Moment car explodes on Rainbow Bridge next to US immigration
The explosion on Rainbow Bridge was reported shortly after 11.20am on Wednesday morning. Two men who were inside the car died, but it's unclear if anyone else was injured.www.dailymail.co.uk
Whereas my video says US side towards Canada....The Daily mail - as usual - is ahead of everyone else.
Bingo..Usual caveat: first reports are usually speculative bullshit. Second reports are usually intentional or manipulated bullshit. Gonna take some time to get something straight.
Is there more than one vehicle involved?Whereas my video says US side towards Canada....
Bingo..
All reports say one vehicle, majority of articles are saying originally came from Canada. My explanation for the witness would be as I suggested. It’s purely speculation based on the report that CNN said customs officials directed the vehicle to secondary. When you get to the border coming from Canada, secondary parking is US side of the border. The twitter reporter added an update linked below.Is there more than one vehicle involved?
One doesn't usually drive this fast at the border crossingCNN is reporting that customs officials had redirected the vehicle for a secondary screening just prior to the explosion. Secondary screening parking would be through the gate and you pull off to the side and park. If that is correct, they may have drove off and turned around to ram the crossing.

BREAKING: A senior Canadian military official has spoken with me directly. They say "It's gonna get worse," after describing the explosion as a terrorist attack via a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device VBIED. EXCLUSIVE REPORT:
I went to check that Twitter page. I wished I hadn’t.Anyone in a position to actually know anything this early isn’t going to be talking to Keean Bexte.
It’s way too early to have much confidence in anything. Another possibility is ever something as simple as a joyride/stolen that lost control at high speed and crashes. The road on the US side leading to the border crossing is a long, straight boulevard- east to get a lot of speed there. The car was described as hitting something and going airborne. From the limited videos of the explosion it’s hard to tell, but I wouldn’t say it’s at least an obvious high-order detonation.
Could be a few different things. Lots of quick preliminary forensic work will get 80% there, but that doesn’t mean we’ll hear quickly.
The FBI is working to identify the bodies of the dead occupant or occupants in the car and see if there's any evidence of explosives, both sources said.Law enforcement officials have conducted a video canvass of the surrounding area in the hours since the incident occurred and found the car appears to have been at a nearby New York casino before the incident. This is one reason officials are urging caution in labeling the explosion as an attempted terrorist attack, the law enforcement source said.
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said there was “no indication of a terrorist attack” in the vehicle crash and explosion that left two people dead at a checkpoint on the American side of a U.S.-Canada bridge on Wednesday.
“Based on what we know at this moment,” she said, “there is no sign of terrorist activity in this crash.”
The vehicle was speeding from Niagara Falls, New York, toward the Rainbow Bridge. It connects the two countries across the Niagara River. The incident prompted the closing of the border crossing and three others in the area.
"Based on what we know at this moment"According to a briefing given by the Governor of New York, there is no indication that this is terrorist related.
