Explosion came from a car 'trying to enter the US from Canada' All four land crossings between the two countries are now closed The FBI in Buffalo is investigating; it's unclear if there are any injuries

An attempted terror attack on Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls today saw a car explode, causing a massive explosion at a toll checkpoint that killed the vehicle's two occupants.

Fox News cites law enforcement sources who say the intention was a larger attack to kill more.

It remains unclear if anyone aside from those in the car were injured.

The City of Niagara Falls says the explosion came from a car that was trying to enter the US from Canada.

It comes just two days after an intelligence report signaled increased risk of a terror attack in New York City.

Moderate Muslims only want to kill Christians and Jews, extremists want to kill Moderate Mice too.

Three crossings. Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Lewiston, NY, just north of Niagara Falls. There may be a railroad crossing. That is it.

My favorite was the ferry between Marine City, MI and Sombra, ONT. It closed last year due to ice floe damage to their landing site.

Too bad. That was really cool.

Please spell it correctly. It is ‘Canaduh’, particularly ON and QU, aka ‘Laurentia’, who keep voting for Lieberals.

Don’t be hard on Anne Murray, just ‘spread your tiny wings and fly away and take the snow back with you, where it came from on that day’.

CANADUH OUT OF ALBERTA!
ALBERTA OUT OF CANADUH!

Hope they don’t get to NYC for the parade.


Me too. But the thing is there are highly attended Thanksgiving/Christmas parades all over the country none as heavily guarded as the Macy’s parade. Any one could be a target for the Hamas-sympathizer crowd.

Well, my question is: do they get their 72 virgins (or raisins) or whatever?

Or do they get something else for tryin’?

At least this will delay the Dim’s plan to import a million Gazans.

The fine print says if killed by an infidel you become one of 72 virgins.

FOX News said a border guard was injured. They didn’t say if it was an American or a Canadian, male or female or how seriously.

Working in Laconia NH and on Friday drove North to a motel in Newport. Next morning I crossed the border into Canada , I think Stanstead. I may have some of the names wrong.

Got to the border about 6:45 AM. Two lanes and an office building. The sign said Stop and proceed slowly. No Canadian border guards They were inside having coffee.` I proceeded slowly and all hell broke loose. Bells, siren, flashing lights. i stopped. Three of them came out of the building guns drawn. I put my empty hands out of the window.

A woman officer asked what doo you think you’re doing. i said I did what the sign said stop and proceed slowly. It was obvious to me I have caught them leaving the checkpoint unguarded for coffee. It was an early Saturday morning.

They questioned me and let me go.

On Sunday i came back down the Hwy and got off and went through a small Canadian town. There was checkpoint on the south side. Like a rail road crossing arm. A US border patrol was sitting in the kiosk drinking coffee and reading the paper. Where you been? here you headed? Go ahead.

I would think things have changed since 1988.

In Montreal there was a restaurant with a horseshoe shaped bar I sat there and ordered. When I asked for a check someone had already paid it. Quebec City was interesting. This was before I have been to France 4 times.

Met McCain In Laconia at the motel. The first time he was considering a run for president. Got a hand shake.

One witness reported (as transcribed by someone else):

“This eyewitness saw the car drive past him heading for the bridge. He said it seemed to be going 100 miles per hour and was fishtailing from the speed. He described the car hitting a fence and then launching into the air before exploding in a massive fireball.”

If he was heading for the bridge, that would suggest he was in the US and not crossing from Canada.
