OMG, Is that the train on the ground? It's a bad picture.

In that case several people got injured.

Our news said a guy fell.

well they have 4 or 5 photos it looks like that car on the ground was on the track in a few photos.. my guess is when they were getting riders off they had to take the car shell off.

How does that happen? I heard 35 people injured. I hope no one is hurt too severley (sp?). Disney needs to start taking better care of their rides.

This is getting serious about Disney. I'm starting to get worried about going to another Disney park.

More news on it...

Quote:
Two trains on the California Screamin' ride at Disney California Adventure bumped into each on Friday evening, leaving at least 60 riders with minor injuries.

The accident occurred just before 6:45 p.m. as one of the trains was coming was ending its ride and hit a second train that was loading passengers, said Michael Simpson, dispatcher for Metronet, which covers the Anaheim Fire Department.

Most of the injured complained of neck and back pain and some were being sent to local hospitals. Simpson said initial reports indicated that there were no serious injuries.

California Screamin' is one of the more popular rides at California Adventure. The ride is shaped too look like a silhouette of Mickey Mouse's head.

No it looks like it's off the track in one of those pictures. Just crashed into eachother.

I love how he promotes the ride after such an accident.

So much for the happiest celebration on earth.

It basically looks like a repeat of the incident at SROS at SFNE back in 2001.

What is wrong with disney? They need to learn safety, or at least figure out how to work their computers.

Just think of how many people were sueing before this accident. That number just trippled.

Disney seems to be haveing some serious safety issues the last 2 years and if this keeps up who knows what might happen next. We could see another accident or more before the year is over.
