On the question of whether the bride and groom were involved, turns out early reports were incorrect. Not wedding guests. They were on their way to a birthday party.

Reports say one of the 4 sisters was celebrating her 30yh, limo was procured to drive the party to various vineyards/breweries.

NYS had a bad stretch limo accident in 2015, IIRC, Cuomo, Schumer, Obama did nothing about regulating these types of vehicles.

Yes, report said Cuomo needed to enact stiffer regulations, Cuomo disregarded the report which said to expect more tragedy.

FWIW, terrorism is last on my list for this one.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

And I’m sure it was last on many lists when the first Muslim drove down a sidewalk to kill as many as possible.

Or fly into a skyscraper.

If a vehicle crashes at 50 mph and kills everyone on board, without bursting into flames, and maybe still, something drastic was wrong with the vehicle, safety wise.

Agreed

I’m going with the conversion was a crappy job.

When doing a conversion like that things need to be UPGRADED:

BRAKING SYSTEM needs bigger Rotors, Calipers (like ADDING a Second Pair on the front so it’s got 4 Front Calipers).
Upgraded MultiPiston Rear Calipers.
An additional or upgraded Brake Distribution Valve because of 2 more Front Calipers and Larger MultiPiston Rear Calipers being added.
A bigger Brake Master Cylinder and Fluid Resivour.
Heavy duty Ceramic or Metallic Brake Pads
Heavy duty Vented Brake Rotors
Synthetic Brake Fluid

SUSPENSION SYSTEM UPGRADE:

Bigger Antisway Bars
Bigger Heavy Duty Springs
Nitrogen Gas Pressure Shocks
Bigger Wheels and Tyres for more Contact Patch

Transmission Upgrades (Internal, valving and Friction Discs and Plates)
Additional Transmission Oil Cooler

Rather than a complete and expensive custom conversion, they make 15 passenger vans that are safe and economical.

Something is very wrong here.

Yeah but the Van isn’t A Limousine. It’s the fancy/prestige thing IMO.

You know about the Terrorscum/fibbies informant/911 Connection/car failed Inspection parts... Right ?

Oh ya AND THE 2 MURDERS IN PAKI-land they just found out about...

Plus the limo company being SCRUBBED From fazecrook and goggle?

The next thing will be hitlary is involved somehow.

Very Wrong, Uhmm yeah like 20 Dead and the driver lives.

At some point the passenger must assume some responsibility and assess the safety of a vehicle he/she will ride in. It is important we teach this to our children.

Not saying this will prevent all foolish mishaps, but it will prevent some.
