A car exploded at one of the crossings between the US and Canada here in New York.  Of course, FOX is beating the drum about it being a terrorist attack, even though the most recent indications is that it wasn't one.

Gotta love the comments I'm seeing about this being Biden's fault for having open borders, when in fact, even if it was a terrorist attack, it happened at the border and didn't get through, showing that the borders are not actually open and the security works...

The US and Canada border is the longest de-militarized border in the world, yet folks think it is a good idea to militarize it?

So, I have not heard much about this. Why? Because it was literally just a car accident with someone driving way too fast hitting a median and exploding.

Therefore, we need to secure the border! /s

Victims of Niagara Falls crash identified as husband and wife from western New York
Kurt and Monica Villani, both 53, were killed in a deadly explosion after their vehicle crashed and went airborne on Rainbow Bridge.

In a news briefing Thursday afternoon, Niagara Falls Mayor Robert Restaino said investigators believed the pair were headed to a KISS concert on Wednesday night. The concert was eventually canceled because frontman Paul Stanley was sick with the flu, according to a post by the guitarist on X.



A spokesperson for Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino on the U.S. side of the border said the couple stopped at the casino for “a matter of minutes shortly before the crash occurred.”



Police said the crash is still under investigation, but have determined that there were no explosives or a connection to terrorism.

Well, FOX and NY Post were immediately reporting it as a terrorist attack when it happened.
