At 2am Sunday morning, Reedy Creek Emergency Services responded to a call at the Ticket and Transportation Center at the Magic Kingdom. Two monorails collided. 8 people were evaluated total following the crash. One monorail driver was killed. The other driver is fine physically. There were 5 to 6 guests on the monorail at the time of the crash. Disney World Public Relations tells Local 6 that they will release more information later this morning. They are on scene right now gathering information about the incident.

A witness tells Local 6 that he heard a huge crashing noise when the monorails collided. He was able to get pictures and video of frazzled guests walking off the train.

Another report indicates that a moving pink train hit a stationary purple train.

Local 6 has obtained dramatic pictures from the scene of the crash. Stay with Local 6 for more information about this crash.

    Texting anyone?

    Or was it another ‘computer error’?

    Pat, didn’t you have story about a Polish (?) young man who took over the computer network controlling trains somewhere in Russia or somewhere so he could ‘play’ trains?

    Is this a stealth cyber attack, perhaps?

    Or just CID – Cellphone Induced Disoreder

    They have a system in place that will not allow 2 trams to collide. It either broke ( but it is tested twice a day) or it was overridden. This should have never happen.
