Niagara Falls
Appears some sort of vehicle explosion at the border crossing (Rainbow Bridge)….very little known at this time, not that this is stopping endless speculation by the news. All northern border crossings now closed.

I'm thinking it wasn't a bomb,
just a car going really fast into the bollards and went boom from the collision and fuel on board. Reports are that both passengers were killed

Not a good angle to see exactly what happened. Quite an explosion though.
But Joe, once they woke him up from his nappy time and pumped him up with his meds to function, will be all over this. Meanwhile, the southern border is wide fricken open.

I just saw an eyewitness on the news say that he saw
the car going at least 80 mph and then it hit the concrete blocks and flew up into the air at least 10 or 15 feet. Doesn't sound like something they would do if the car was loaded with explosives. PS In before the PARF |

I just saw this on the news. Border crossing plus explosion. Also issues reported at other locations. Something is happening.
Let's hope your FBI does their job!

The wreckage pics look more like an explosion then a car crash....if they are real.

 Looks like the front cradle on the right, maybe the engine tore away in the crash? Or is that the pillar?

This is getting really weird. The car was fully airborne!

Might be a murder/suicide where the driver did the ultimate and killed himself and his mate. Bizarre but that's what the local news is intimating. Drove straight into a concrete barrier at high speed, it will really make a mess.

It was a husband and wife from the NY area. They were heading to a Kiss concert in Toronto that was cancelled.
Maybe a medical issue? Car was a Bentley

Why does this feel more like Hazzard County than Niagara Falls?
Holy crap, that car flew a long way. That was no accident.
