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...
Unless a souvenir considered would be a Tetanus shot...

How'd you manage the picture from such a high view point? Hoverboard?

This doesn't appear to include passenger vehicles/drivers.
According to the story, it was from the monorail. I am impressed they were able to get a clear shot though with it moving.
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??

Was that accident right after the water bridge during spring break?

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.

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.

But it is unusual for such a number of accidents in a span of a few months.
Once you have one big accident it causes you to think about all the little ones. I'm sure that the Orlando media would have pounced on the bus story regardless, but I'm not sure that such a big deal would have been made of it if it weren't for the monorail crash. :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!)

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:

I don't know how quickly FL gets out accident reports, but usually, the vehicles are numbered. Perhaps the "first bus" was a reference by the reporter to Bus #1 on an accident report/information from law enforcement? :shrug: Either way, poorly worded sentence that didn't make sense to me at first read, either.
I agree with a PP - this wouldn't be news if the monorail accident hadn't just recently happened.

My bus went past as they were getting the tow truck in place and the bus that did the rear ending didn't have much of a windshield left. Must have been 20+ emergency vehicles there.

True enough. Perhaps it can be attributed to stress in general. Disney World is very high-stress for those hard-working employees. God Bless Them!
