Title: We used to do this back in the day but guess we just got lucky, 13 dead

I remembered we can pack like 20 people in a Buick and go to the drive-in movie theater because they charge by the car, not per person.

What a tragedy! A blink of the eyes and these lives are gone forever. Surprisingly, any survivor in a car to semi truck collision is a good thing. I always stay clear of these big trucks unless I’m passing. I’m still scratching my head how they fitted 25 people in that little suv.

It's a "tragedy" indeed. Back in the 80s we were kids so we didn't know any better and seatbelt wasn't required yet.

"how they fitted 25 people"?

I know the first year first gen Expedition only has enough seats for 5-6 adults but it also has good cargo space overall so I'm sure they've found a way to fit 25 people in it.

Kind of reminds me of this...very unsafe but for some folks but it's more of a necessity for them..where it's more of a hobby here for most of us.. ???:
