The friend, Melissa Healey, 33, who had been the maid of honor at Ms. McGowan’s wedding this past summer, shared the texts with The New York Times. “The motor is making everyone deaf,” wrote Ms. McGowan, before Ms. Healey asked from where they rented the car. Ms. McGowan responded that she wasn’t sure, but then added, “When we get to brewery we will all b deaf.” |

The front is basically gone from what looks like the 5th or 6th window from the rear to me.  Attached File |

One of the bodies of the pedestrians.
 Witnesses described commotion as first responders broke windows in an attempt to rescue victims. "I heard some screaming. It looked serious because people were running back and forth," local resident Bridey Finegan told WNYT NewsChannel 13. "That limo was coming down that hill probably over 60 miles per hour," Jessica Kirby, manager of the Apple Barrel Country Store, told the New York Times. Bill Waterson, who lives nearby, said he was stunned by the sight of the wreckage. "All the car parts, door panels covered in blood still on the ground and everything. It was bad," he said. "I'm 68-years-old, I've never seen so much destruction." |

As someone who's lost a brake line due to corrosion...there is no warning. You can drive around normally dry as a bone and stopping well..until you really need to stomp on them...that's when you find the rusty spots. In GMs it's almost always in the hangers that support the line, you literally cannot see the bad spot until you take it out of the hanger. I've never had an inspection failed for brake lines. More than likely the limo failed due to a hole in the exhaust, just given the text messages from passengers. One thing to note: NYS inspection for normal passenger vehicles/light commercial (pickups) does not requires your air bag or ABS/traction control/stability control to be functioning properly in order to pass. You can have the dash lit up like a Christmas tree with SRS/ABS alarms and it will pass every time. I'm not sure if livery vehicles have different standards. Can't have emissions codes, automatic fail. |

Former terrorist opens limo service in the middle of nowhere / upstate NY.
Handy way to transport incoming illegals from Canada to NYC or Islamberg (in the Catskills, IIRC) Also limos much less likely to draw scrutiny in NYC than a Ryder rental like the WTC I bombing. |

If you look at the 2 pictures it appears that nearly 50% of the limousine is missing. In the video at the bottom of pg 6, the NTSB guy says the engine is pushed into the drivers compartment. It also shows another second or two of them pulling the wreck out of the ditch. You can see a little more of the mangled front section. The vehicle didn't break in half. The front 25% accordioned into the next 25%. They'll be pulling the driver out of that with tweezers. |
