In response to message posted by jerrib:Thanks Jerri... According to the press accounts they are used regularly for church travel, college athletics travel, and transportation from airports to hotels, so this something EVERYONE should be concerned about...

In response to message posted by hermanm:Like Jerri, I too read this a while back. I totally agree with you, Maggie, I think that everyone should be concerned about this issue. I also think the transportation board needs to do further investigations as from 1992 to 1997 I use to go to Second Baptist Church Pasadena and I use to frequently use their Church vans to get to Church. Their church vans were late 70's models and one early 1990 model. I noticed quite frequently in all models when the van was full it seemed like when we would make corners and so forth that it would be very easy
for it to roll over. You could definitely tell there was a shift of the weight. This is also what many cities use for public transportation and airport shuttles. So it definitely needs to be seriously looked into. Thanks for bringing to everyone's attention. This is a very good article.

On June 10, 2001 a van rollover ocurred killing 2 men. One of those was my nephew. Our family has started a petition drive to get these vans investigaged. They continue to cause serious injury and death, and years of sorrow and grief. Our website is: www.michaeldeanvasquez.com-- posted by kbravo

There is so much information on the danger of these vans but yet I see them on the road, loaded to capacity. "For The Love Of Michael" I urge all of you to please help to spread the news to everyone before another human life is lost. My only son was killed on June 10, 2001. These vans are "rolling coffins."
