You are really over reacting. First, this is a horrible accident but accidents happen each and every day. How would you address your kids should you pass a car accident with fatalities? How do you put the evening news in perspective for your kids? As for the alligators, come on. The lake is huge and is located in the middle of swamp and woodlands. There is no way anyone can effectively control the numbers and sizes of the Gators in an area this size. I'm not trying to come across as mean, but this is no different than a shark attack. It's a horrible accident, but I can't see how anyone is at fault.
Maybe you are not trying to come across as mean but frankly that is the way it comes across. As far as this being no one's fault well I disagree completely. I just watched the press conference and Disney IS at fault. First, since it is a man made body of water and does not happen naturally therefore, they are at fault according to the lawyers furthermore, there were no posted signs stating that there could be alligators in the lagoon or any other man made body of water on Disney. Just because Floridians know that a standing body of water most likely contains 'gators' that does not mean others do! Disney has fostered the life in a bubble concept .....nothing bad happens at the happiest place on earth, but it does! They have created a false sense of security and most people let their guard down, I think, because they TRULY believe that a huge money making conglomerate 'cares" about them. Sadly, the world has changed and unfortunately naivete and innocence are a thing of the past. I could deal with the evil that was wrought at the Orlando night club because the perpetrator set out to do evil but, to me this smacks all too much of the novel Jaws where they did not want to close the beaches because they would lose money. As I said in an earlier post my experience witnessing a violent incident at Disney resulted in a NY cop taking down the perp while Disney CMs walked around and told people to move because it was "not the image Disney wanted to portray" (direct quote).
