Hearing news of a monorail crash today.

First told to be by a CM seeing reports on Twitter.

Someone on the DIS posted that their WDW bus driver told them there was a bad accident involving the monorail, and so he came to the DIS looking for details.

Well, if a bus driver is reporting it...

I'll ask around.... This is the first I've heard of anything.

If there was an ambulance, could just be a medical emergency with someone on the monorail....or something completely unrelated. Again, if this were actually a monorail accident (which seems almost impossible if really at the Contemporary), there would be photos and more talk online already.

They covered up the last crash, maybe they're trying for best 2 out of 3

Wasn't express down anyway for automation tests?

************** (twitter) is reporting there was an accident during the test

I guess that would make a bit more sense. Still unfortunate if true and hopefully everyone is okay.

Reports on another site are saying it is the Express involved during a planned shutdown.

I think its too soon to jump to any conclusions. We have no information other than there's some incident going on.

Monorail Coral on Express hit "something". That's what I know so far. Nose is damaged.

From Scott Gustin, a National Editor at Tribune Broadcasting: "Talked to Disney. “Incident” happened during planned downtime for monorail. Tractor made contact with monorail during towing. No injuries."

If that is what happened, I'm shaking my head.

It wouldn't be the first time.

I read the same thing Dave saw.

Unfortunate for the monorail system once again, but very glad to see it isn't serious.

How dare you site such sources. You're supposed to just say "Overheard on the twittersphere" And we'll take it as lore.

Tweets like this didn't help...

Nooooooope. At least it was fairly insignificant.
