According to U.S. Navy Officials; this Morning at roughly 3:40am a Vehicle attempting to enter Expeditionary Base Little Creek–Fort Story in Norfolk, Virginia ran the Front Gate causing Security Forces to place the Base on Lockdown and raise the Hydraulic-Access Barriers, which the Vehicle subsequently Collided with and caught Fire before Exploding.

The on Base Fire Service was Activated and the Fire was Extinguished, however the Driver was declared Dead at the Scene. The Incident is currently being Investigated by NCIS and other Federal Agencies.

just a "confused driver" or a suicide bomb attack or...

Storming a US Naval Base is suicide and stupid. Darwin Award candidate.

3:40 am, could have been a drunk. They may or may not have belonged on the base.

Gate 8, if my guess is correct, leads onto the Fort Story portion of the JE base. The Navy has the 304 Psyop Company there, along with a whole bunch of unlabeled buildings. In contrast, Little Creek, which is (or was) where the SEALs train, has a lot more buildings labeled.

That said, I wouldn't discount the possibility that the driver was confused and possibly even intoxicated. There are a bunch of civilian roads out near Ft Story that lead to public beaches, and since this took place Saturday night, a drunk racing to the beach and taking a wrong turn is certainly plausible.

They say it caught fire and then exploded? Fuel tank, or bomb?

that might be interesting question to get answered eh.

When a car hits that sort of barrier is a fire and explosion normal or was that car loaded for bear?

If it was an act of terrorism keep that kind of stupid coming. Run your car into a barrier and blow yourself up.

Any further information will have to be from the US government, a known liar of epic proportions

 

[Sacajawea]

Yeah, Little Creek ain't gonna make a press release.

IIRC Little Creek is still home to at least one Team and is still the East Coast Training Portal.

Was he chinese? Inquiring minds want to know.

Little Creek is Seal Team 6 Command and Control….. I stand corrected, Seal team 2, 4, 8, 10 are stationed in Little Creek. Seal Team 6 is in Dam Neck, V.a

This has been a test of the Probing Terrorist Network.

If this had been an actual emergent penetration of American defences, further information would be forthcoming.

I'm hoping it was a drunk sailor. Otherwise, things are heading toward spicy land soon.

Why plenty of videos on YouTube of vehicles crashing into those pop up barriers.
Hint, you don't get through.

But do you typically explode?

But do you typically explode?

I was hoping to see more info this morning. Normally, no, vehicles don't explode when they hit these barriers. Mainly because ya' can't get going fast enough before you hit.
