Monorail crash kills one in Disneyland "M"

[Seeker]

Yes The M curse continues. A "M"onorail in disneyworld Florida killed the driver.

Monorails don't kill people....people driving monorails kill people :wink:

[thunderbolt]

And the Monorail was the killer, not the victim.

Disney World.

The fatality was the one of the Conductors. No one else was hurt.

First monorail death in 38 years of operation. Considering that on a typical day, 150,000 people ride the monorails, that is an astounding safety record that was just ended.

Walt Disney World monorail crash kills conductor, no passengers were hurt (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/us_world/2009/07/05/2009-07-05_disney_monorail_crash_kills_conductor.html)

I read that earlier. That is absoltely crazy. To Think my son loves riding on the Monorail when go to Disney. He has a fascination with trains so this is so close to them for him. Very scary this happened.

yeah it's scary, I don't know about you guys but i always think of Disney as one of these super safe places, I know people have died there but I still see how hard they work to try and make it as safe as possible

I have a couple of friends who worked there

Seriously, as far as the Monorail is concerned:

38 years X 360 days(counting for Holidays?) X 150,000 (passengers per day) with no fatalities is super-safe. That's over 2 Billion passengers.

I don't think of sleep as being remotely close to being that safe.:smiley1:

yeah I agree,

it's just that in the past few years a few people have died at Disney, a kid on the Mission space ride and one on the Thunder mountain and now this...it's adding up

The odd thing about that is what could it possibly crash into? Isn't it just one train on a loop track about 15 feet above the ground? Did he have to brake for singing and dancing animals? Was Dumbo somehow involved? Get Disney CSI on the phone!

I'm pretty sure there's more then one

[thunderbolt]

Yep, it hit another train. The best part is people are so frickin' stupid that they won't use the monorail if they have heard about this. No monorail lines!!!!
