In 1974 a Chinese farmer accidentally uncovers one of the greatest archeological jewels in all history, the Chinese terracotta army, 8,000 terracotta soldiers to guard the Emperor Shi Huang (259 BC) and every single one has a different face.

There have been incidents like that over here, a car crashes into a crowd and the first thought is a terrorist attack, most of the time it isn't.

Terrorist attacks have become so prevalent that most people in every country automatically associate every incident with terrorism.  The media guides them every step of the way beginning with just mentioning the word.

Now the conflicting reports, conjecture, conspiracy theories continue. Why such a high rate of speed? What caused the devastating explosion? Suicide attempt? Drugs involved? Alcohol involved? The couple had just left the Niagara Casino so anger over gambling loss? Had tickets for the KISS concert in Toronto which was canceled so they were pissed off? Wealthy people so they were used to immunity for driving fast? Vehicle equipment malfunction? Heart attack? Trump's fault?

Black Friday Big sales at all the shopping malls with women flocking to them in a feeding frenzy. All the bridges are open now, so the Canucks are pouring over the border to get the bargains & escape their high prices & smothering taxes. You see them half-naked in the parking lots discarding their worn-out duds for new Chinese made bargains. They are a hardy lot with their pink complexions turning blue in the 35F temperature.

September 14, 1879 Margaret Sanger born in Corning, New York. Founder of the modern birth control movement which later became Planned Parenthood. Her early writings & speeches caused quite a turmoil in the early 1900's which forced her to flee to G.B. until things quieted down. She went to the Great Beyond in 1966. "Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, or preventing the birth of defectives or those who will become defectives." Margaret Sanger

Canada is insignificant for terror attacks because it is insignificant. Latest conflicting report is that the car, a Bentley, was driven by an American who had a heart attack. His wife was also killed. They owned several lumber & hardware stores.

I have even heard the story a bit different again now that the reason you just give. They were going so fast (80mph) and in a hurry coming from the casino to get to a Concert in Canada. Correct me if I'm wrong Tommy but there is a dividing line or space in the middle of the bridge which separates both Countries. It has cameras on it and the Canadian side would see the speed he was coming and I'm sure they would stop it and issue a speeding ticket and probably not allow them to enter Canada. As you can see with so may twists and turns to the story you can see why a story reported so badly can lead to an armed conflict and bad feelings by two neighbours.

I prefer conspiracy theories.  They are more interesting.  I haven't seen race or ethnic backgrounds listed yet.

Kurt & Monica Villani, both 53 years old, Grand Island, N.Y. they own several hardware & lumber yards in the area. The car was a 2022 Bentley Flying Spur which indicates they were enjoying their financial success in life.

My brother and his family used to go over to the states from time to time, dressed in their oldest rags, where they would all kit themselves out in brand new togs, dump their clothes in a bin and drive back to the third world done up to the high heavens.

She does make good points and all are true.

Well for sure I'm not going to buy a 2022 Bentley Flying Spur after seeing what that one looked like after the crash.

If it had been make out of painted cardboard it would have held up better.

Well it did have the "flying" part down pat, it was the "landing" part that failed.
