Monorail service at Walt Disney World is currently down due to a fatal accident that happened Sunday morning at approximately 2:00 AM near the Ticket & Transportation Center (TTC). Two monorails collided, and the 21-year-old pilot of one of them was killed. The other pilot was not seriously injured, nor were any passengers. You can read the full story here.
Disney spokesman, Mike Griffin, released this brief statement: "Today, we mourn the loss of our fellow cast member. Our hearts go out to his family and to those who have lost a friend and co-worker. The safety of our guests and cast members is always our top priority. The monorail is out of service and we will continue to work closely with law enforcement to determine what happened and the approximate next steps."
Our prayers are with the driver's family, as well as the entire Disney community.
Update: Monorails were back up and running at 2:00 PM on Monday after safety testing.
