Vehicle Explosion at Rainbow Bridge US/Canada Border Crossing

[oze]

Smelled like urine? Are you sure you weren't in New Orleans?

I was thinking Wrigleyville.

I've been lost before, but pretty sure not that lost. I've never been to New Orleans, actually.

But why cancel flights?

Apparently, only international flights were cancelled.

No matter what action is taken in situations like this, there are always second guessers. Everyone is an expert from 1000 miles away.
"You overreacted." "You did not do enough." "You waited too long." "It's nothing." "It's a conspiracy."

So where did the whole "he approached and was asked to move to another lane so he could face further scrutiny" story come from?

There's always a ton of bad info and rumor at the beginning of something like this. Mass shootings are the same, someone will see someone running away and decide they must be the shooter when it's actually just someone getting the eff out of dodge, and then you'll end up with wildly divergent descriptions, locations, etc. We'll often get a series of different, and conflicting, explanations of motives, vehicle descriptions, shooter descriptions, casualty counts, etc. It can take the investigators hours or days to sort through all that bad info to get to the real info, zero chance the media is right out of the gate. That's why I say wait a week before you pay attention to anything said in the public domain.

There's no way to get to that sort of speed from the gate to the secondary inspection point. I've been 'secondarily inspected' there, probably because I bust out laughing when asked if I had $10k or more in cash on me. Do I *look* like the sort of person who has $10k in walking around money???

I don't remember if they had the hydraulic doo-dads that lift up and stop you if you try to run it.

After seeing that video and re-playing it several times, it looks more like a really bad accident. When that car launched, whatever it hit, probably aerosolized the entire contents of the fuel tank and created a fuel/air explosion, a miniature Moab, so to speak.

Oh, well if they were KISS fans, that totally explains canceling flights and closing the airport.

Well you do know they have their own army...

Although to the best of my knowledge they've never been put on a watch list like ICP's juggalos.

Ok I fact checked this myself....... well kind of.

Official Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris:
" Bridges are big and beautiful. Bridges continually connect two areas of land over a river. We will continue to build more beautiful bridges as we continue to use the beautiful bridges we already have."

Though the use of beautiful also makes it sound like something Trump would say.

Dukes of Hazard jump right there…

A husband and his wife on their way to. . . . a KISS concert tonight in Toronto.

On a side note the concert was cancelled this afternoon due to Paul not feeling well.

So, not a terrorist attack.

Bentley crashed into Niagara border crossing: CNN - National Zero

Law enforcement officials tell CNN the vehicle that hit the Niagara border crossing was a $300,000 Bentley driven by a 58 year-old American on his way to a KISS concert and not a terrorist.

nationalzero.com

The guy with the $300K Bentley lives in a very upscale neighborhood... DUH!! I see mostly F-150s and Sport Utes here in my "not quite very upscale neighborhood." Although the guy down the street has a new GMC 4X4 with the fancy tailgate.

CNN is reporting that the driver of the vehicle that Fox claimed was full of explosives was a 56-year-old man who lived in a very upscale area that had intended to go to the kiss concert.. he was driving a $300k Bentley with his wife. CNN says it loos like a terrible accident

It is too bad, but I don’t know whether to believe anything that anyone says any more.

You may say that, but I'm not sure I believe you.

If you have the means to own a Bentley... and you have tickets to see KISS in Toronto...

Wouldn't you take your wife there in a limo?

Wouldn't you not be driving up to an international border at a rate of speed that gets your (guessing here) 3,500-4,000 pound car about 13 feet in the air (Penske box truck for reference) around 100 feet from where you hit the ramp (which means it went a long way before impact)???

I don't think I'm but something is just not right here.

He spent $300k on a British car and was on his way to see a band whose lead singer lost his voice about a decade ago.
Reason might not be his forte.

Massive whiff by Fox declaring it to be a car bomb terrorist attack.

Thought that very first video was kinda weak for a "car bomb", but I didn't have Bentley explosion on my bingo card.

Or....... a medical emergency caused by the clot shot.
Of course we will never know.

Teens take limos to prom.

You don't buy a Bentley to not be seen driving a Bentley.

That's some Dale Gribble level digging for a conspiracy, any conspiracy, to keep the thread fun.

Thank you. Is it still a conspiracy once it's found true?

Well, he might have taken the "Flying" part literally...

Weird how car accidents used to be counted as covid deaths, and now they are counted as vax deaths.

Bentley. Above all the rest.
