    Yes The M curse continues. A "M"onorail in disneyworld Florida killed the driver.
    Lo there do I see my Father.
    Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
    Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
    Lo they do call me.
    They bid me take my place among them.

    And the Monorail was the killer, not the victim.
    Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

    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.

    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.

    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
