Yeah... all these responses expressing disbelief really explain the terrible driving on the beltway. I sometimes wonder how people are so careless with their lives to get one car ahead or shave a minute off a trip to the grocery store. I guess I have my answer. [/quote]

I'm a science PhD and it's pretty clear to me why and how all of them could be dead after that type of impact.

Truly awful, but not surprising.[/quote]

Please elaborate.[/quote]

Geez. Do you really not know this? None of them were wearing seatbelts. When the limo crashed they became 18 100lb+ projectiles moving 60+ MPH towards the front of the limo, where they hit each other and the walls. [/quote]

And skulls, necks and spines aren't exactly made of steel.[/quote]

Plus the limo hit the suv.  If it hadn’t hit another car and rolled into the ditch b/c it was going too fast to make the turn at the stop sign, there might have been a different story.[/quote]

Yeah, in this particular accident I'd probably expect to see decapitations. Plus there would have been broken glass from bottles and glasses flying around cutting people, since normally people are drinking in party limos.

All in all, a horrifying sight for the first responders  :( [/quote]

My guess is more subdural hematomas vs. decapitations since the limo itself was basically in one piece.  Still horrible.[/quote]
