Thought I would post something I saw in the paper.

Your subject line is as gossipy as what the content of the story is. Pretty sure it's a small world, which has been around for 50 years, isn't a killing machine.

Unfortunately people die sitting on the couch, standing on a bus, walking down the street. There is no story in the article.

In It's a Small World...it could have been someone from this website who saw the animatronics not in sync with the music and their blood pressure just skyrocketed...
With the way some people get worked up about that type of stuff, it would not surprise me.

 

[The Empress Lilly]

Every day 6000 people die in the US
Every day one in 3000 people in the US is in WDW.
So every day there should be two deaths in WDW.

Well, quite a bit less than two, because the terminally and gravely ill are not likely to vacation in WDW, and the rates for many deadly activities are far below average. But still.

If I had designed it, my blood pressure would rise to lethal levels from seeing that, yes.

maybe IASW broke down and the woman was stuck listening to the music for 15 - 30 minutes and had a panic attack. I now we got stuck on it for 15 minutes and i was so sick of the music after the first 5 minutes that i wanted to jump! by the way, the article has several typos so i find it hard to believe the validity of the site.

In other news, the estate of Elvis is filing a wrongful death suit against Kohler Corporation.

It's the NY Daily News, not the NY Times.

"Though it never made the NY Times, in the Daily News the caption read; Save the life of my child, cried the desperate mother." Simon and Garfunkle circa 1966

So it's well known for reporting attention grabbing, somewhat sensational, headlines.

Things that make you go , Hmmmmmm.

 

[Unplugged]

I thought the IASW animatronics came to life, ripping themselves from their anchors, and swimming after the boat with the intention to crush, kill, or destroy?

...oh, no....that was the Kingdom Keepers book. Never mind.

 

[Progress.City]

I can see it now...

Chucky Chapter XIV: IASW Dolls Murder Everyone


That's one movie I'll hope to never see!

"In a world of laughter..."
"In a world of tears..."
"In a world of hope..."
"In a world of fears..."

The story is being run in UK newspapers too :/

 

[Can we go yet?]

Ok??? People die every second, everywhere. It's sad that these women died, but 'It's a deadly world after all'? Are you kidding me?

 

[danlb_2000]

I know I will die a little every time I ride the new Frozen ride.

Life is a terminal condition.

Try as they might to make it one.

Life is a terminal condition.

And sadly, it begins at birth. No wonder so many people are on anti-depressants. It's a sad, sad world!

 

[FutureWorld1982]

With all the due respect to the people that, sadly, had to go through difficult times (as mentioned in the article), I truly cannot understand how a person can have a "change in mental status" on the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man (from the story on the Orlando Sentinel: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-disney-deaths-rides-20150121-story.html).
