Way to Go, CRASH!

If you've been to Walt Disney World, as my aunt Linda as her kids did a few weeks ago, then chances are that you're familiar with the monorail system that transports visitors between the 6 theme/water parks that make up WDW, those being the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Blizzard Beach, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Typhoon Lagoon. Well, over this past 4th of July weekend, there was an accident invloving that monorail system. RideAccidents.com, along with the Orlando Sentinel, is reporting that two trains on that monorail collided, killing the operator of one of those trains. The Sentinel's story about the accident also has the 911 call about the wreck, along with some pictures of Disney World's monorail. I also have this YouTube video of the accident right here for you to see.

Accidents are nothing new to Disney's theme parks. The aforementioned RideAccidents.com has a special section concerning accidents at WDW's sister park, Disneyland, over in California. Given this, I wonder is something is going to come out of this accident.
