I have a sinking feeling that the NTSB report is going to be heartbreaking. I had read a couple news reports, but was still having trouble wrapping my head around the whole thing, and I found a few details that are OSHA as gently caress: It was a 2001 SUV limo that had failed inspection. The same company had four other vehicles taken out of service via inspection previously. The reporting typically says that the limo ran a stop sign and hit a parked pickup, which is technically accurate but kinda misleading. It was heading down a winding rural road and didn't stop at a T in the road, where there was a stop sign. It went through the T at full speed, went across some grass, struck the unoccupied pickup in a parking lot beyond the T, then went into a ditch where it stopped. I can't find reporting saying so, but my impression from news photography is that the stop in the ditch was abrupt and that the limo was still traveling at a high rate of speed when it went in.

It had to be something completely catastrophic for no one in the limo to survive and the photos I saw didnt really show any fire damage. It didnt even happen in that remote of an area so the fact that no one even survived long enough to get to a trauma center is pretty insane. This is a quote possibly from this very thread that comes to mind: quote:There is this remnant from your days as a fetus called the ligamentum arteriosum. It just sits around all day, tethered to your aortic arch, waiting. One day you strike a telephone pole at 75mph, and three impacts happen. The car hits the pole, you hit the airbag at 75mph, and your organs keep going at 75mph until the ligament tears your aorta in half and you die in the span of a few heartbeats.

With 16 people packed in there, you'd expect at least one person to have been sufficiently cushioned by the other bodies to not have the whole vehicle be DOA. If it was a lovely cut-and-weld job that broke in half on impact, though, you'd have bodies scattered around.

Someone suggested maybe a co2 leak inside the condemned hack vehicle and maybe everybody was already passed out inside? But there's also the thing about unrestrained bodies turning into bludgeoning projectiles, it might just be that simple.

Oh. It wasnt built as a limosine, it was an SUV converted into one. i.e. one of these : http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-09/2001-ford-excursion-stretch-limousine.jpg/10354876 also ' Valerie Abeling, the aunt of victim Erin McGowan, said her niece texted a friend that the 17-year-old vehicle "wasn't in very good condition and sounded terrible" before it crashed on the way to a birthday celebration. Another message sent by Ms Abeling's niece said the company had sent the 2001 Ford Excursion stretch limousine to replace a vehicle that had broken down.

I dunno if you know about the range of Australian and British driver safety ads that have been airing for decades, but that one is pretty standard as far as the carnage is concerned. for reasonably realistic results of not wearing a seatbelt/paying attention/driving tired/driving wasted. These all aired during primetime in Australia.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kul2ZIgE7pw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7zhgyawyv8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma1hf87TQ44 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rWMkFzvArE That "Night Shift" one has the best 2-second acting from the driver of the truck at the end. Just gets out of the cab, looks at the Kombi van and immediately knows no-one is getting out of it.

There are "coachbuilders" out there that take basic cars and add all sorts of length and comfort packages, ranging from stuff like Stretch Limos to subtle stuff like Town Car L's. A lot of the reputable ones have been doing it for generations. Then there are the places that do stuff like make stretch SUV limos. These are the sort of places that will turn decommissioned ambulances into mini party busses, and take HMMV's and put a pool in the back.
