Minor Trash Can Explosion at DisneyLAND in Anaheim

[thomas998]

Since water is required to create an effective rapid explosion dry ice bomb, it is a chemical reaction.

7th grade Chemistry fail.

The law stated "dry ice bomb"... it did not mention whether it had to be one that used water or not. And I assure you that water is not required to make them. Water only causes them to explode sooner. If you truly think that water has to be use then fine, go fill a 2 liter pop bottle with some dry ice and then screw the lid back on... sit it in your house and eventually it will explode. It wont happen in a few minutes, it might take hours or even a day or two... but at some point when the bottle gets enough pressure it will burst and will make as much noise as if you made one with water you just wont have the luxury of knowing when it will happen.

Anyone see the Mice Age article stating these dry ice pranks have been going on at DL since the 1990s and are considered a badge of honor among the ODV CMs - Link to article. The article claims that ODV managers have know about this for decades and have never done anything about it. Seems this CM made the mistake of having his dry ice bomb being onstage.

As I said earlier:

I think he did it on purpose, but probably didn't realize the impact it would make.

I think this practice will come to a screeching halt and unfortunately Disney needs to intervene on the CM's behalf.

There is no sense in ruining the life of this young person because of his sheer stupidity in following a questionable Disneyland tradition.

No way for Disney to do anything to stop the ball moving now. The CM was arrested and because of the over the top zero tolerance on anything even remotely bomb like he is toast. It isn't a matter of Disney dropping any charges, the prosecutor is the only one that could do anything to save him, and given this has become a country where a kid can get expelled for simply saying the word "gun" in a school.... I think the likelihood of the prosecutor doing the right thing is extremely low.

Unfortunately I think you are correct.

It will be up to the courts to decide if the there were mitigating circumstances and they may take that into account at sentencing.
