  1. un attended accelration from a import car. Happens many times but the import car manufacturing will cover it up as usual.

  2. I'm sure the FBI 'can't comment on an ongoing investigation'….what a joke

  3. Was it another Tesla???? Why not mention it? Did someone receive Elon hushbucks?

  4. is it Hamas and the peaceful religion the practice ?

  5. The news, sensationalizing a one car accident. Run for the hills, get in your bunkers, stock up on necessities, and hide as if your life depends on it, cuz them `terrorists` are coming after you. They always try to be the first to break the story and report on it without knowing any details. Terrible journalism. And why do news anchors always use that panicked faster than normal speaking voice? Save that for movies like War of the Worlds or Independence Day.

  6. Arabs are now happy for exporting terrorism to the US

  7. Fiery yet not a terroist attack

  8. Some drunk dudes thought Back to the Future was real

  9. Wow, I didn't know fireworks started earlier. It's not New Year's Eve yet. And it's not yet thanksgiving

  10. Like what the h*** did he hit behind that Pole that sent him flying so far in the air cause I know hit in the sidewalk. When do that? There was like some kind of ramp or some s*** behind there.

  11. This Was a Terrorist ATTACK! Now it's being covered up and I want to know why?

  12. Paranoia strikes deep
    Into your life it will creep
    It starts when you’re always afraid
    You step out of line, the man come and take you away

  13. Looks like speed, wet pavement, took their lives.

  14. No indication? Let's get some facts 1st hocum. Giving an automatic free pass to potential terrorists 🤬

  15. I get a smile when the kiddo Justin Trudeau speaks about serious things!!!

  16. Sure they don’t want to tell truth

  17. News anchor worried about the "heightened threat envidonment" after the attacks on Israel. Makes me wonder. If you are worried about terror attacks, maybe try not to support the systematic #genocide of the #indigenous people? I believe that is how you get extremism: extended #oppression. Don't you US have a history of #oppression and #riots? So then logically these questions follow: Why have you funded the oppression of palestinians? What other avenues have you left for them inside their little US funded concentration camp? Anymore than the israelis that you support, that want to expel them…

    Then again, understanding this comment would require tremendous effort. Effort for which most have neither the time nor the inclination, even if their intellectual tools would allow it.

  18. An obvious attack on those solar panels

  19. Yall need to look hard at the anti-American MAGAets. They threaten violence and should be investigated with every single violent act in this country. Look hard into their entire lives. If they aren't involved in this, then you likely find several other illegal things they are doing. It's who they are. The False Witnesses who pretend to be Christians, but lie and create chaos. Vote against all of them!

  20. Nothing to see here, everything is fine, no harm was done, and we don't see any evidence of terrorism. Any claim of terrorism by anyone is just Russian disinformation!

  21. This is absolutely terrifying. I see similar incidents happen on a weekly basis in my blue sanctuary city where street takeovers are a nightly occurrence. We defunded the police and there's nothing anyone can do to stop the madness.

  22. No indication of a terrorist attack? Faux News is devastated.

  23. Regardless, I'm truly sorry for the families loss. I know how much that knock at the door hurts and changes your life forever. Sending prayers of comfort.

  24. Too many epectric cars are taking over. I believe it a cover up! What kind of car was that?

  25. Possible suicide? Accidental due to alcohol at the casino stop just before? Sad for the victims and everyone affected.

  26. How many intentional lies by Fox TV and Republicans, so far ?

  27. Female drivers always crashing

  28. Are we to believe that was a normal crash and fire. I can't tell you how many cars I see blow up after crashing. Zero. The answer is zero.

  29. Isnt candu groping for a georgi win. ? Too bad.

  30. Toots had size 22 candy stretch marks, gigantic candy arms and shirt hair framing her chinless face. The flap is all new. Oh man. Ain't candy a Christian ala falwell?😊

  31. Bro missed the stunt jump

  32. Guy lost all his money in the casino, then went postal when told to pull into secondary. Hope this helps, calm down people, not a terrorist conspiracy.

  33. Probably domestic violent right winger

  34. LET ME GUESS, POSSIBLE ELETRIC CAR 🚗 FAILURE, OUT CONTROL 😮😊😮

  35. Dude that car flew at least 100 ft! I suppose alcohol could have been a factor but I'm leaning more towards mechanical failure (stuck accelerator or similar). They were able to react and swerve to avoid the other car but they weren't able to stop.
