Doesn't seem to fit any existing mayhem thread. Two dead at Rainbow Bridge near Buffalo.

Confusing situation, to say the least. Last I saw, the customs officer only suffered minor injuries. I'm certain there's a whole lot of questions but very few answers right now, except for the armchair posters on social media who are already forming conspiracy theories.

Vivek doing a happy dance.

Yeah, not much concrete in terms of details up here either. It will play havoc for Thanksgiving and Black Friday visitors that's for sure.

Per CNN, sounds like it was more an accident than terrorism.

Heard the airport was closed too. Totally unnecessary. What a shirtshow on the busiest travel day of the year.

Fox had apparently been going full bore with the terrorism angle. Now apparently walking it back to "Stolen car." Hochul saying "no sign of terrorism."

I'm sure the Fox Angertainment division is quite sad about that.

And of course, Ted Cruz bit.

I'm sure Ted, Benny and Fox will correct the record as soon as possible.

Oh, wait. They're all fear-mongering chuckleforks. Never mind.

See the JFK assassination thread for the right way to handle a big story.

Fox News is the shirtstain on the trousers of television broadcast news.

It also helped that in 1963 every moron in the country wasn't able to immediately spread nonsense by pushing a few buttons and delivering it to the world. And have others take it seriously.

CNN now reporting 56-year-old man, driving an expensive Bentley with his wife on their way to a concert and it was some sort of terrible accident.

Fox can't even have the stolen car angle to say about Biden: "Crime, boy, I don't know."
