Driver killed in Disney monorail crash

"If you don't think it's newsworthy, don't click on it or bother to read it."

Are we reinventing the way this site works here or what?
:-D

a) To know whether it's newsworthy or not, you need to read it. :-D
b) If i don't think it's newsworthy, i vote it down. And vice versa.

That was a no brainer, wasn't it.

That's a bummer.

Yes, car crashes occur all the time and that is also unfortunate. But people do still drive them, so I don't believe this accident will frighten most folks away from the monorail. I think this story made headlines because the track record for safety on those things was pretty clean until now.

If you don't think it's newsworthy, don't click on it or bother to read it.

I do not approve.

if i remember correctly there is a seat for people to sit in the drivers compartment that would scare the crap of me if i saw a collision about to happen

That's my favorite ride too. Well, now I stay in the hotel.

Meanwhile car accidents are constantly occurring and no one is afraid to drive still. People, rail systems are far safer than automobiles, your 11 times more likely to be in a car accident than a rail accident.

I literally just got back from Disney World.

it's a small world after all

I rode that Monorail as a child.

Scary.

wow...i work at the hilton at downtown disney and a guest asked me what would be an alternate route other than the monorail to get to the park and see th e fireworks last night, they had mentioned that the monorail was having problems all day but disney employees were telling people not to worry about it because the monorail is the safest thing at the park, back to the story...i told them to take the bus goin to the contemporary hotel or the polynesian hotel and just watch the fireworks there...something told me that something crazy was goin to happen last night...people we need to wake up and see whats goin....more and more people are goin to pop up dead or missing, its time...

"Can you imagine what it would be like if one of these things crashed????"

-My Dad on Disney Monorail in 2000 / Nostradamus?

how does an accident happen on something so scheduled and repetitive?
much less, a fatal one?

idk about you guys but i'm really not trusting trains these days (with the DC crash just the other day, and now this)

well what do you want to live for ever ????????????????

@neixannd on twitter says "can you believe it??"

@kurtis_marsh on twitter says "Wow, crash at Disneyworld: (via @bhaddad). #WTF this is the model for all Florida light rail systems oh no @kstpete"
