were told the vehicle accelerated to a high speed, went airborne, then landed in a security checkpoint area.

I probably should have read it. All I saw was people throwing around explosives and terrorist attack but the video I saw of the crash just showed what looked like a car disintegrating on impact and a quick flame out of fuel. Sounds like that’s what it was as more comes out. Looks like they launched off an abutment and launched into the crossing.

I saw mentioned somewhere that the car was a $300K Bentley that a guy and his wife were driving to the KISS concert in Toronto that was canceled because one of the band members has the flu. It sounds like it was possibly a medical emergency or a vehicle malfunction. Word is that the husband was in his mid-50's and the couple is well known in the area. Dying on the way to a canceled KISS concert... what a way to go.

Maybe Gene Simmons can take advantage of the situation and sell them a pair of KISS coffins! 👍

Suppose it was either a malfunction or more likely a bizarre suicide.

Could be drunk or medical emergency. They were supposed to attend KISS concert in Toronto, it got cancelled so they went to the casino for an hour.

At 100mph? And drunk? Sounds like suicide to me. The car sailed through the air like a pass from Patrick Mahomes...

I like how "they" found an Iranian Passport next to the car...they don't even try to make it believable. Just spew shit, get $millions.
I watch a lot of TV news (cause I don't want to be in the shadow) but I'm fully aware it's designed for consumption by dummies. I FF through a lot of shit.

But medical emergency would have had to happen very quickly. They went through initial screening and flagged to go to secondary screening. Unlikely he experienced a heart attack and stomped on the accelerator in a few minutes. Wonder what flag got raised for them to panic?

The guy driving the Bentley pulled a full Dukes of Hazard at high speed. It was like the general lee with a corkscrew at 100mph. Obviously a fireball could occur if you hit a fixed object at high speed.

Best ad for Bentley ever. "You knew that our cars were luxurious. You didn't know they could outpace the Princess Di death car and out-jump the General Lee!" I bet the prices on craigslist for used Bentleys just went up.

I don't think this is confirmed as the case... From everything I have seen they came off Main Street and right into the checkpoint. It looks like they just kept on going straight.
