Just announced on a special report on KABC not more than 4 mins. ago. One of the trains of the Big Thunder ride derailed. There are serious injuries requiring Anaheim FD to set up a triage area on the Big Thunder trail between the entrance and exit areas of the ride.

Huh?
Is this a chicken hat joke or what? Or did a train on the ride derail, and you are gathering the info?

www.abc7.com is reporting 7 minor and 1 critical. They have an aerial photo of the ambulance and triage tarp in front of the queue.
And now www.nbc4.tv is reporting that "A locomotive broke loose from a train..." |

I'm glad to see that one of the first news outlets on the scene with pictures was KABC. You'd half expect them to stay away from it to protect the company.

MSNBC reported that the one critical person is an adult male, and has been transported to the UC Irvine medical facilities. They expect 5 more guests to be taken to the hospital also.

If the locomotive actually derailed, it makes you wonder if the injured guests were actually on the ride, or did the locomotive fly off into the queue?
