5 dead in limo crash on SM bridge

[mike23w]

But one extra passenger did not make an appreciable difference in that fire.

unless that extra person was the one that died.

That's what their permit said was the limit for that particular vehicle.

10-4

Several reports. But one extra passenger did not make an appreciable difference in that fire.

No, really, it's a violation, they'll get hosed for it...

But I don't think having 9 passengers instead of 8 is what caused this fire, or the deaths.

"Nobody helping" title comment from someone who has never stood next to a carfire

My brother and sister-in-law were at the scene a few weeks back on Hwy 1 in Sonoma where two died in a burning Ferrari. Everyone had to stand and watch, there was nothing anyone could do. He was saying that you couldn't even get close.

Better if it is. Would suck if the last gal to cram herself into the limo is one that got out.

I never meant to imply that it wasn't a violation, only that one extra body did not make much of a difference in the cause of the fire. Maybe one less body, maybe not.

How long before some politician calls for sprinkler systems in every limo and bus?

 

[mean dad]

At least a freakin emergency exit, ala pop-out windows.

Seriously.

It's a busy and mechanized society and along with that comes simple accidents with tragic results. Sometimes crappy things just happen.

Is smoking permitted in a limo?
I've only been in one once and never bothered to check since I don't smoke.

 

[SteelerFanatic]

the only thing I can think of is the will of the women that made it.

You know they are fighters. I bet they would be wild in the sack.

I have never been in one that smelled like cig's or seen anyone smoke in them.

Must be a slow news day.

"San Mateo County firefighters and California Highway Patrol personnel investigate the scene of a limousine fire on the westbound side of the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge in Foster City, Calif., on Saturday, May 4, 2013. Five people died when they were trapped in the limo that caught fire as they were traveling, and four others and the driver were able to escape,"

They just ruled it a mechanical and are not pressing charges against the driver.

But yeah dude

And my post thanking the Sink for straightening this news item out...disappeared ...
I suspect the Government has it filed in their data base though.
