Alligator drags child into water at Disney's Grand Floridian hotel
Wow
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...614-story.html Deputies were searching late Tuesday night for a toddler who was dragged into the water by an alligator near Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa earlier in the evening, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. The 2-year-old child was dragged into the Seven Seas Lagoon about 9:30 p.m., Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Rose Silva said. Deputies were searching the waters and put crime-scene tape around area to block it off. Multiple emergency vehicles filled the front drive of the Victorian-style hotel and a helicopter hovered overhead. The child, whose name was not available, has not been found as of 11 p.m. Some witnesses said they saw the toddler along the beach near the water, but no eye-witnesses to him being dragged into the water by an alligator were available for comment Tuesday night. The hotel is an upscale luxury resort owned by Disney. It is one of three hotels on the monorail line, just one stop away from the Magic Kingdom Park. Hotel guest A.J. Jain and his family were visiting Disney from Georgia and said he and his kids were playing on the beach near the scene of the incident earlier Tuesday. “I’m just here to say a prayer,” he said. “I can’t imagine what those parents are going through. It’s been one tough week in Orlando.” It is not clear if the missing child was staying at the hotel. This is a developing story. Check back for updates. |

Demings said the Nebraska family of five was relaxing on the shoreline when the alligator attacked the boy. The father entered the water and tried to pry the child from the gator, but was unsuccessful. He had scratches on his hands after the ordeal.

They were right next to the kid. The dad tried to fight off the alligator, but, obviously, lost.

I assume that would be one reason that they have No Swimming signs next to those lakes.

Fl fresh water, No swimming. Somebody had been feeding that gator, probably the grounds maintenance throwing their chicken bones after lunch.

I watched the same thing happen in San Pedro Belize. Some kid was putting on a show every night at a lagoon feeding huge crocks dead chickens. Eventually someone got nailed. Crocs and gators are kind of like bison or moose, they look slow, but in reality they move a lot faster than people think.

They are quick and if they've been fed by humans they're more apt to be a problem. If they haven't had any interaction with humans they're usually not an issue. Either way you don't let your 2 year old by the edge of water even if standing next to them. Dogs get eaten all the time here and even smart or alert dog will never see it coming. |

Now, just to be clear, some of the best beaches in the world are in my neck of the woods, perfectly safe. They are no alligators at the beaches. They are only in fresh water or mix of fresh water/salt water in some cases.
