Dunno if this belongs into any particular thread.

Hoping this is just a coincidence to happen on the day of a scheduled presidential visit. Ugh. Hoping no serious injuries... I can't imagine.

All of the bridges are trash so this isn’t surprising. Hopefully no major injuries.

To talk about infrastructure. Cue the conspiracy talk in 3...2...1...

This is the second thing recently involving a bus. The infamous convention center sinkhole only had 1 person and a driver on it thankfully. This looks to have had 3 people and a driver on it.

what does false flag mean

[NobodyHere]

A fake attack, usually to stir up outrage.

[PilotMan]

An staged event in order to rouse support for some sort of public opinion.

As in...Newtown School shootings were a false flag to drive the national conversation about gun control as a premise to take away your guns.

and

9/11 was a false flag to scare Americans into giving up their rights to privacy and raise support for the President so he could go to war with Iraq.

[QuikSand]

what does false flag mean

a newsworthy, attention-getting occurrence that didn't even happen, was staged to grab the attention or headlines

it's the term used by insane people who claim that major gunman-shoots-up-kids events are fraudulent

it's revolting and apparently profitable because so many of our neighbors are fucking rubes

Yikes.
