Sorry @wesh I find your reporting inconsiderate and misleading.
@mlanger all the local media throws a tizzy if anyone gets hurt at Disney. It's bigger than many cities! Stuff happens.

@MouseComedy Funded with the profits of that movie.
Complete explanation of monorail crash: http://thedisneyblog.com/2009...
@MPMark it could if they set it up to.
@MPMark pink would not have needed to hold mapo to get through the switch.

Having a stroller in their party saved the guests' lives. They would have likely been up front otherwise.
I did not know the monorail driver. The system is completely safe.

Disney needs to stop being cheap and take care of their monorail system. MAPO should not have failed catastrophically.
