I’ve seen a witness quoted she thought that the limo had to have been going in excess of 60 MPH. Aftermarket stretch limos aren’t required to have side air bags. Occupants in the back aren’t required to buckle up. NYS had a bad stretch limo accident in 2015, IIRC, Cuomo, Schumer, Obama did nothing about regulating these types of vehicles.

If the vehicle was going that fast, nobody in the back was buckled, there were no airbags, I’m not surprised the death toll was so high.

As for what caused it, I’m wondering if rhe driver was impaired, either by drugs or a medical event, or if he vehicle’s brakes failed.

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

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

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.
