Bride & Grits Limo Fire Cause Revealed! (Blown Air Shocks)
Limo Fire That Killed Bride And Four Friends Given Mechanical Cause

TLDR: Blown air shocks + Bridal party in the back + gas tank failure due to dragging = poof.
Still seem like a good idea?

I'm guessing that they were also poorly maintained.
Poorly maintained spring/strut will result in a bouncy ride.
Poorly maintained air suspension will result in full droop and bounce.
So if you want air suspension, you gotta maintain it better.

Indian's probably own that limo. So not surprised they didn't maintain it, if that's the case.
Also not surprised the driver didn't do anything to help the women inside. Brake the windows bro... Drag them through the window at the front of the limo. DO SOMETHING!
Sometimes I hate my kind... Reminds me a lot of those brothers from the zoo mauling.

How ironic though when Kron4 aired that cell phone video the passer by driver just happened to be listening to "This girl is on fire" playing in the background. It was edited out later.

The driver and the company are screwed no doubt.
Over max. Poorly maintained vehicle. Lack of proper safety equipment. Etc.
The gas tank is double walled and tucked up. For it to puncture and blow like that you're talking about a long term issue that should have been caught by tech BEFORE it was rented out.
