And not that long after the neatorama post on the dark side of Disney. http://www.neatorama.com/2009/06/30/the-dark-side-of-disney/ OMG, Neato-premonition? mayyybeeee...
I talked to some of the monorail operators many years ago and my understanding of the monorails is this. 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.
Lordy people, quit whining. 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.
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.
While I didn't think the previous post about Disney deaths was neat, there was a certain distance in time from its list of gruesome deaths. this was enough to make it an article of curiosity to some people.
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.
