If it was a Tesla (which it appeared to me from the wheel in the wreckage), it didn't "just blow up".  Teslas burn, they don't detonate.  A high speed wreck might catastrophicly rupture the batteries to basically explode.  Also a Tesla would be a weird terrorist car to blow up.

I'd think if it was a Tesla it'd still be on fire.

Just in case anyone has fam or friends flying in or out of Buffalo airport and are reading some stuff here and elsewhere, it is NOT closed. A small international charter  (Signature Airlines) voluntarily paused int’l arrivals/departures, but that’s it.

So more and more looking like just another day in Niagara Falls, US.

The chemicals seep out of the ground and people do some crazy stuff over there.

New meaning to "eco terrorist"

Someone trying to relive 1812 all over again? It started then with the Canucks burning a bar down in Buffalo.  What drinking establishment was this crazed Tesla driver after this time?

 

I vote that we not have a repeat of the war again.  We can just call it even if the Canucks will just send us all of their beer and peameal bacon.  They can throw in a few truckloads of poutine and butter tarts for good measure. Oh, and let’s just say Rush is an American band for good measure.

 

Agree to these terms and the Americans will not retaliate with any northbound Teslas.

Some reports are now calling it a Bentley 

[Huh? What?]

I blame the Newfs.... St. John's Bin Newf is a dead man....

[muppy]

what on earth happened. CNN reports a "fluid" situation.

 

Aka they don't know a lot yet. What kind of BS is this?  VERY sketchy sounding events to me

I saw conflicting reports, one of which says the car was driving towards Canada side, and the other to the US.

Expand  

Was going from USA to Canada.

 

Car spent time at NYS casino prior to explosion; don't think it's a "terror" attack but no one really knows now.

Tesla, Bentley, minivan, 2 seat roadster, small truck....

 

Witnesses are worthless when these things happen.

 

Take notes on all the misinformation that will come out of the story.

 

Easier to wait for someone to know what the hell actually happened.

Peace Bridge open.  Wkbw wondering when it would open, with a live feed in the background, when a flood of trucks and cars start coming across both directions

If they really left the casino like the one report says

 

Maybe it was drinking and driving and they did just wreck it going 100

I’f this picture is from the bridge, then it wasn’t a Tesla. Because that’s clearly a gas or diesel engine

Beer run for Brador?  Sorry, I’m old.

This is starting to seem very plausible.

[WEATHER DOT COM]

If one is purposely going to drive their car as fast as they can into a border station to cause damage to themselves/others/the station/the bridge, would they:

 

A: Drive down the open road, admittedly while swerving between a few cars, directly into the station

 

or

 

B: Drive directly into a tiny "ramp" that hopefully propels you over a fence to hopefully hit your target, the border station

 

I'd guess A, but you never know.

What cars are white with a black roof like that?  Convertible with rag top??

That was the generator it was towing for when it needed to stop for a roadside charge
