Part of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at
Disneyland.
Workers a Anaheim theme park had an
attraction at Disneyland closed down and police alerted after they saw a
guest on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride sprinkling something
strange into the water.
"A witness described the substance as a
baby powder that quickly dissipated," a Disneyland resort spokesman
said. "We reopened the attraction after determining that there was
no hazard to our guests."
It turns out, that it may not in fact have
been baby powder - after all, who sprinkles baby powder off of the side
of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride? - but in fact, human ashes.
People scatter their ashes at sea, from the
air, at national parks, even on baseball fields, despite laws in many
states that forbid it. It's forbidden at Disneyland, but it's hard
to enforce. The state of California has a law that forbids
scattering human ashes even on privately-owned land.
