    Hmmm... it looks like our leaders have info on this which is not shared. Now, that could be a sign the "accident" was more than it seemed to be. Yet, without further info, we must wait and see.

    Doesn't make sense for it to be a terrorist attack, target is too low value. Maybe a murder - suicide, but probably just a crash.

    [on edit] Due to the explosion, maybe it was premature on the way to a better target.

    My guess is just a crash that had the fuel explode.

    now they are saying it was a man and his wife in the van.

    He probably couldn't take her nagging anymore and decided to end it

    There are few factual answers----there were few clues left behind

    They "think" that it was a man and a woman---but that is conjecture---the pieces are too small to make an ID at this point---or even to prove there were two occupants.

    The vehicle was a Bentley---known only by the one remaining piece big enough to ID---the engine

    There is no thought that this was terrorists related.

    It might have been right after the driver said: "hold my beer........and watch this"

    A good summary.

    It could have been a mechanical malfunction, an intentional murder-suicide, or a medical event causing the driver to stand on the accelerator. I suspect we will never know.

    I have the same thought---there is very little to go on
