[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It blows my mind how many people apparently don't know that you shouldn't go into murky freshwater lakes in FL at night. I though was common sense you're just supposed to know like not using a hair dryer in the bath tub. [/quote]

Blows my mind, too. The ignorance is quite frightening. Alligators are very popular animals and I assumed most people knew this basic shit. [/quote]

Growing up in the northeast, how would I know this "shit"? Yes, I would be wary of wildlife at a park or out in nature, but everything at Disney is orchestrated down to the last second - down to what people say, and  what the air smells like. It wouldn't occur to me to be cautious around their man-made lake. And no, I didn't realize that alligators show up in swimming pools, etc.

Growing up in the northeast is no excuse. I was born and raised in DC. To not know about Florida and its gators is sad as hell. Disney is a great place but it can't control wildlife. [/quote]

Where did you learn your gator facts?  Those facts aren't taught in the DC area schools. Until this thread I didn't know that gators feed at night.  Even if I had learned that fact at some point in my life I didn't retain it because living in the DC area I had very little use for a fact like that.  Now that this horrible tragedy has happened at Disney World I doubt very much that I'll ever forget it.

I can not imagine what those parents are going through.  To lose your child in such an unexpected and sudden freak way is just incomprehensible.  [/quote]
