Third world situation here - where they ignored inspections and orders to remove the vehicle from the road - and then illegally retrofitted the limo to carry over its limit of seats and passengers.

The owner of the limo company should be charged with murder.

He should be in some trouble with 20 counts of manslaughter. They sometimes charge with murder for driving the wrong way on an interstate really drunk, but not sure this is murder legally.

Everyone got very sick at Indian restaurant near me. Unfortunately paid cash, so no record. Health Department report on it was unbelievable. They keep getting closed down by the Health Department and/or getting sued and keep opening under different name. Eventually, it became a Mediterranian restaurant and now it is an Italian restaurant. Almost no on goes there. I will not go to any Indian restaurant after that. Some of them have weird ideas about saving money, which ends up costing more.

There was a Pakistani restaurant owner in England who was charged with manslaughter after someone told him he was allergic to peanuts, but the restaurant used peanut powder anyway because it was a little cheaper than cashew powder.

In this case there’s also the issue of the vehicle being own by someone other than the driver, and of course the driver dying in the crash. If your brakes go out on a car you own and drive, not many places to “share” blame. And of course with 20 dead this accident was sure to (deservedly) get special treatment.

Yeah I’m with you. There’s definitely some driver error. There’s multiple ways to stop a car, gear limiting, parking brakes, going out of gear entirely and coasting, or if completely at a loss hit “soft targets” like bushes.
