ORLANDO - The National Transportation Safety Board is
joining the list of agencies investigating the death of a
21-year-old train operator during a monorail accident at Walt
Disney World last weekend.
NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said Tuesday that it is the first
time the agency is investigating an accident involving a private
transportation system on private property.
He says the agency is getting involved since the monorail system
carries large numbers of passengers.
Austin Wuennenberg died of multiple traumatic injuries after one
monorail train crashed into another last Sunday.
The accident also is being investigated by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration and the Orange County Sheriff's
Office.
