I would have just kept filming, seeing as many people were already trying to help and many not knowing what to do or stunned by the accident. @Spokker I know, right? Even at tourist attractions like disney world, you're likely to be part of several family photos or videos without even knowing. I would assume its still under investigation, but does anyone have details on the cause of the crash? Oh my god.

How many cameras does disney have operating at their parks? Heaven forbid the mindless consumers want to make their own video. i agree with Spokker.

You go into a private business, there's cameras everywhere. You go out on the street, there's cameras everywhere. But when you turn the camera around on the government or a private company, they squash that shit immediately. Keep snapping photos and rolling film, always.

There is a dystopian aspect to it, and anything that diminishes the fantasy is going to be rejected by staff. Accidents like this arnt just going to be the basic CYA for something like the Disney control freaks. Heads will roll just because they wernt able to control the NEWS of the crash. At this point, everyone is going 'oh fuck oh fuck,' and I would argue that the train operator probably thought it was Disney policy to cover-up and reduce the impact of the negative Disney imagery. Kids crying after a fatal monoroil accident is not an image Disney wants out there. Well, Disney’s obsessive control over its image in the park is known far and wide.
