Walt Disney World monorail system power outage strands riders for hours
Walt Disney World's monorail system suffered a power failure overnight, stranding some passengers for hours before riders were rescued by emergency crews.
The monorail was brought to a standstill by a failed hard drive in the computer system that runs the 15-mile long transportation system. The monorail lost power to its beam.
No one was injured, said Bo Jones, of the Reedy Creek Fire Department, which serves the Walt Disney World resort.
The monorail was running again by the time parks opened Sunday.
