Surprisingly the number of barrels outweighs the population of Kentucky as there are 4.3 million residents. Breaking Updates Explosion at Rainbow Bridge Reminds Us Nation's Borders Have Been a Weak Spot for Too Long A car exploded at the Rainbow Bridge at the U.S.-Canadian border. Officials are now raising a question as to whether the car, in fact, contained explosives or exploded due to the force of the impact/crash. The Rainbow Bridge has been closed to all traffic amid reports of a vehicle explosion just outside the border inspections plaza on the American side.
