Unfortunately what can one assume. Exploding car. Border crossing. Holiday traffic. Not until they had first hand witnesses and video surveillance, speculation was going to happen.
Fueling the never ending conspiracy theories, and as Vic said earlier, now it’s forever a terrorist attack for a large portion of citizensOne shouldn’t be assuming shit. It took only a few hours to develop sufficient factual information to know it wasn’t a terrorist attack. Hell the first reports I heard started with “An explosion ON the bridge”. This is a problem of the instant gratification news cycle actual fucking reporting doesn’t happen.
Which is why terrorist groups lay claim to events they had nothing to do with. Fire at a food production facility? "Yeah, that was us."What is the goal of terrorism? The sole purpose is to instill fear. Sure things are destroyed, people hurt, but those are just the ends to the means of instilling fear.
Every time a talking head attributes anything to terrorism, often when it is not a terrorist activity, the terrorists get a "freebie". They get to instill fear, for free. No planning necessary, or effort required... they just get a freebie
Come-on, terrorists are not that dumb.Which is why terrorist groups lay claim to events they had nothing to do with. Fire at a food production facility? "Yeah, that was us."
No. You just had something to do in this world that needed doing.Lucky is my full name.
Maybe we should give this thing called an "investigation" some "time" to develop "evidence" and find "facts".You often hear of a driver having some kind of medical episode and the passenger will at least try to do something to stop or redirect the vehicle.
Makes me kind of curious here.
I'm not sure we even know which one was driving even if investigators do. Will they ever figure out what really happened? Or will they just have to guess?
Yup that takes a lot of time. I don't think we got Chandler's autopsy report yet.Maybe we should give this thing called an "investigation" some "time" to develop "evidence" and find "facts".
Drunk? Drunk wasn’t the “problem” with the KISS concert I attended in San Antonio in 1975. Weed and acid were. Alcohol was a minor consideration.
Still cannot remember a hella lot from it…two hits of blotter acid and a bag of weed amongst friends left me with memories of many flash pots on stage (huge flames), Gene Simmons’ solo with the obligatory red “blood” pouring from his mouth, and essentially a mosh pit thing right in front of the stage.
While the acid’s effects subsided over the weekend, still have hearing “issues” from it…and don’t regret one second.
Outside the dig at 96Firebird, the vehicle in question was a Bentley, not RR. They race Bentleys, btw.Are we sure this was a Rolls and not a 96Firebird? Dude hasn't been back since posting the thread.
Rich cars are rich cars, brand is irrelevant to me and often cross from one to the other. As far as I know a Rolls is a Bentley is a Lambo.
Thing is, was there enough left of the car or the people do be able to do a full forensic exam? Toxicology takes a certain about of bio material. Though it may have been an exaggeration, word was all that was left of the car was the engine, so how will they be able to examine the other mechanicals? I'm skeptical of airliner crash investigations where they claim to have determined a single component failure where there is very little of the plane to examine.

9/11 gave them a permanent freebie, because we let them.What is the goal of terrorism? The sole purpose is to instill fear. Sure things are destroyed, people hurt, but those are just the ends to the means of instilling fear.
