Two monorail trains crashed early Sunday morning in the Magic Kingdom section of Walt Disney World, killing one train's operator, emergency officials said.The transit system, which shuttles thousands of visitors around the sprawling resort each day, was shut down while authorities investigated the holiday weekend wreck.
The monorail operator died at the scene of the crash, which happened around 2 a.m., said Bo Jones, deputy chief for Reedy Creek Fire Department. The other train operator was not injured, but was taken to a hospital because he was emotionally shaken. Jones said five park guests were treated at the scene, though the Orange County Sheriff's office said six were treated.

YIKES!
I'm going to Disney world in a few weeks... maybe I will avoid the monorail. :-o
Monorail should be fine. Just don't drink the water from the It's A Small World After All ride.
I'll be sure to import NYC tap water to drink for the duration of my trip!
