A vehicle has exploded on a bridge that connects the US and Canada near the Niagara Falls, according to the FBI.

The incident took place on the Rainbow Bridge one day before the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, one of the busiest travel days of the year.

"As this situation is fluid, this is all we can say at this time," the FBI said in a statement.

According to the city of Niagara Falls, the incident involved a vehicle that was "coming into" the US.

The incident took place just around 11:30 local time (16:30GMT).

A senior law enforcement official told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that the car was coming from Canada and crashed into a pylon at a high rate of speed. Canadian officials said that has not been confirmed.

The investigation is being headed by the FBI.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to CBS, also said it is too early to say what caused the vehicle to explode.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul posted on X, formerly Twitter that "state agencies are on site and ready to assist" in the federal investigation.

"I am traveling to Buffalo to meet with law enforcement and emergency responders and will update New Yorkers when more information becomes available," she added.

The bridge connects Ontario with New York and links the cities of Niagara Falls, US with Niagara Falls, Canada.

In addition to the Rainbow Bridge, the incident has led to the closure of three other international border crossings in the region.

The Peace Bridge, Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, Whirlpool Bridge, and Rainbow Bridge are also closed in both directions, officials say.

Witnesses told the Niagara Gazette newspaper that they heard what sounded like an explosion and a cloud of smoke shortly before police arrived.

"We heard something smash," one witness said. "We saw fire and big, black smoke."

Canada's Public Safety Minister Dominic Leblanc told journalists in Ottawa that "we are working closely with American counterparts".

"This is a rapidly changing situation," he added.

Security officials at the Buffalo airport, located 20 miles (32km) from the bridge, announced that they were increasing security checks due to the incident.

"Cars coming into the Buffalo airport will undergo security checks and travelers can expect additional screenings," airport security officials said, adding that both the Buffalo and Niagara Falls airports "are fully operational".

Let me say this clearly before I make this next statement.
I am not suggesting a terrorist attack. Nor am I planning a terrorist attack. Nor am I wishing for one. This is not a fed post. I'm a good Goy when it comes to that.

Okay. With that out of the way.

Terrorists could easily get their plans from books and terrorist movies and it would be so ludicrous that nobody would be prepared for it, let alone actually believe it.

Long Kiss Goodnight - "Project Honeymoon" was intended to be a false flag chemical bomb detonation in Niagara Falls, planned by the CIA in an attempt to blame islamic terrorists and secure more funding,


Wouldn't it be surreal if someone just watched that movie and said " Well, nobody remembers geena davis movies, let's try that."
Bunch of likely bot accounts on Twitter started spamming that an Iranian passport was found. Lmao.
The dude they planned to frame for the bombing was Iranian too, omfg.

It's just like my shitty 90s romance action spy movies that I watch with my wife [insert soyjack here.]

Off the bat I want to fully support any and all skitzo theories that could be brought to bare on the situation.
 
That looks like it might just be an electric car fire.
Somehow it did have a bit of an shockwave by looking at the pictures.
It wouldn't surprise me if this was nothing more than the average vehicle fire that culminated in an explosion with no sort of malice or nefarious intent behind it.

The media is so hellbent to spin a narrative these days, they can take something as ordinary as paint drying and make it sound like something so scary people need to stand up to oppose it.

There are so many spam bot accounts on social media it's unreal - especially when multiple accounts spam the same thing verbatim or post links for nonexistent events or livestreams that are likely for malware/phishing.
 
Imported Snackbar or is Trudeau's Canada now so shitty that the are producing their own homegrown extremists like third world countries do?
Both, we have been importing terrorist for decades ( our far left party leader is barred from India and the US for the kalistanni air india bombing, AND is the one keeping turdo minority in power ) and we have multiple enclave of different race recreating their shitholes in canada . Brampton is 95% brown indians, pakis etc and the entire province of """"british"""" Columbia is chinese

It really says something that the libfag Canada subreddit is already locking comments on threads about it. Only took an hour for the liberal party members that run the sub to get tired of Canadians debating what active terrorist groups and terrorist movements freely operating in Canada with impunity could be responsible and why.
