    Apparently the vehicle never left the US. Could very well have just been an accident rather than an intentional act although the cause is still to be determined.

    You clearly haven't been paying much attention lately. Sure that's a strong possibility. But equally as likely is white guy, same age.

    Cars don't really explode unless they were transporting something explosive. I'll come eat crow but I doubt this was an accident.

    We miss the fun of rampant speculation though

    This appears to be real. The rate of speed and impact could easily lead to witnesses using the word "explosion" in a way that doesn't necessarily mean bomb.

    Explosion way too small to be a terror bomb.

    Yeah. If you crash a car with a full gas tank into a wall at a high rate of speed that "explosion" makes sense

    Car crashed doing 100 and burst into flames. Doesn’t sound like any sort of bomb, just a high speed crash that ruptured the fuel tank. That gives you a fireball that witnesses would call an “explosion” but isn’t an explosion as we’d think of a bomb with blast damage…

    A bomb would confirm some form of terrorism. The lack of a bomb leaves it open. Could be targeted. Could be totally random. The identities of the 2 deceased probably gives a clue. With it being 2 in the car, my money is on domestic dispute murder suicide/road rage. Male driver. With there being a recent financial setback, such as job loss leading to marital issues. :ninja2:

    Or could just be old fart that had a heart attack. If it’s an accident. Probably the most covered car crash in recent history.

    Are you saying there are significant differences in the Canadian border security in the Biden admin vs previous policies? Can you expand and provide details?

    Yeah. I know I, and I assume most everyone, was assuming car pulled up to checkpoint and exploded somehow. The video was unexpected
