Monorail crash at Disney World kills driver

A monorail train at Walt Disney World crashed into the back of another train early today, killing one driver, according to an amusement park spokesman and a witness interviewed by CNN. The witness said one monorail train rammed into the back of a stationary train. According to the witness, a family of six in one train was freed from a damaged car. The witness said the family was shaken but uninjured. full story
 
I'm surprised they don't have safety interlocks that prevent this...but then I'm sure they do have safety systems for it. Nothing is fool-proof.
 
At least they didn't tow the train off Disney property before reporting the crash. Read a book a few years back that didn't paint them in a good light.
