Apparently it’s a failed terrorist attack.

glad the game isnt in Buffalo. Might have been cancelled and definitely a headache for Canadians to get to the game.

 

Also good is that there are no innocent bystanders who were hurt or killed.

is it wrong to point out it was Fox news who was the ones calling it a terrorist attack, before it was actually confirmed?

Wow.  What a ###### way to start the Thanksgiving holiday.

Hope the Border Guard that went to the hospital is ok and that it was a precautionary move.

[Zamboni]

Posters can get mad all they want … but these are the EARLY PRELIMINARY reports …

 

Suspicious vehicle was asked to pull over in a secondary inspection area. The car moved and blew up. Suspected car bomb.

Possibility another car got through checkpoint.

Two people inside the car are dead. One border agent is injured. One pedestrian is injured.

International flights to and from the Buffalo Niagara airport are suspended currently.

Early reports are, other bombs were discovered at other border bridges in the Western New York area.
 

All bridges in the Western New York area to and from Canada are currently closed.

Some of these may turn out to not be true… That’s why I stress again… Again… These are early preliminary reports.

I didn’t realize it was nothing this serious.

I saw an Ontario Provincial Police press release that USA borders in the Niagara region were closed and suspected weather.

[Zamboni]

Authorities on the federal level are no longer giving updates. All the updates will now come through state authorities.

Well, with the bridges all closed, the ballerinas are going to take a hit to their pocket books.  Probably were expecting a big night w/ the Americans not having to work tomorrow.

Lisit seems the car was originating from Niagara Falls NY, not coming from Canada.  be careful posting what you see on Twitter.  Bunch of Right Wing Conspiracy Theorists want you to be scared before all the facts are known.

1) "Suspicious vehicle was asked to pull over in a secondary inspection area. The car moved and blew up. Suspected car bomb.

2) Possibility another car got through checkpoint.

3) Early reports are, other bombs were discovered at other border bridges in the Western New York area.

It never ceases to amaze me how preliminary reports can be so ..... subject to change.

[Zamboni]

Multiple federal agencies are now backtracking what they originally said and released to the press. And multiple press sources were repeating and confirming the reports just two hours ago.

 

Now the latest is a car tried turning around after going through the inspection booth and lost control as they did a U-turn and crashed into a booth or building there and caught on fire.

The back tracking is delicious… This is getting interesting lol

 

[Crusader1969]

Fox news has changed its Headline already ....no longer a mention of terrorism. 

Its laughable how bad they wanted it!

CNN: Waiting for facts
MSNBC: Waiting for facts
CBS: Waiting for facts
ABC: Waiting for facts
Fox News: IT'S A TERRORIST ATTACK!!!

Actually all or most of those sources were saying things early on. And it looks like they were all wrong.

Every one

It was an incident/accident where a couple people died and a couple others got hurt.  Basking in the warm glow of the fear, confusion and changing reports is kind of perverse.

Well, when your entire business plan is fear based...
