Explosion at the Rainbow Bridge

[Wacka]

At airport, traffic backed up to Genesee St. Having dogs searching each car.  See travelers walking down the approach to the terminal to get to their flights

Missile huh? And it was white too! Here is the car going airborne before the crash

 

 

 

Motive of the driver is that he's a stupid &#%$ing driver doing 100 on Niagara, hitting an embankment, and going airborne.

 

"Dumb&#%$" is not a motive, it's a description.

It's a car-shaped hypersonic missile.  Specifically designed for false-flag "terrorist" attacks.  Look for more of these as the holidays progress.

That's what I thought when I heard it was the rainbow bridge/

Usually I wouldn't make fun of death and destruction but since only the idiots died...

 

I am perfectly comfortable making fun of 1) conspiracy theorists, and 2) dumb, panicky idiots going bug&#%$ over a car accident.  

 

If this happens anywhere other than a border crossing, it's barely a story.

Those darn muzzies! They think of the darndest things don't they?

[Crap Throwing Clavin]

By the way...how do I know?

 

Military history.  Multiple DVDs of bombing raid and bomb damage footage from WWII.  And research for an article I was writing about the loss of the Royal Navy battlecruisers at Jutland.

 

I know more than I really should about explosions vs deflagrations, and the damage they cause.

 

 

("Was writing" because I got to the point where I had to get an invitation to the Royal Navy archives, which wasn't happening soon.)

No shit?  I was pretty sure of that within five minutes of pictures.  Again: one of those pictures above is taken through a pane of glass that would be completely obliterated if this were any sort of halfway competent bomb.  Even the Tsarnaev's pressure-cooker bomb would have caused more damage.

 

But all that really means is that they're going to blame MAGA Republicans.  WERE it a terrorist attack, they'd call it a "Palestinian" terrorist attack.  Since it's not, they'll call it a right-wing extremist terrorist attack.

 

My sister texted me an image at 1:30.

My reply was "looks like some drunk idiot slammed into the toll booth".

Until I hear otherwise, that's my speculation.

Well, speeding in Niagara Falls.

Airport open Only airline not flying is Signature Air, a charter airline  that flies from US to Canada. I just heard a plane taking off a few minutes ago.

Debris from the car.  In brief: explosive shockwaves propagate outwards and apply a shearing force.  Collisions propagate inward with a crushing force.  An explosion, you'd see body panels scattered widely with ragged, shorn edges edges bent outward.  A car accident, you'd see less scattering, and panels crumpled.

 

Every message board has a few people who think they know everything. Ours actual has one who may.

Wait, it was a Bentley? Who uses a Bentley for a car bomb. I call crap. A Dodge manes more sense. Subaru only if the car stayed in the left lane doing just a bit faster than the car in the right lane. That there is the real terrorist!

Anyone who has spent time driving in Oregon/Washington knows this to be true (assuming that the car in the right lane is going slow to begin with).

If the report that they came from the Seneca Niagara Casino is accurate, you are probably correct.

 

They were probably in a hurry to get to the Canadian Ballet.

Heck, that's the Baltimore/DC way as well. Anytime I'm on any of the _95 beltways I seem to pass people more moving to the right than to the left.... privileged....

I don't know everything.  

 

But I know what I know, which is a hell of a lot of weird-ass shit.

Hocul said the driver was a local person.

Funny...not so in DC.  Those are either CRVs or RAV4's.

Two things I'm just waiting for:

 

1) Trump to tweet something stupid about this.

 

2) Progressives to tweet something even stupider about Trump's tweet inciting violence or some bullshit.  I'm really looking forward to this one.
