    This all sounds way too familiar, doesn't it?

    Family of six in one of the trains, but they were freed unhurt.

    Freed unhurt? Freed from the wreckage of the monorail or freed from the clutches of team Disney's lawyers?

    I wonder if this will end the practice of families riding in front with the engineer,

    Actually, only four passengers are allowed up front so the family must have been sitting at the rear of the one that got hit, or near the front of the other train. Being a Disney aficionado and frequent visitor, this kind of crash is unimaginable.

    Somehow, texting will be involved.

    Is there a chance the track could bend?

    Not on your life, my Hindu friend.

    A reference to that was the only reason I clicked on the thread.

    Oh, and RIP.

    Bitey and his family were the source of the monorail problem.

    Man that is outstanding.

    Guess the driver missed the biggest lesson of his intensive six-week class: Mono meaning one, rail meaning rail.
