maybe it was an electric car that had the accelerator stuck and soon after the crash, the batteries blew up?

As usual, TV rushing to report the story with no facts but a plethora of "experts."

Eye wtnesses say car was driving on circles with two people arguing, then sped into the bridge at a high rate of speed, crashed into a 3 foot high barriwe, went airborne maybe 15 feet, crashed down slid, blew up.

Explosives may not have been involved.

Might just be nothing?

I heard the car was stolen - we will never know the truth and FBI will get MILLIONS to increase their 'domestic terrorist' efforts...

The world is a ridiculous place...filled with ridiculous people

The amount of news coverage this got...you'd think this car slammed into the White House...nobody cares enough about the US-Canada border to stage a terror attack there...it was a freakin' accident.

If it WERE a terrorist attack, no way you'd be seeing video of the car flying through the air so soon...22 years later and still no video of the plane hitting the Pentagon...full stop...

It was probably a murder/suicide that went wrong, didn't make it into the gorge but mission accomplished.

That is the most likely explanation.

I would like to say something that means very little but I think the Canadians might have interest in not only getting this right but also be a help with structured problem solving. Concluding something fast is a disservice, this is on different scale and it is way too early to say things.
