Explosion on the Rainbow Bridge

[flogger]

Sounds like someone blew themselves up at the border checkpoint. News to follow!

Nothing to see.

The NY Governor said it is not terrorism.

But must admit for just some random accident the car estimated to be going 100 and flying through the air (video exists) is pretty impressive. I thought flying car and explosion was just a movie thing…

Curious about the NY gov intentions.

All news reports indicated "the car was packed with explosives" which would jive with the large debris field from the vehicle.

Of course, we'll learn more (of what they want us to know) as the story develops.


ETA: Got a chance to see the video of the wreck. The debris field is most likely due to the speed at which the wreck occurred, but DAMN, they were flying (at one point, very literally!).

I'd say it's still too early to know exactly what the cause of this was, but I'm definitely backing away from "probably terrorism" until I learn more.

Goin to KISS concert in 300K Bentley at 100 MPH. Crash and burn.

That's some Evil Knievel air.

First I've heard of this. More details?

So far silence on msm outlets.

That's some Evil Knievel air.

That was one of my first thoughts as well, along with "That'd make them Duke boys proud".

Investigators believe the man who died had plans to attend a KISS concert in Canada, but when it was canceled he went to a casino in the US instead. The crash occurred sometime after the couple left the casino, the sources said.

My guess is drunk.

I don't know what the "ramp" was that got them air born, BUT they did get some serious airtime. WOW!

My first thought was that someone had a serious health issue, maybe heart attack, and lost self control. Will we ever find out, hard telling.
