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 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.
if you are good at investigating a crime scene, you are good at cleaning up a crime scene.
If innocent - give us the names
Translation: It was a bombing from terrorists.
Yes, it is strange.
I've been to Niagara Falls many times - my only guess: There's a huge Seneca Indian Casino on Niagara Street (the street they were on). They probably stole the Bentley from there.
Also, Niagara Street is a long, straight, wide street, with not a lot of traffic in off-season. It ends at the bridge to Canada. If they wanted to get a car up to 100mph in Niagara Falls, that's the street to pick.
Ha ha! Old riddle; new twist w/transporation. Yet here it does
make sense. Most in charge would bury survivors asap.

TAG disappeared
Actually, in all fairness, Lt. Columbo only took about 43 minutes (accounting for commercials and the conclusion three minutes before the top of the hour) to solve his cases.
But, then again, Columbo had a script, the DOJ has a narrative . . .

Well, whatever it was, one thing we know for sure....
Trump’s fault.
Let me guess - center fuel tank?
I'm not related to "Jimmy Hoffa", so I don't have a clue.
It’s on purpose. Barring another historic conflict, this path of the state controlling the masses and imprisoning political opponents after stealing elections has been repeated every time Socialists/Communists come to power.
We’re viewed by it as Americans in real time but hey, what time does footballing start today?
So, what were the names of the two innocents in the flaming car?
No. That does not make any sense at all unless they were completely lost, and I don’t see a reason to be driving that fast unless they were being chased.
It looks like the car went sideways and hit a concrete barrier, so I guess the gas tank could have been ripped apart. If it was a hybrid car with gas & battery, maybe that could explain the intensity of the fire?
The speed of their investigation leaves me unconvinced.
