Accident Direct Link: http://www.dldhistory.com/link2us.asp?ID=1166 ====================================Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Direct Link: http://www.dldhistory.com/link2us.asp?ID=1011 On Friday, September 5, 2003, at approximately 12:03 p.m., the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, Permanent Amusement Ride Unit, Anaheim District Office (The Division) received a phone call from Disneyland Resort , reporting that a serious accident and possible fatality had occurred on Friday, September 5, 2003 at approximately 11:18 a.m. The accident was reported to have occurred on an attraction known as the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, located at Disneyland Resort..========================================This is an Email a viewer sent to me about this video:Dear sir or madam, I'm writing you in regards to a video found on You Tube that references this web site. A friend of mine's daughter came across a video of your's online. Her favorite ride (was) Big Thunder the roller coaster. She won't ride the ride anymore. She's terrified based on the video she saw. I feel bad for my friend who told me about her watching it. So, I'd like to write for him! First, the opening shot with the title alone is kind of scary. Blood type text? Things like this in my opinion shouldn't be shown online. If there are people -that- curious, they can do their own research...it shouldn't be easily accessable (especially for little kids!). A text only version of that information would be good enough for those curious. Pictures?? It was like looking at a car accident! Personally, I'd like to see that video removed, but what you do with it is your business. It's your video, and it's your right to post it. I'm just writing you so that you're aware that it has scared at least one little girl from riding it. My friend goes there all the time, personally, I'm not really big on amusement parks, but... this kind of thing reminds me of someone posting videos of real car accidents. It's kind of a morbid thing to think about. And for kids to have access to it, well... it's kind of sad. I have two different ways of looking at this... I feel that kids should be supervised while on the internet. Then again, when the kid is only looking up Disney stuff (mickey mouse, disneyland), why should there be a cause to worry?! He's told me, his daughter doesn't have nightmares anymore, but... to this day she still won't ride it! They have those yearly passes, and I went with them once, and as a friend I saw how terrified she was. She didn't even want to go into wildernessland area. So... please take this into consideration. Thank you for your time!
