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. |

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

Wow that really sucks. Living in the NorthWest I won't go in the woods without a gun because of bears and cougars. I wouldn't go near fresh water in Florida.

My kid knows NEVER go near the waters edge, especially during the evening/night. You don't even swim in a pool that you can't see the bottom of. I cant imagine the nightmare that father will live with the rest of his life.

This just hurts me to no other, I would literally be in the water searching for the ****er still with a knife..... Because I would want to make is slow and painful.
Now there was no signs saying "Alligators" but I read there was "No Swimming" signs.. But, honestly how the **** does this place not have signs for Alligators

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.

When I got the job offer to move to Florida the first thing my wife said was no way, those alligators will eat my little dog.

It's damn near impossible to avoid gators down here in any decent-sized body of water.
