    Well, sir, there's nothing on earth

    Like a genuine,

    Bona fide,

    Electrified,

    Six-car

    Monorail!

    What'd I say?


    Monorail!


    What's it called?


    Monorail!


    That's right! Monorail!


    I hear those things are awfully loud...


    It glides as softly as a cloud.


    Is there a chance the track could bend?


    Not on your life, my Hindu friend.


    What about us brain-dead slobs?


    You'll be given cushy jobs.


    Were you sent here by the devil?


    No, good sir, I'm on the level.


    The ring came off my pudding can.


    Take my pen knife, my good man.

    I swear it's Springfield's only choice...

    Throw up your hands and raise your voice!


    Monorail!


    What's it called?


    Monorail!


    Once again...


    Monorail!

    I used to work for the mouse. 2 things


    1. The Monorail is manually operated. The driver of the train that hit the other should have been paying attention to his board and waching out the humongous front window. This is damn near impossible to have happen.


    2. I'm surprised Disney pronounced someone dead at Disney World. The truth is, we were told that people get pronounced dead on their way to the hospital once outside Disney gates.

    What do you want to bet he was texting or something else stupid that detracted his attention? I only say that because I see that shit every day now in cars. I mean it's just a guess, kind of like a governor gone missing MIGHT be having an illicit affair. Remote chance.

    Wouldn't "Don't hit the monorail in front of you" be a fairly complete synopsis of the monorail operator's job duties? I mean, come on, it's not like to you have to steer it, and you're on an elevated monorail track...what else could there be to watch out for?

    @verticle: Look at Disney's track record over the years covering up incidents at their parks and you will come to the same conclusion that I came to.If you try to control every aspect of your product something is going go wrong when you gloss stuff over when it happens.
