Florida: Disney Train Driver Dies - Theme Park Crash

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Two monorail trains crashed early Sunday morning in the Magic Kingdom section of Walt Disney World, killing one train's operator, emergency officials said.

The transit system, which shuttles thousands of visitors around the sprawling resort each day, was shut down while authorities investigated the holiday weekend wreck.

The monorail operator died at the scene of the crash, which happened around 2 a.m., said Bo Jones, deputy chief for Reedy Creek Fire Department. The other train operator was not injured, but was taken to a hospital because he was emotionally shaken. Five park guests were treated at the scene.

The Monorail in Anaheim California has a better risk than Orlando because there on the Earthquake area and if the Earthquake happen in anaheim, the monorail would loose power, be stuck and the Track would collap.

Mercy! How did this happen??? Unfortunately, anything man made is prone to failure. I've often wondered how our nuclear missiles never launch due to some freakish malfunction.
