The FBI Has Released Their Conclusion Regarding the Niagara Falls Car Explosion
Townhall ^ | 11/23/2023 | Matt Vespa

The car explosion at Niagara Falls yesterday has conclusively been ruled not an act of terrorism by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Spencer wrote how a car explosion at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing triggered reports of a possible terror attack. There were also rumors that the vehicle was packed with explosives. New camera footage cast doubt on the terrorism angle, with the FBI describing the situation as “fluid” initially.

When the terrorism narrative began to fray, the new theory was that this was a stolen vehicle, where the two occupants, both killed in the crash, were trying to speed past the checkpoint into Canada, which explains the erratic driving. The car is shown striking something, possibly a barrier, making it go airborne before catching fire and exploding.

The FBI said that no explosives were ever in the vehicle and that no “terrorism nexus” could be identified.

The news was shocking, especially as millions are still traveling for Thanksgiving. In the wake of the Israel-Hamas war and the increased terror threats that have arisen from that conflict, it wouldn’t have shocked me if this was an act of terrorism. Blessedly, it wasn’t, but it wasn’t a far-fetched theory. We’ve already had two Palestinians either commit acts of domestic terrorism or plan to carry out one. One Indianapolis woman crashed into what she thought was a Jewish school for her people. In Houston, Texas, a radical Palestinian was able to acquire firearms illegally and planned to attack the local Jewish community.

Ohhh. That's a twist. Time to shut down the story.

Amazing how quickly the American Stasi can conduct an investigation when there is a narrative to protect.

If you steal a car, the LAST place you would go is a heavily trafficked border crossing.

Probably true. But, given how corrupt the FBI has become, no sane person can completely believe anything it concludes.

Sure thing. In less than 48 hours. If I could roll my eyes hard enough, they’d get stuck.

When a car explodes on the US/Canada border, where do they bury the survivors?

Not an act of terrorism. Well, okay. But that sure was a lightning quick investigation. The FBI was evidently able to identify the suspects, do a background check on them, talk to their acquaintances, etc. - all in just a day.

This kinda makes Lt. Columbo look like an incompetent boob. It always took him week or more to solve a crime.

There is a new story. It was some rich dude who was upset that KISS cancelled a concert they went to a casino an for whatever reason he crashed his $300k Bentley killing himself an his wife. This happens every day with those crazy Canadians right? This story has more holes than my Swiss grandpas Swiss cheese!

Such a Surprise!

Let’s see. So far we have had the story that it was an older couple (well-known in the community) that were going to a KISS concert (that was canceled); someone suffering a medical emergency (although how that could be determine so quickly, I’m not sure); and now it was persons in a stolen car trying to escape to Canada.

I guess if we will not believe any of those stories, they can provide another one tomorrow. After that the story will disappear.

However, one thing they ARE sure of is that it was not a terrorist incident.

I would not rule out that the couple were killed when the electronic throttle was hacked/malfunctioned and they were unable to stop the vehicle.

I remember a Mercedes doing that in Hollywood years ago and then a bunch of Toyotas had electronic throttle problems and people died. Just like this.

I’m thinking a case of sudden death... person had an episode and floored it after collapsing.

I think there is a lot of that going around for some reason. I think that is how Obama’s cook died also.
