This is more of a news story than most Neatorama posts are, but it's a little tacky to post it as "another example of a Disney death". The driver's body is not yet in the ground.

It is a coincidence, you must admit. I think this may have been posted since just a few days earlier the site posted the story of Disneyland accidental deaths. It is a coincidence, you must admit.

Not that it's not interesting. It's just more newsy in nature. Sorry, but this one's just not what I expected to see here. Not that it's not interesting. It's just more newsy in nature.

Neotorama is for anything interesting or out of the ordinary. I find this very neat, sad but neat. Why does neat have to always be positive? Oh neato, what a strange fluke! I wonder what could have gone wrong. Maybe they should change it to weird-o-rama. Then things could get posted without any complaints. ;) Not particularly ranting at people commenting here but every time something 'negative' is posted people whine. Lordy people, quit whining.

The tracks are set out in grids or sections. These grids are X number of feet long. ( he didn't elaborate) and are run by computers. If another monorail enters the same grid as another, the current to that grid is supposed to shut off, preventing exactly what happened last night. As it was very late (2am) there is the possibility that the operators turned the computer control of the grids off so as to operate the track cleaners and maintenance trains. I doubt we will ever really know what happened. Disney isn't known for their openness about park operations and such.
