| [MAIL] A motorist who plowed into the Canadian border sparking terror fears was a New York businessman driving a $300,000 Bentley 'Flying Spur' with his wife in the passenger seat, it has emerged. The 56-year-old businessman and his wife, who have not been named, died when the supercar smashed into the US checkpoint and burst into flames at 11.27am. They had been at the Seneca Niagara casino resort prior to the explosion - but were only there for 'minutes', a spokesman told DailyMail.com. 'We are cooperating with law enforcement in their investigation into the incident that occurred near the Rainbow Bridge,' the spokesman said. 'We have reviewed and provided information related to a vehicle that stopped at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino only for a matter of minutes shortly before the crash occurred.' Sources within the casino said the couple were not believed to be regulars, and were possibly only in the resort to change money. They were intending on driving to a Kiss concert in Canada, CNN's John Miller reported, which was later canceled due to a bandmember suffering from flu. Miller said there was some speculation the driver, from a well-known family in Grand Isle, New York, had a medical issue.

| #22 Yeah, I thought "mob hit" once I heard about the Bentley and the quick visit to the casin0. But whatever the gum'ment tells us might be tough to believe. |

| #21 Exploding Weber grills ? Heh. Thirty years ago I did a Thanksgiving turkey on the Weber Silver grill, smoked w/ a couple of chunks of hickory & oak chips. It was one of my finest works. |

| #18 My roomie's thinking there were a few grill-sized propane cylinders (full ones) in the trunk. One of the bits of flying debris did look a bit convex / concave, but that doesn't necessarily connect those dots. |

| #17 Sorry. Unless vehicle was utterly reduced to ash, you can get a VIN, find out who owns it and start looking for who is missing. No need for fancy CSI: Clueless machinations. Don't even bother trying to tell me a toll collection or traffic control system camera didn't catch the license plate. |

| #15 You mean to tell me the word 'casinö' is on Fred's dirty word list? Probably from back in the day when there were innumerable spambots hawking their online 'casinös'. On the other hand, I do like #10 as a high-possibility motive. |

| #13 They know the two were at a casinö prior to the boom-boom but nothing else. Yeah, right. "New York businessman". Possibly close ties to Gov. Hochul and the DNC as well? |

| #12 I like #10. Bomb in car, guy with remote waiting near tollbooth. The location muddies the waters in a big way. |

| #8 They thought they were getting back in their car at the ca$ino, but it was actually Bond's. Who knew the same key fob opened every fifth one... |

| #7 An exploding Bentley Flying Spur? Air bag eruption? Anti-theft grenades? Nitroglycerin filled Michelins? Occupants headed to a black powder turkey shoot? Vehicle registration? Dealer? Cell phones ? Grieving family members, neighbors? celebration of life event ? No terrorist attack here. No, the bodies were unrecognizable and will likely remain as such. This sort of thing rarely happens in NY. Move along please, nothing more to be seen here. |

| #6 Agree w/ MM; too big of a fireball for only a tank of gas. And no id of occupants. Looks like math be hard cuz something ain’t adding up |

| #5 I still say way too much bang for a passenger vehicle gasoline fire. Cars only blow up like that in movies and 60 Minutes episodes. |

| #1 Keeping the identities rather close hold it would appear. Perhaps there is a bit more to this story. |
