We know so much about the Rainbow Bridge incident…except for the driver’s name

  Andrea Widburg - American Thinker  "Yesterday, the news was filled with reports of an attack at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing between the United States and Canada near Niagara Falls. It was a dramatic incident that ended with a fiery explosion. Very quickly, though, we were told, “Not to worry. It was just a guy speeding.” What we haven’t been told, though, is the names of the people involved. In this day and age of cynicism and paranoia, I find that silence weird.

"In the footage below, you can see the car at the very top of the screen, in the background, as it begins to soar:


. . ."CNN even gave us the driver’s age—56. 

"And that’s it. The news stories I can find are, at the latest, from early yesterday evening. Since then, there’s complete media silence.

"But have you noticed the one thing missing from this whole narrative? Yup, the couple’s identity.

"Now, it’s possible that they’re not releasing the name until relatives have been notified, but that’s not usually the case when something is headline news, the way this crash was. Instead, the names of the people involved instantly appear on social media. And given the level of detail we have about the couple—where they lived, how old the driver was, what they were doing that evening—you’d think someone would know their names." . . .

 Sources Tell Fox News NY Vehicle Explosion at Rainbow Bridge Border Crossing Is Attempted Terror Attack (resistthemainstream.com)   "Explosives were found in the vehicle that left the two vehicle occupants dead. One border officer and one civilian, a 27-year-old man, were injured in the blast and transported to Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital. . . 

. . ."An Iranian passport was found at the scene.

"All bridges are closed in the area and government officials in the region are on high alert. Several buildings have closed out of an abundance of caution.

"There is speculation the vehicle exploded prematurely and was headed to New York City’s annual Macy’s Day parade."
