Damn. Among all the tragedy, one family is burying four daughters and another is burying two sons.

Totally FUBAR.

When I heard that it crashed into a restaurant I figured most of the casualties would not have been inside the limo. That thing had to be flying out of control. and its huge and heavy. Incapacitated driver? Screwed up intersection?

Celebration instantly turned into tragedy. Way too many unanswered questions. No reports of any extreme muslem religious claims before impact? Wanna blame it on something but I’m just praying.
