Damn! And I thought the mayoral race in the town we used to live that came down to 12 votes was nuts!

Explosion on the Rainbow Bridge just shut down all the Canadian border crossings in WNY. Seeing an update that a border crossing agent has minor burns and two occupants of the vehicle are deceased. Doesn’t appear to have any remnants of a bomb. Vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed before crashing into the “fence” according to a witness.

The original reports were claiming a car bomb. Not that any of it is good, obviously. I'm only an hour from there, so I got a bunch of alerts as soon as it happened.

They got told at the first security check point to pull over at the next one and instead of pulling over they accelerated and crashed. Did you see the security footage of the actual crash? It's insane.

Buffalo airport is now closed?? I didn't see that part yet. I just closed Twitter because it's a fucking cesspool. I'm choosing to believe the crash was due the hit at high velocity and not explosives. Between the the Buffalo Tops shooter who also combed my city for targets, my kid's school having an emergency evacuation last year, and now this, it all feels very close. I hate this world sometimes.

Yikes that is awful. Idk about border crossing volume, or really how many people cross from US into Canada today but on the “busiest travel day” it’s extra terrible.

I mean, we went on a random Tuesday in August and it took us like 2 hours to get back into the US. I can't imagine how busy it is today. We take the Lewiston bridge though. Rainbow Bridge is notoriously busier.

I'm glad it wasn't anything malicious. I feel terrible for the people in the car.

TFG is attending the Clemson South Carolina game tonight as the personal guest of our Governor Foghorn Leghorn. This is what he will see on the way into the stadium. if you can’t read it it says: You lost. You’re Guilty. Welcome to Columbia Donald. For the dumpster fire our state is, stuff like this makes me have hope change is on the horizon.
