Fire in SSE?

[misterID]

If it was just smoke it seems like they'd evacuate everyone until they found the source. It doesn't have to be a fire. With all the electrical stuff in that building, probably old electrical stuff and the dust, this isn't real shocking.

WOFL-TV's Bob Frier mentioned it on his (apparent) Twitter stream. @bfrier -- "two possible breakers... fire and evacuation at Spaceship Earth at Epcot and man pulled alive from rubble in Haiti." ... so maybe WOFL will grab some info on it. Amy Kaufeldt too (http://twitter.com/amykaufeldt/statuses/8827990417) Myfoxorlando.com has nothing yet though.

Good point, but it's a reasonable point for concern.

Well, would you rather not know at all? :lol:

No, but let's face it, having one guy tweet, then having a second person tweet, then having a third person tweet that the first person's tweet was incorrect, but then tweeter #4 steps in saying that tweeter #2.......:brick:

I'd need a drink after all of that.....

An article faulting everyone for spreading rumors on Twitter, while all the "facts" in the article are also gathered from Twitter? :brick:

Another reason why Twitter should just be banned LOL.

Completely agree. I hate the thing.

Eh, for the MOST part, the "rumors" on there were fairly responsible. I only saw one or two "OH MY GOD EPCOT IS BURNING!" tweets. Most faithfully repeated and kept the "certainty" of it in check.

Yeah, and most of the people who were Tweeting were from our site. :lol:

So far nothing in the Orlando media. Let's not let it get totally blown out of proportion till we know the facts.

Pfft...and you call yourself a member of the media.:lol:

Good that all is well!

I love twitter. I don't think today was any kind of an issue. The entire thing was dealt with in speculation, not certainty. There is no reason for everyone to get in a fuss and start shouting HOAX! It's just one of those things where someone hears it from someone else, and it continues. SSE did go down but has since reopened, however, do not know the specifics on what happened.

 

[Master Yoda]

"Keeping your family safe!"

Love that phrase. It ranks right up there with "Presenting both side of the issue!":lol:

 

[krankenstein]

Now, what did we learn....

:lookaroun :lol:

 

[EpcotServo]

The reports that the reports were false were false because the report that the whole thing is false isn't false.





Oh, and I hate it when people who hate Twitter posit that comment on a Forum, something that is EXACTLY THE SAME AS TWITTER




YOU JUST IRONY'ED YO' SELF

Hey come on with all WDW's people in Disney we would know if something went wrong first. That's why I always check here to get the lastest news....

Looks like the article has been reworded to be a little less accusatory after some intervention by at least one person I know

would be terrible if the descent burnt down :lookaroun

For me that would be good. Kidding.
