It was supposed to be a birthday celebration at an upstate New York brewery when 17 young friends hired a bus for a trip to a brewery. At the last minute, a 2001 Ford Excursion stretch limousine was substituted when the bus was not available.
When the limousine barreled through a stop sign in Schoharie, hit a parked car at 60 miles per hour and slammed into a ravine, all 17 passengers and the 53-year old driver were killed as well as two pedestrians.
Tragically, the victims included four sisters and two brothers. There were two newlywed couples and parents of young children among the fatalities.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed that this was the deadliest U.S. accident in 9 years.
