"From everything I have seen they came off Main Street and right into the checkpoint. It looks like they just kept on going straight."

Yeah, what I saw was the car hit an embankment and went airborne. That embankment could be right there were the 344 (or whatever) is in that image.

DUI, medical, mechanical could all be in play.

Their base will continue to feel scared. Mission accomplished! Accuracy of information doesn’t matter.

I wouldn’t be shocked if a huge chunk of their base just moves to “Biden is covering up the truth to protect the terrorists”
You're way behind. This was posted very early this morning:

FBI's Response to Canada Border Explosion Sparks Conspiracy Theories

Claims are swirling of a cover-up after federal investigators determined Wednesday's explosion near Niagara Falls was not terror-related.

Is that the way it is where you are? That is way beyond crazy. I have NOT seen that level of crazy except in the movies or TV.


When I was younger (no I didn't get smarter), I have done 100mph in a Camry, I can see the hood flexing... Slowed down after I got scared and five minutes later I drove by a speed trap :eek:

Lucky is my full name.

11:30-ish on a weekday on the main street of a tourist town near a major international crossing and he didn't hit any other vehicles?

Look at the border crossing booths. Most were empty at that moment. But imagine the chaos if it was busier.

I mean as they were KISS fans there's a very good chance that they were drunk and there was a medical emergency!

/S

/Kinda
Drunk? Drunk wasn’t the “problem” with the KISS concert I attended in San Antonio in 1975. Weed and acid were. Alcohol was a minor consideration. ;)

Still cannot remember a hella lot from it…two hits of blotter acid and a bag of weed amongst friends left me with memories of many flash pots on stage (huge flames), Gene Simmons’ solo with the obligatory red “blood” pouring from his mouth, and essentially a mosh pit thing right in front of the stage.

While the acid’s effects subsided over the weekend, still have hearing “issues” from it…and don’t regret one second.

Unlucky is one of my middle names.

The only time I have traveled 100 mph with respect to the earth is in an airplane. I'm fine with that.

The toxicology tests may be impossible to conduct. The scorched earth way of exiting the world may have destroyed all plasma from the two occupants.

The early reporting on this was so bad.
Unfortunately what can one assume. Exploding car. Border crossing. Holiday traffic. Not until they had first hand witnesses and video surveillance, speculation was going to happen.

Well, there is that. But did fix the date. Gettting old and not wearing my reading glasses while trying to type on a phone does sometimes present “challenges”. 🤪

The acid trip is still happening
I wish. Enjoyed lsd quite a lot. Used to say I’d drop hits every day if it wasn’t for the fact you really can’t work like that.

That’s why my tripping days were almost exclusively confined to when I served in the military. Once got out and went to college for RN, never dropped another hit.

Tried mushrooms two months ago. Won’t do that crap again. I’m just a pot head now and forever. Don’t drink alcohol any longer, either. Was quite skilled at it until I wasn’t. Can show you the 40+ stitches I got after chugging a fifth of tequila…back in 1972. Did u kno a broken glass window can be sharp?

Weak sauce. I broke a display window with the back of my head and glass shard hit the outside of my eye socket, or I would have lost an eye. I think I was around nine. No substances involved.

Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah, now I remember...
