Kinda freaked out

I just found out that one guy died and 11 people were injured when a locomotive separated from the cars on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. Both my twin sister and I were just there not 4 days ago. My twin worked there 2 summers ago, and said it might be the first death in the park where Disney is at fault.

Kinda makes you stop and think. One minute you're having a blast in the happiest place on earth, and the next you're being wheeled away in a body bag. Just think how worse it could have been if it had happened last weekend (Labor Day). A lot more people could have been hurt.

  • Between you and Andrew, I swear man you need to quit taking everything so pessimistically.



    Funny, I never used the word "I" in the sentance in question.



    NO, what I said was, seeing as how it was Labor Day, a lot more people could have been hurt. Oh wait, that's right. You don't celebrate Labor Day.



    I dream of the day that you have something nice to say in my blog. I'm not holding my breath though.



  • Robert, I had a similar, stop and makes you think, experience last Sunday.



    I was out flying a plane I had rented and had just flown over my house and was jazzed as it was the first time my wife has seen me fly a plane (she was out on the deck) when I had a complete avionics power failure and the battery was drained. The engine was still running fine on the magnetos but I had no radio and no flaps and had to make a precautionary landing at a small air strip where I really needed to nail the landing (because of no flaps and the short length of the field).



    Now this wasn't a huge deal because of my training and the fact that the engine wasn't affected, but you can bet when the plane came safely to a stop on the runway, I had one of those moments!...so I know exactly what you are talking about.



    Rob
