NY Shuts border crossings from Ontario after vehicle explosion
Developing story, not sure what to make of it at all. Accident? Potentially something sinister?
Edit: First reported that The vehicle was travelling from canada into the USA, but that seems disputed and uncertain.
This article makes it seem like it all happened on the US side:
Quote:
Traveling down Niagara Street, the car sped onto the bridge plaza, went through a fence separating the inbound lanes from the outbound lanes, and toward the inspection lanes where it exploded, according to law enforcement sources at the scene.
...
Ivan Vitalii, a visitor to the Falls from Ukraine, said he and a friend were at the 7-Eleven convenience store in the 400 block of Niagara Street when they observed a car exit the parking lot and travel toward the bridge. Vitalii said he and his friend moved down to the bridge area where they observed what appeared to be the same car on fire near the entrance to the bridge.
According an interview on CNN it sounds like the vehicle was in the US and headed toward Canada. Quite a different assumption now that is coming to light.
Of course Fox news still covering it as a terrorist attack on the US so they can push the border security narrative.
For clarity, ICEVs are about 100x more likely to catch fire, it's just that EVs are much harder to put out if they catch fire.
I'm sure the Tesla jokes are funny to those who are afraid that the world might change around them, like most of these things even the initial conceit is routed in a lie.
