By Santa Claus

Dec. 19th, 2007 -- The maintenance chief at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom has placed blame for the accident on Superman Tower of Power squarely in Intamin’s lap.

John Schmidt said in a deposition that the Intamin AG-built drop ride should have been designed with an auto shutoff in case a cable broke.

Kaitlyn Lasitter, the fourteen-year-old that had her feet severed in the accident had one of her feet reattached and recently began walking with a prosthetic leg.
