wdw monorail crash 07 05 2009

Monorail pink and purple crash aftermath. This video shows how people will come together to help each other in a time of need. Something we need to see more of everyday. One of the the driver's, Austin Wuennenberg, was killed, the other was taken to the hospital for a checkup. It's very, very sad. Our hearts go our to his family and friends.
WKMG Channel 6 has done a great job telling the story of what happened. The monorail system went back online Monday 07-06-2009 afternoon.

Just a note. I was not video'ing. I would not be, I would be helping anyone in danger. Comments shut off.

It still is. I know Disney will fx this and it will never happen again, but I want them to make sure nothing happens anywhere in there parks. Safety is first. No more ride crashes.

[MsHockeygirl16]

I was so sad when I heard this. I was at Disney the day this happened, and I actually almost went on one of the monorails because I haven't been on them in years. It is so saddd ):

really sad but maroon is going to be like purple and coral is pink!

@prokentsful the person who died in monorail purple (driver)

[spiritwingsvirtual]

This does not seems to be handled well, I would have expected the Disney employees to be trying to get the driver out, instead it seems like the employees are asking the park guests to help out.

[ClubpenguinCutie7]

@prokentsful Austin was the monorail driver for purple (as you may know) and also the guy who died (again you may know) Oh and, most people on youtube dont know him in person but they know about him
