Fire at Disney's Animal Kingdom
Disney spokeswoman Andrea Finger says a truck engine at the Kilimanjaro Safari ride caught on fire when an engine hose failed. The blaze was mostly out by the time fire officials arrived.
The unidentified woman was taken to the hospital after complaining of a knee injury when she jumped from a truck. Finger says three other guests have been treated on the scene for minor injuries. She says Disney officials are inspecting all of the vehicles in the ride. The ride will likely re-open Monday. |

My DS is disappointed that we were not on that one. He loves excitement.

Re: Fire at Disney's Animal Kingdom
Wow, this could have riled up some animals, right?... which could have been really bad for the people who jumped off the truck!
