~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A suspected 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 an the FBI Terrorism Task Force is investigating but officials are yet to confirm the motive.

Two men who had been traveling in the vehicle both died in the explosion. Their identities remain unknown and there were no other serious injuries.

Witnesses and law enforcement officials say the vehicle hurtled down the wrong lane from Canada towards the US at 100mph then went airborne before exploding in front of a second checkpoint.

The Rainbow Bridge is the busiest land crossing between the US and Canada and was particularly busy on Wednesday with many traveling between the two countries for Thanksgiving.

Buffalo Airport is now closed as a result of the incident.

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

Some NYPD officers have been redistributed to assist in Niagara, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said today.

The force had already been placed on heightened alert for the holiday and amid rising tensions globally surrounding the Israel Hamas war.

After the explosion, motorists who'd driven into America were told to leave their vehicles and walk back into Canada while the cars were checked for bombs.

MSNBC cites unnamed law enforcement officials who say no other devices have yet been found.

Witnesses who were in the US Customs and Immigration building next to the bridge were turned away, ordered to walk back over the bridge and leave their vehicles on the US side to be checked.

A Trudeau Biden false flag op to distract everyone.

FOX is reporting that the car drove from America toward Canada at an estimated 80mph

That's what the surveillance video shows.

Streetview showing the crash location. Rotate to the left to see the parking garage in the background of the surveillance video.

They probably ordered the parts from teamu or wish. Nothing is ever as big as it looks in the photos from those places.

“feds had a chit chat with the white house and were told to cover this up”

Yup.

In these cases the truth can be found by what happened in real time—before anyone has a chance to consult with higher ups.

In real time the airport in Buffalo was quickly closed—so that tells you what the lower level/mid level managers had as an immediate response before consulting with political appointees at the top.

Few cars explode like that. Despite the updates, I bet there is more to this story.

Remember the journalist in California. His car went 90 mph and exploded.

Our government has the ability to control your car remotely. They can control your pace maker and defibrillator too.
