Minor Trash Can Explosion at DisneyLAND in Anaheim

The simple security solution is to use thermographic or infrared cameras at security checkpoints and around the park.Dryice would stick out like a sore thumb. Cameras around the parks and backstage would also alert security if there were any dry ice spills from food carts or other sources.
I can see Disney not allowing anyone to bring any food or drink in from the outside after this.
Everything needed to do this (dry ice, water and a plastic bottle) is available inside the parks.

Kid makes a loud bang in a garbage can, he is arrested and held for a million dollars. Two guys joyride in a golf cart, they're arrested and charged with Grand Theft.

Guy attacks a little girl, they pay to fly him to India.

I do not understand Disney at all.

I think you are assuming that "Disney" is some sort of giant borg-like entity where all the strings are pulled in unison from a central dramatically-lit command center in a Burbank bunker. :)

That's not actually the case. Nor is it the case with any big company or organization. It's just people doing their jobs as best they can under a basic set of rules, and sometimes they make mistakes and sometimes they get it right.

I don't know the situation behind the Cruise Line thing with the Indian guy, nor do I really care as I'm not a Cruise Line fan. But to say "Disney" purposely decides en masse how to react to every nuance of every daily incident is either painting with a very, very broad brush about two miles wide, or is simply a lack of understanding of how any large company or organization works day to day.

Thank god no one was injured. What really es me off is that this is likely some stupid punk kid trying to be cool/funny. As weird as it sounds, they make me angrier than terrorists. At least terrorists are trying to make a political (if evil) point. These types of pranks are just people being morons and potential causing injuries by "accident."

Sorry, vent over.
I kinda understand where you are coming from, but ultimately I think that's the wrong attitude. Intentionally causing harm is worse than accidentally causing harm under every system of law I know, and I think that's right. Put another way, if I found out the CM involved in this story had set out to raise awareness for melting ice caps or whatever, it wouldn't raise my opinion of him. I think the larger point to make to "the youth" is that being an idiot could result in just as much pain and misery as terrorism.

Same basic principal as diet coke and mentos, but with a lot more punch. The dry ice (solid CO2) rapidly turns to gas when you add a little water and will make a sealed plastic bottle explode.



The kids in my neighborhood did a few of these last summer around July 4th. It's the cool thing to do right now, and I have to admit I found it sort of interesting to watch from down the street.

That said, the 22 year old "kid" who pulled this stunt at Disneyland is an idiot of global proportions. He should go to jail for at least a few days. And it goes without saying his job is now gone.

Completely admit to not understanding it. In fact, did before! Not sure I even want to understand it. :)

One Little Spark...
lots of "likes"
What, no pie from the not yet "well known" member? Phooey!

So, another article listed this guy as working at a drink cart. So, that leads me to wonder...was he colluding with someone at one of the ice cream carts who would have had easy access to dry ice on the parks?

As a side note...what a dummy.
