Tragedy at Disney World: Monorail Crash

In what is said to be the first deadly incident since the monorails began operation, two monorails crashed leading to the unfortunate death of a disney cast-member.

After the July 4th fireworks at about 2AM EDT, a monorail rammed the back of a parked train at the Transportation and Ticket Center. There were two cast-members and five tourists on the trains at the time. The young man who lost his life was only 21 years old.

The monorail system is shutdown indefinitely.

News stores are here and here.

Just one more note.  There is guest video that has been posted online of the scene right after the incident.  I can think of nothing more heartless and dispicable that a person could do than post this video.  It is not graphic, but it is the poorest of taste – flat out tacky, unfeeling, and self centered.
