Politics & News LC thread - Vivek and John Candy were right

Holy crap. The Canadians are coming.

Seriously, this is effed up. Saw a TV guy saying it’s odd that it was a small explosion in an unpopulated space.

All speculation. Could it have been a different target and when met resistance they just pushed the button.

Are they 100 that it is terrorism?

Hoping this can stay in the LC thread.

lol, a link would help:

Thanks. Had just been getting info from TV.

CNN reporting the car was on the US side and accelerated into the immigration booth area.

Now saying it hit a curb, jumped a barrier and exploded on impact- so a chance it was not a bomb?

I’m no expert, but seems odd for a car to just blow up like that.

Only minor injuries to one person besides the people in the car, thank goodness. Maybe a bomb that exploded at the wrong time?

my understanding is that car explosions are more of a movie/tv thing than real life.

If hypothetically not a bomb would an electric or gas powered car be more able to straight up explode in a wreck?

All the more recent headlines saying probably not terrorism.

“A U.S. law enforcement official familiar with the incident said the driver, who was thought to be American, was believed to be a casino player who frequently crossed the border and had no criminal history.“

Guess he was running bad.

I would imagine the difference between a car’s gas tank somehow exploding and a car bomb consisting of a couple hundred pounds of explosive should be pretty obvious.

There is CCTV footage of the car hitting something and going airborne.

Just crossed that bridge a few days ago.

Cars don’t usually explode, you’re right. Everything about cars are designed not to explode. They absolutely can catch on fire and burn to a crisp, but they usually don’t explode.

Yeah, okay I guess when the car is going 100+ cars can explode. Good lord, they went full Dukes of Hazard.

“The car that exploded this week at a border bridge in Niagara Falls, N.Y., was a 2022 Bentley Flying Spur, the authorities said on Friday, an ultraluxury model capable of reaching a speed of 60 miles per hour in four seconds

The base model Flying Spur was powered by an eight-cylinder engine generating 542 horsepower and weighed 5,137 pounds, according to [specifications] from Edmunds, which provides data about automobiles for consumers. Used models cost more than $200,000”
