Morning Wire XX
[0] I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor -in -Chief John Bickley.
[1] It's Wednesday, November 22nd, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
[2] In a developing story, the FBI is investigating a vehicle explosion today on the American side of the U .S. Canada Bridge in Niagara Falls.
[3] Information regarding injuries and the cause of the explosion have not yet been officially released.
[4] The AP reports that the two people in the vehicle are dead, while sources told Fox News, that this was an attempted terror attack.
[5] The FBI said in a statement that its Buffalo field office is coordinating with local state and federal law enforcement partners, but as the situation is, quote, very fluid, that's all that we can say at this time.
[6] Both the White House and the Canadian government said that they are closely monitoring the situation.
[7] The explosion prompted the closure of other nearby border crossings as a precaution, while the Buffalo Niagara International Airport announced extra security checks on cars and passengers.
[8] Here's how one eyewitness described the blast.
[9] My wife and I were walking down Main Street here, and the car was coming, flying back here, like over 100 miles an hour.
[10] We can hardly even see me. It was going that quick.
[11] There was a car in front of him.
[12] He swerved around it, and then it looked like he hit the fence, and this fire started, and then all of a sudden he went up in the air, and then it was a ball of fire like 30, 40 feet high.
[13] I've never seen anything like it.
[14] The 97th annual Macy's Day Parade will start 30 minutes early for the first time ever at 8 .30 a .m. Eastern Time.
[15] The parade will feature 26 floats, 12 marching bands, and 700 clowns.
[16] Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy winner, share will be featured at the end of the parade just before Santa Claus.
[17] The holiday tradition is expected to attract 3 million in -person spectators to New York City.
[18] A small New Hampshire town called Hinsdale was stunned to.
[19] to receive a $3 .8 million gift from a local trailer park resident following his death in June at the age of 82.
[20] Jeffrey Holt led an unassuming existence maintaining the park where he lived but had secretly amassed significant wealth through stock investments.
[21] Holt reportedly did not own a car but instead traveled around on his tractor.
[22] The community was surprised and touched by his generous gift.
[23] Before you go, a quick Thanksgiving message from us.
[24] Like a lot of you, we're going to be spending time with family.
[25] and friends, but we just wanted to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to all of you who tune in each day.
[26] It allows us to do what we do.
[27] We also want to give you a heads up about the next few days of content instead of regular weekday shows.
[28] We have several really great extended interview episodes lined up for your holiday weekend, including a special Thanksgiving day episode about the real history of the holiday.
[29] That said, as always in the event of any major news development, we won't hesitate to drop an extra episode.
[30] And if you can't get enough news and you've been eyeing a Wire Plus membership, those are now available half off.
[31] That's our best sale of the year.
[32] Also, as always, we've got Morning Wire merch available in our online shop.
[33] The mug is my favorite.
[34] Me too.
[35] We will be back with a regular slate of shows on Monday.
[36] Until then, happy Thanksgiving.
[37] But before we go, John, what are you looking forward to?
[38] Football, family, turkey.
[39] In that order?
[40] Am I allowed to say a controversial thing about sweet potato casserole?
[41] And that's all the time we've got this afternoon.
[42] Thanks for tuning in.
[43] You'll hear from us tomorrow for a special Thanksgiving episode.
[44] Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
