[Explosion on Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls. Posted as a safety warning. Mods please]

If one is purposely going to drive their car as fast as they can into a border station to cause damage to themselves/others/the station/the bridge, would they:

 

A: Drive down the open road, admittedly while swerving between a few cars, directly into the station

 

or

 

B: Drive directly into a tiny "ramp" that hopefully propels you over a fence to hopefully hit your target, the border station

 

I'd guess A, but you never know.

Based on reports so far, I think some moron was driving recklessly through the falls down Main (which happens quite often), swerved around a car at around 100 MPH, lost control, and went over/through the fence into the checkpoint area where it crashed and thus exploded.

Based on eyewitness video. The witness as stating it was in the US and headed at a very high rate of speed towards the border. Crashing into the booths there. 

 

Also am in the area and have heard similar reports.

 

The logic of this being a suicide bomber doesn't make much sense as they detonated at the border with few targets nearby when multiple other soft targets exist within the vicinity of the border and WNY in general.

 

I am taking a lot of these initial reports with a grain of salt until there is more straightforward reporting.

Right. Makes sense. Wasn’t a 3rd and whatever. It was 2nd down and 1 yard to go when they were doing pretty much whatever they wanted to us. McDermott loves his useless defensive timeouts. 

 

My bad that 2 and 1 defensive timeout was in the first half.

 

The 1st one wasted in the 2nd half was on the potential delay of game

Because McDermott used 1 on a very questionable challenge, and while he was on defense of I’m not mistaken, much earlier in the quarter. I dont even remember what it was used for.

 

I believe he called his first timeout when Cincy had a 2nd and 1.

 

They gained the first down after McD wasted that one, too.

I'm sure he has a guy in his ear that told him it was obvious so we wouldn't lose the timeout.  That guy might be fired now.

 

 

Shouldn't the coach who makes probably 20-30x more than that guy in his ear realize that it is a 9-yard play and not worth the challenge regardless of what the guy in his ear is saying? 

 

I want a coach who has the awareness to not make stupid decisions like this.

Ya Looked to me like it hit the ground as well.

 

Regardless it was a 9 yard play you’re challenging on first down.

 

Makes absolutely 0 sense to challenge that unless you’re 100 percent sure

 

Makes 0 sense to challenge even if you are 100% sure because you're relying on someone else to also be 100% sure

I mean the ball literally hits his glove and not the ground. I get that the play was incomplete on the field, but that was very clearly a catch

 

If it was clearly a catch it would have been ruled a catch.

[Stupidest Challenge of All Time]

Even if it was a 99% chance of being reversed that 1% chance of losing the timeout for a NINE YARD GAIN is enough to not challenge the play. 
 

Absolutely idiotic 

[Stupidest Challenge of All Time]

A gain of 9 yards is nowhere near close to the value of a timeout.

 

The play was not obvious and should not have been challenged.

 

Whoever made that decision is a moron. 

[Bills @ Bengals Game Thread - 2nd Half]

TO did more for this team than Von has.

 

what a brutal signing 

[Bills @ Bengals Game Thread - 2nd Half]

Sure could use that timeout 

[Bills @ Bengals Game Thread - 2nd Half]

Kincaid has almost fumbled a few times already today. That was a matter of time.

 

Brutal.

 

Cincy has average TEs off the street dominating us and our 1st round best hands around TE can't hang on to the ***** ball

[I've been on McD's side, but.....]

Saving his timeout just in case he needs to use it in defense 

 

what a loser

The most points the Bucs have allowed this year is 25. This was a good game from the offense.

Agree.

 

This offense was nowhere near good enough though to confirm it’s better with Knox on the bench.

Timid coach and turnover hurt us. 

 

That also hurts us when 12 personnel is run. 

[The Knox injury unfortunately has changed this offense for the better]

They only scored 24 points

[TB @ Buffalo Game thread - 2nd Half]

When McD settled for the FG in the first quarter I knew it would be a nail biter. Thankfully that (and the other wimpy 4th and 2 punts) didn't screw them at the end because Godwin was looking the wrong way.
