12: The Bay Area Limo Fire

Disaster

A white stretch limo is usually something that marks happiness. A prom. A bachelorette party. In this case celebrating a wedding. According to CNN, “Nine Passengers were traveling in the Lincoln as it headed across the San Francisco Bay along the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge that Saturday night.” Things seemed fine at first. No signs of trouble. At one point one of the women riding in the limousine knocks on the limousine driver's window and he can make out that she said the word, “smoke”. He assumes she’s asking to bum a cigarette. He informs her he doesn’t have any. But the woman wasn’t asking for a cigarette. The limo was on fire.
