Does Pierce still offer "all steer" as an option? I believe they had a series of BAD accidents due to malfunctioning "all steer" components. One of the bad ones was a demo tower enroute to a fire show and rolled several times when the rear end turned on its own while the apparatus was travelling a freeway speeds. They apparatus was obliterated. They initially faulted tires blowing out but later recanted when it was determined that the "all steer" was in fact the cause.
Anyone have any other details?
