Fatal ride was given look (http://www2.ocregister.com/ocrweb/ocr/article.do?id=60992&section=LOCAL&subsection=LOCAL&year=2003&month=10&day=10) - Orange County Register, 10/10/03


QuikQuote: According to the police report, which rules out sabotage, machinists looked for missing or broken fasteners on the trains and checked the wheels. Employee Gary Coleman told detectives that he and another machinist changed the front axle on Train 3, but the accident involved Train 2.
The report also detailed for the first time what it was like for passengers on the final ride. Some felt wild vibrating and jerking. Others heard clanging and a loud crash.
