I wouldn't exactly describe this as something to be proud of, would you?

well SHIT happen... what can we do? I'm glad no one is hurt, dont think about the bad side, take this as a signal. I think no one want anything bad to happen, I believe they will make it much more safer now and to measure every possible things that might have go wrong, which is a very good thing....

But it is on CNN isn't it? it definately is crazy... well everything that we do, have a certain kind of danger. But I think those Machine in Amusement Park where children will be invovled should be double secure before letting it run...

Did I say I was proud?

I am just saying before jumping and asking for the Manager to be fired, we should let them carefuly find what was the problem. Once we know, then conclusion can be drawn..for know we can just wait.

As for delays at the beginning when they opened I would say it is quite common. Very few similar projects start without any setbacks...then again, not saying it is good or you have to be proud of, just saying that it isn't uncommon...
