Two dead and two critically injured in fiery crash outside Kodak Center; FBI confirms they're investigating - WHEC.com (https://www.whec.com/top-news/car-engulfed-in-flames-in-front-on-kodak-center-on-west-ridge-road/)
You don't often hear about the FBI investigating a traffic accident. I counted about 18 possible containers (some appear to be melted and some might be hidden by the tarp) that could have contained combustibles that were in the Expedition. Just a bit odd to be driving around at 0100 New Years morning with that in your car.
They're debating is this is going to be considered terrorism or not. Some more info as this unfolds.

- Perp. drove POV to Syracuse and rented the SUV from the airport.
