I lived in downtown Toronto back in the late 70's. The Hotel Toronto (?) was just across the street from us and there was some kind of meeting of the Canadian Prime Minister and numerous foreign dignitaries. We joined the crowd to watch the arrival. A whole train of Suburbans with Secret Service agents and three or four limousines sandwiched between them thundered down Queen St. towards the hotel at high speed to avoid any problems. The first Suburban skidded to a stop in front of the hotel, the following Suburban smashed into the back of it followed by every other vehicle in the train smashing into the car in front. The Keystone Cops could have done no better. The Prime Minister and other dignitaries disembarked as if nothing had happened while the drivers surveyed the carnage.
