Because that’s clearly a gas or diesel engine From that distance and resolution, it's not clearly anything. Not saying it isn't, but not clearly is. Would be a coincidence for the wheel to look exactly like a Tesla but be on a gas car. All kinds of weird stuff with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Just saw a video of the car flying thru the air, it looked like it wasn't more than 6'-8' off the ground but it was airborne for maybe 100'. The Gov is saying no indication of terrorist activity. Driver was known to be at the casino prior to the wreck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears they were on the US side and crashed into the booths heading into Canada. From what it appears. My personal opinion. The booths on the US side are for people entering from Canada aren’t they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since1981 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 You can usually tell a lot by the initial reaction of police agencies. They act different, you can hear it. They knew instantly it was a 500-600hp Bentley. Not your average car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
