Foxx... they are now saying that this was a terrorist attack, the Gov is heading up there. Can you please move this to another area of the board, it was just first thought of as a random vehicle explosion... but now it's much more.

Grain of salt here but.....

I guess we know why they issued that terror alert for NYS yesterday.

I guess I missed that. Would you happen to have a link?

I think there is still some pretty crappy speculation going on, Fox is reporting it was going from the US to Canada, but initial that I'm seeing was the opposite which makes more sense id it blew up at the US checkpoint. 

I'm also willing to bet blowing up on the bridge wasn't the original intent, more likely a much bigger target once across and i hate to speculate now what that target was. But the fact they have shut down the other 3 bridges now makes me think they suspect more coming

Unless it got by the Canadian checkpoint.

I see it was Catherine Herridge that reported it. She said it is in relation to the Israel Hamas war going on...

No way was the toll booth the intended final destination for this vehicle.

Yeah, Hochul had a press conference yesterday to announce heightened awareness because of chatter and Adams was on this morning with more of the same for NYC. Guess neither suspected it coming from Canada to WNY.

I wonder if it was heading to NYC for the parade tomorrow morning? 

[Cinga]

It's not really that big but apparently this is the blast

That is an interesting thought for sure. Apparently they are looking for a 2nd vehicle...
