The report states that the cause of the crash was human error and there has been no evidence of a mechanical malfunction but that is not the only reason behind the fatal accident according to anonymous sources. The crash occurred at a time when the manager was coordinating the trains off-site via radio. According to the paper, Disney World policy did not require the manager to coordinate the trains at the console. They have since changed that policy said the source.
