Wow, that is a bit disturbing that this happened so close to the Monorail crash... Maybe next a boat will sink on Pirates of the Caribbean...
Of course, it means waist deep in filthy, chlorinated water with empty bottles that someone would try to get as souvenirs...Wow, that is a bit disturbing that this happened so close to the Monorail crash... Maybe next a boat will sink on Pirates of the Caribbean...
I was there around 40mins after the crash and here is a pic

To the person who mentioned double deckers these can't be used as far as im aware due to the low height of overpass roads on property.
Everything you want to know about their safety record can be found here:

Nothing major??? How can you say that. This incident is obviously proof that WDW management is trying to rule the world through sacrificing safety and quality whenever and wherever possible.
This makes no sense. It's like saying the US Government is at fault because someone ran a red light and hit someone.
How exactly does an individual driver rear-ending another vehicle by accident prove that WDW Management is sacrificing safety?
Even the recent monorail accident I believe has no relation to WDW management's stance on safety because these accidents were the results of individuals, not WDW Management.
I just don't see how you can connect the dots between these.
How'd you manage the picture from such a high view point? Hoverboard?
I read in MSNBC this AM that the first driver is being ticketed for careless driving. I do not know why since they were slowing to merge. I would have thought the second driver would have been ticketed.
Here is the article link.

technically, the buses have had multiple issues this year, including a fatal accident a few months ago....
i think that the transportation issue at wdw has hit a national crisis level. We need a czar appointed and congressional hearings asap. Maybe even a bailout or something.![]()
But it is unusual for such a number of accidents in a span of a few months.Accidents happen all the time. Disney World isn't exempt because it's the most magical place on earth, or something like that. I love DisneyWorld, but I certainly don't expect to spend my vacation in a protective bubble. I'm glad no one was seriously hurt.

I was wondering the same thing. I thought by default the 2nd driver is always at fault. Maybe the 1st driver had their own lane so that didn't need to slow down??
I heard two people actually bumped into one another while in line for Soaring.One person is said to have suffered hurt feelings.
How come it's not on the news? :shrug:
"One bus rear-ended another bus that was slowing down to merge where World Drive narrows to one lane, FHP said. The driver of the first bus will be ticketed with careless driving."
I think its a case of a poorly-worded sentence. By driver of the "first bus", I think they mean the first bus referred to in the previous sentence, which would have been the second bus in line. (Now I hope I'm making sense!)
