>>Federal investigators charged Walt Disney World with five safety violations at the Primeval Whirl roller coaster that was the site of a fatal employee accident last fall. They also fined the company $21,500.

In an inquiry report issued Thursday by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration and publicly released Friday, Disney World was cited for three serious violations, a repeat violation not fixed since an earlier inspection, and a paperwork violation relating to Primeval Whirl in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.<<

That likely just cost three CMs their jobs.
