Disneyland Ride Kills Rider...

"Poor maintenance blamed for coaster crash" at Disneyland. "'Our own analysis found that the accident was caused by incorrectly performed maintenance tasks required by Disneyland policy and procedures that resulted in a mechanical failure...' ... Less than an hour before the accident a third train was added to the ride. The train had not been in use since it underwent routine maintenance three days earlier. The report found that workers had erroneously failed to tighten two screws properly." uhh.... I can understand cutting costs, folks, but "Don't tighten that screw" is a little, uhh... let me see.... stupid!!!
