Reports about this are just coming in so the usual rules apply here, i.e. some of the early reports may turn out to be wrong. So far what we’re seeing looks very unusual to say the least. A vehicle of some kind exploded at a bridge spanning the border between the US and Canada in Niagara Falls, New York. The bridge is now closed and the FBI announced it is investigating a “vehicle explosion.”

So what happened here? A local news outlet has some eyewitness reports:
Traveling down Niagara Street, the car reportedly sped the wrong way into the inspection booths, where the explosion occurred…
Two witnesses who were present in the area when the incident happened told the Gazette that they heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion and saw a large cloud of smoke near the inspections station on Wednesday morning shortly before police arrived on the scene.
Video and photos from the scene make it seem like this was a pretty large explosion.

This person is suggesting this could be terrorism but to be clear no authorities have said that yet. But look at the damage.
