(33,982 posts)Vehicle strikes an immovable object at high speed that tears out the engine and drive train, and the remains of the vehicle continue on their way.
It would have to be something incredibly sturdy though, like a steel-wrapped concrete pillar. Pretty sure the police would notice the impact damage right away. But they aren't saying anything...

BOSTON BRAKES ASSASSINATION TECHNIQUE BECOMES BIG PROBLEM SOLVER
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
I had never heard of Boston Brakes until two days ago. I had been on the Kevin Barrett radio show yesterday, discussing, among other things, the endless ways to gain control of an aircraft and plow it into a building, something I had been briefed on by my Air Force buddies. There are a dozen ways to gain control of a plane, in fact, the more fly by wire a plane is, the more ways to control it remotely. Now I am told the same thing works for cars, not exactly the same but close enough.
Nothing particularly clever is required, especially when the plane is capable of landing itself or, with a bit of hacking, making an inconvenient stop in the side of a building. I am told this game started with the CIA back in Boston, not with planes but cars. Car wrecks were mechanically staged using the Boston Brakes method, not always fatal but always a good way of communicating to someone your displeasure. Sending a college age daughter into a light pole, reporting her speedometer was stuck at 200 mph and fudging her blood test to show she was double drunk has been done countless times.
It isnt just that crash that makes it Boston Brakes but the speedometer stuck at some outrageous speed and the blood acohol level, always from a sample that is mysteriously misplaced later. Oh, and I almost forgot, no skidmarks, something accident investigators only see at suicides or murder. Remember, always no skidmarks.
The trail that led me to look into Boston Brakes involved the suicide in 2003 of Dr. David Kelly, a suicide now ruled a murder. Kelly was believed to have killed himself because he had been attacked in the press by Prime Minister Tony Blair. Kelly, a prominent weapons scientist had claimed, as we all know is true today, that Tony Blair had falsified intelligence to force Britain into what Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has called the illegal invasion of Iraq. With evidence finally, years later, piling in showing that Kellys body had been moved and a suicide scene staged, pathologist records falsified and that Kelly was murdered with broad complicity by more than one government agency, things have started to take on a life of their own.

And I got ^There^ from Here. This article is new:
[link:http://www.sandiego6.com/story/details-of-reporter-hastings-death-remain-elusive-20130708|Its been nearly three weeks since Michael Hastings was killed in a fiery car accident in West Los Angeles. The award-winning journalist earned his stripes as a wartime reporter and captured fame with his 2010 Rolling Stone story that forced General Stanley McChrystal to resign as commander of the US forces in Afghanistan.
According to City News Service Hastings, 33, was driving south on Highland Avenue when he apparently lost control of the compact (2013 Mercedes Benz CLK250) near Melrose Avenue and crashed into palm trees in the median about 4:20 a.m. Tuesday (June 18). The car's engine reportedly ended up about 200 feet away from the impact site.
An eyewitness at the scene, Jose, employed at nearby business ALSCO Inc said, the car was travelling very fast and he heard a couple explosions shortly before the car crashed. In fact, the explosion was so intense that it took the LA County assistant corner, Ed Winter, two days to identify the burned-beyond recognition body of Hastings. Officials confirm that an autopsy has been performed, but the cause of death is pending. LAPD media spokesperson Lieutenant Andrew Neiman said, it will take several weeks to get the toxicology results. By stark contrast, in Italy, Sopranos star James Gandolfinis family received the toxicology report within a few days.
Despite the intensity of the single car accident, an LAPD statement determined that there was no foul play involved.]

(53,957 posts)Gordon Duff is an anti-Semitic POS, and this "article" blames Israel for the crash, Princess Diana's death, implies they were involved in Kennedy's assassination, and a basically is responsible for the list they provided. Complete bigoted speculative SHIT treated as fact.
