Last thing you expect in a limo is a fatal crash. Bad luck.

Was he the guy who reported on the faked fires on the Chevy pickup side impact story back in (iirc) the ‘90s?
I’ve had no use for 60 Minutes since then.

Ah. I thought it was a cab (like a Yellow Cab)
Livery cab would be a little better I expect.

He was in a car... (town car).

I’m sorry to hear Simon died in an automobile accident.
But to your point, I quit watching in the ‘90s and I think everyone but Steve Kroft was eligible to draw on Social Security.
After after the NorKs, Cubans, Soviets, and ChiComs, American Network News anchors cling to power the longest.

Yes, Scott Pelley broke into the commercials at the end of Criminals Minds to give a special report on Simon’s death. He mentioned that Simon and his production crew were held captive in Iraq for 44 days.

I remember that self hating Jew. Rabbi Meir Kahane, zt"l, formed Jews against [Jesse] Jackson to stand up to the black antisemite and Bob Simon took great offense at the leader of the event for criticizing that antisemite. In fairness to the late Mr. Simon, self haters such as himself are as dangerous or more dangerous than the antisemites because the antisemites can point to these kapo types as an excuse.

As a self hating Jew, he is as dangerous as antisemites such as Jesse Jackson. He is the one the Jew haters point to when they lie and say they're not antisemitic. Mr. Simon (who I saw personally) can rot in hell.

You’re right to buckle up regardless of whether it’s legally required. Just remember General Patton who was mortally injured in a car accident that happened at about 20 m.p.h. when he wasn’t wearing a seat belt, none being available for cars in 1945 or 1946.
To: BradyLS
At one time 60 Minutes was considered a top notch investigative news magazine which always had a segment on some famous Hollywood star. When I say, “star,” I mean some Hollywood greats who actually knew how to act back in the day when Hollywood movies were decent, not the pornographic/violent krap released today. The show was informative and entertaining.
I haven't watched in years. True actors died off and the fossils who hosted the show started to espouse liberal garbage. The investigations turned into witch hunts aimed primarily at conservative figures.
But be that as it may — rest in peace, Mr.Simon and may God give comfort to your family and friends.

Wasnt there a politician who wants to get rid of the livery cabs ?
DeBlasio wants to get rid of the horse drawn carriages in and around Central Park.

Wasnt he captured by the Iraqis during Desert Storm or something?He and another reporter were trolling the desert for action during the first Iraq war, without an escort, and got more than they asked for.
She was raped, and so was Bob.

I don’t live in NY but I can imagine how sticky and dirty a cab’s seat belt would be.

Livery cabs are only allowed to pick up passengers that ‘call’ them. Sort of like a car service. A taxi is licensed to pick up passengers on any street at any time. Taxi’s can cruise for fairs, liveries can not, they must be called.

I remember when he was interviewed after his rescue how he at least had a very bitter and dead on appraisal of his captors and what they thought of him and his being Jewish...I vaguely remember him thinking that his captors were cockroaches.
Condolences to the family.
