Thanks Chairman. That is frightening.

"Crack" is hardly a good enough description. It's a full break.

good for him/her - did they spot the break before filming, or did it just get spotted when they were watching the footage? I don't think I would have noticed either way.

These roller coasters are all they're cracked up to be.

I ask again - why would anyone in their right mind go on one of these things? How many people have died from accidents or failures on them - yet five people die in a sub and the whole world stops.

I can't believe it wasn't picked up on a routine inspection.

I've seen it on another site. The guy's family had been going round and round it, a couple of them eight times. The father soon opted out, but noticed something odd and filmed it. He said nobody seemed concerned and it was hours before the ride was closed down. It was also reported that other people had reported the crack before this.

The management sound as casual as the owners of the Titan.
