Draconator Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I have a workmate whose brother is in the FBI. He's saying it was a Tesla, possibly in self-driving mode, that was on the US side, traveling at close to 100 mph, hit a curb, went airborne, and crashed into a secondary inspection site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what it is, just one more reason to not feel cool about turning over a Tesla self-driving mode. Dang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukestreetking Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Just want to clarify early comment, so I'm not spinning anything up: Not all the imagery I've seen would indicate a VBIED attack, at least that I'm familiar with (ex, lack of cratering, wider blast damage, other). So...12-24 hr definitely applies here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimmer323i Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 No one knows for sure if there were explosives in the vehicle… the car went airborne and it an object and exploded… Coulda been just gas tank exploded but who knows… just seen seen on a live news report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a Tesla (which it appeared to me from the wheel in the wreckage), it didn't "just blow up". Teslas burn, they don't detonate. A high speed wreck might catastrophicly rupture the batteries to basically explode. Also a Tesla would be a weird terrorist car to blow up.

JoPoy88 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Just in case anyone has fam or friends flying in or out of Buffalo airport and are reading some stuff here and elsewhere, it is NOT closed. A small international charter (Signature Airlines) voluntarily paused int’l arrivals/departures, but that’s it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Someone trying to relive 1812 all over again? It started then with the Canucks burning a bar down in Buffalo. What drinking establishment was this crazed Tesla driver after this time? I vote that we not have a repeat of the war again. We can just call it even if the Canucks will just send us all of their beer and peameal bacon. They can throw in a few truckloads of poutine and butter tarts for good measure. Oh, and let’s just say Rush is an American band for good measure. Agree to these terms and the Americans will not retaliate with any northbound Teslas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER DOT COM Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 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.
