Here is a rundown of the victims. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/limo-crash-victims-identified-schoharie-new-york-2018-10-09/

A couple of tech engineers and a couple low level political types. Otherwise, nothing too interesting unless someone knew something they shouldn't.

That being said, I'm not sure how much we should trust the news on this as the original reports said they were a wedding party on the way to a reception. They even had an uncle say he was supposed to go to the wedding, but went hunting with his son instead. I can't find the articles from Sunday with this info though.

Just posted the following to another thread on the same topic:

Just found this:

"• Axel’s brother, Rich Steenburg, was also killed and is survived by his 10-year-old daughter and 14-year-old stepson. The Steenburg brothers both worked for GlobalFoundries, which produces semiconductors."

Found this abotu globalfoundries - https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/08/27/globalfoundries_scuttles_7nm/

hmm.

edit 3:

Holy fuck, they didn't just work there, they were the co-founders - https://scallywagandvagabond.com/2018/10/amy-axel-steenburg-schoharie-wedding-limo-crash-victims/

So atm we have:

Founders of a business 5.5 billion USD in revenue in 2016, that just stopped making the 7nm chips, die together in a freak 'party bus' accident... lol why were these what must of been billionaires riding in a fucking 20 year old limo?

A call to all autists, help me out here

edit: Above is the only source I can find for them being the founders, tbh it wouldn't make much sense as they were only early 30s, they would of been very early - mid 20s when the company was founded. but not impossible.

It's probably a good idea to point out that sometimes the good guys covertly whack people too.

Maybe these guys, were not, 'good guys'.

Without further info, I agree, it is impossible to know whether to mourn or be grateful for the 'hit'.
