— Early Thursday morning, a car blew up near a home in Weehawken, New Jersey.
Authorities say the victim appeared to be sitting in the driver's seat when the car exploded in front of 76 Hackensack Plank Road just before 7:00 a.m.
People nearby say they heard a loud explosion and saw a large, dark plume of smoke shoot up from the car. The blast was powerful enough to blow out nearby car windows, and it sent debris flying onto nearby homes.
Authorities say the blast may be tied to some sort of ongoing domestic dispute.
"It's my understanding - initially, preliminarily - that it's a domestic dispute of some type," said state police spokesman Sgt. Kevin Rehmann said. "There's evidence that there may have been explosives involved."
The explosion happened on a winding road, near homes overlooking the Lincoln Tunnel. Authorities stress it was not in any way related to terrorism.
Firefighters put out the flaming car and taped off the street to investigate.

Well, NJ is full of illegal alien muslim scum, go figure. They are reaping the rewards of their nurturing multi-culturalism and diversity tolerance.

Do a lot of people in New Jersey have explosives just lying around?

Weehawken is home to the worst money management firm I ever had to deal with, and to the worst tech-support guy ever to blight the planet (who worked for said MM firm). If Weehawken were to vanish overnight into a giant sinkhole, I would not be at all surprised. I can't be the only person that guy has pissed off.

police spokesman Sgt. Kevin Rehmann said. "There's evidence that there may have been explosives involved." Can't get anything past the Weehawken police.

Very tight weapons laws here in NJ. Only the criminals have access.

I wonder if the gas tank was full or empty. If empty it might be a similar event to the center fuel tank that blew up on flight 800.

"It's my understanding - initially, preliminarily - that it's a domestic dispute of some type," Sounds like a "family" dispute...

No ID on the victim. Proximity to the tunnels.
Anything significant at that address where the car went up?
More questions at this hour...

The explosion happened on a winding road, near homes overlooking the Lincoln Tunnel. By the look of those pictures, this line doesn't describe the area correctly...Possibly to incite fear? THis looks like a business section and not in a very busy one at that.

"There's evidence that there may have been explosives involved."
