(IntegrityPress.org) – Advanced 3D scanning technology is being utilized by law enforcement authorities to construct a digital representation of the crash site following the Rainbow Bridge vehicle explosion on Wednesday, November 22. Niagara Falls Police Department Chief John Faso emphasized the complexity of the investigation, cautioning that it’s a huge undertaking that won’t yield quick results.
The focus of the inquiry is shifting toward the possibility of a mechanical failure as the cause of the incident. Experts are particularly interested in the vehicle’s Event Data Recorder (EDR), similar to the “black boxes” that are on airplanes, which could provide crucial insights into the crash. Mayor Robert M Restaino disclosed that the Bentley, driven by the couple identified as Kurt Villani and Monica Villani, was an older model, suggesting a potential mechanical glitch that might have led to sudden acceleration near the border checkpoint.
Video footage captured the vehicle accelerating, hitting a curb on the US side, becoming airborne, and subsequently exploding, resulting in the tragic demise of the couple. Initial concerns about a potential terrorist attack were dispelled by New York Governor Kathy Hochul and FBI officials, asserting there was no evidence of such activity. Mayor Restaino paid tribute to the Villanis, describing them as “kind, easygoing” individuals.
Expressing doubt about the crash being intentional, Mayor Restaino stated that investigators are exploring every avenue, but intentional action seems improbable based on his conversations with them. The Villanis, survived by a son and a daughter, ran Gui’s Lumber, a business with eight locations in western New York.
The Rainbow Bridge crash involved, as aforementioned, the Villanis, residents of Grand Island, New York, who were planning to attend a KISS concert in Toronto, Canada. However, the concert was canceled because KISS frontman Paul Stanley is sick. The tragic incident raises questions, but due to the condition of the vehicle and human remains, the exact cause may never be found out.
