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

#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.

#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

#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.

#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...

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

#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?

#14 You mean to tell me the word 'casinö' is on Fred's dirty word list?

#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.

#16 Tilt steering wheel?

Bentley driver may have suffered 'medical emergency' before crashing $300,000 supercar into Canadian border on ill-fated trip to see KISS with his wife: Authorities struggle to identify couple's 'incinerated' remains after fireball sparked terror fears

#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.

#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.

#19 /\ Exploding Weber grills ?

#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.

#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.

#23 What kind of business was the driver in?
