A local and very excited for this news!! And a friend just said this was announced at the Lego Robotics Competition (First Lego League) saturday in lakeland... But I can get passes with EZ-Pay for SW & Legoland, that will mean i can afford those monthly instead of all that cash at once for...

I've got a page left to read, but the foggy windows would be a VERY valid point. It was foggy out by all the news reports - my parents said it was VERY foggy on the way in Sunday morning to the MK (coming in the 429, they couldn't see the parks because of fog over them). So if it was a wet...

I didn't hear it all/see if (folding clothes), but a family friend of Pink's driver read a statement from him/family. It was daylight when it was taped. Like i said, i didn't hear it all - but i have Fox Orlando on this morning.

Actually, during an investigation i would expect all parties to be put on leave while it's sorted out (think cops and such). But if it was true that he WAS supposed to be doing more since someone had gone home sick - then he should have been there. Suspension implies they know they screwed...

WESH is reporting THREE suspensions, including the driver of Pink. http://www.wesh.com/news/20003663/detail.html

I just asked my 13yo DD (who, oddly wrote of goal of driving a Monorail the day before the accident) what she thought, and she said the same thing. It would be a Honor to keep purple, and seeing pink would make her mad (hey, she's 13!).

I almost would rather see pink go away, and purple stay as an honor to Austin. Frankly, the sight of EITHER color won't be a happy thing for me, but if i have to see one, i'd want to remember the hero. That would NOT be what i'd want to see right now, but crash dynamics fascinate me and i'd...

The LAPD Officiers that did my CHild Passenger Safety Training classes stated repeatedly, "There is no such thing as an "accident". There is a traffic collision cause by a reason." Very much a hero.

I'm pretty sure this is something i can't watch right this second then. I just started to cry telling DD that part of the reason for not allowing riding in the front right now is to allow the CM's to not have to answer a ton of questions. Let them grieve in private. But thanks for the...

I completely agree. I truly am not sure if i could have not hit the deck - but then again, i'd NOT hit the deck if it was my kids behind me and it meant saving them, so i'm guessing the feeling is the same. I hope too that Disney is gracious and forthcoming in a settlement to the...

:( I can't imagine going thru that... and his family. :( I"m pretty sure that if i had this happen to me in the future - i'd try to "hit the deck".

Such tests would be standard, and i'm pretty sure the other driver would know at that point the other driver died he probably was EXTREMELY shook up and should have been watched for that.

I have a Glow In the Dark t-shirt somewhere (from DL). Wonder where it is? I could use the money! LOL!!

WESH just reported that NHTSA is sending an investigator out - they had been planning to rely on locals to gather the information and send it to them (because of budget concerns was why it wasn't done in the first place). http://www.wesh.com/news/19963457/detail.html Because their stories...

That is what i figured. You'd feel it. ..snipped... I agree based on what i've heard here - if this IS how it played out. Something caused a muck up on the driving side of pink. That person(s) involved will have to live with that for the rest of their lives. The sad fact remains is...
