Catastrophic Failure

De: Times Union
  • Resumen

  • The limousine crash that killed 20 people in rural upstate New York on Oct. 6, 2018, remains one of the deadliest ground transportation disasters in United States history. Investigators determined that the brakes failed on the 2001 Ford Excursion stretch limousine as it barreled down a hill at 100 miles per hour, carrying 17 friends on their way to a 30th birthday party. It plowed into the parking lot of a busy restaurant and slammed into a ditch. All passengers, the driver and two bystanders perished. But brake failure was only the part of the story. Times Union reporter Larry Rulison has spent the last five years unraveling a complex web of cause and effect that revealed an astonishing chain of events leading up to the crash. A string of failed state inspections. A web of lies. An FBI informant with a shady past. It's a story of tragedy and loss. Negligence and consequence. But more than that, it's a story of catastrophic failure. Host Jessica Marshall and reporter Larry Rulison dig deep into the story of the Schoharie limo crash. How it happened. Why it happened. And how it could have been prevented. The narrative and the details may be upsetting or disturbing at times. Please listen with care.
