A fire erupted at Disney's Epcot theme park in Orlando, Florida, leading to a massive evacuation. The fire, which originated in the France Pavilion of Epcot, sent plumes of black smoke into the sky.
A representative for Disney confirmed that the fire started in a backstage area of the pavilion and was swiftly extinguished. Social media users speculated that a walk-in cooler may have ignited the blaze.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Epcot, which welcomes approximately 32,876 visitors daily, stands for "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow,". It was initially conceived by Walt Disney as a utopian city showcasing the future of technology and communal living.
Although this grand vision has evolved over time, the spirit of innovation remains at the heart of Epcot. The park is split into two main sections: Future World and World Showcase, reports The Mirror US.
Epcot has had a few fire incidents in the past, but they were generally quickly contained and did not result in significant damage. One notable event took place during the early years of the park.
On Epcot's opening night in 1982, a small electrical fire broke out in the set of the Spaceship Earth attraction. This incident occurred on the very first day of the park's operation, but it was contained without any major issues.
The ride had to be temporarily closed, but the fire did not cause significant damage or affect the overall operation of the park.
In the 1990s, a fire broke out in the Morocco Pavilion at EPCOT due to a cooking mishap in one of the pavilion's eateries. The blaze was swiftly put out, with no significant injuries reported.
The pavilion was temporarily shut down to deal with the aftermath and guarantee guest safety.

Islamist Influencer In Dearborn, Michigan Lecture For Muslim Teens: Christianity Is Dying, That's Why They Are Forced To Embrace LGBTQ Values; Allah Has Sent You To Civilize Them, Guide Them From Darkness To Light; Westerners Don't Want You To Succeed Because They Are Jealous Of What You Have; They Are Uncivilized, Still Use Toilet Paper In The Bathroom
In a lecture to Muslim teens at the Dearborn Community Center on October 11, 2024, Islamist influencer who goes by "Way of Life SQ" criticized Western and American culture, calling it "backward." He claimed that despite their technological advancements, philosophy, and ideas, Westerners remain "uncivilized" for using toilet paper in the bathroom. Way of Life SQ emphasized that Muslims were sent by Allah to bring civilization to these nations, moving them "from darkness to light." He also stated that Christians are "jealous" of Islam and that the Christian religion is "dying," and therefore it was forced to bring LGBTQ values into their fold. The lecture was streamed live on Masjid Al-Salam on YouTube. In July, Way of Life SQ said in a New York City sermon at the MAS Bronx Muslim Center, that Christians Cannot Fill Their Churches With 'Regular People', So They Are Letting Homosexuals In; Do Not Fall Victim To Zionist Plans; Hollywood, Music, Disney Are Zionist And Satanic. It is noteworthy that on October 12, Way of Life SQ delivered an Islamic learning session for high school and college aged young men at the West River Academy, a public charter school in Dearborn, Michigan.

[...] "You see the Shaitan [devil] tricks you with all this advancement in technology. Yet, they still haven't figured out that when you go to the bathroom, they're still wiping themselves with paper. All this advancement! Think about how advanced they've become! They're trying to go to Mars, they're trying to take over Saturn. They're trying to do all this stuff. Their cars are trying to be self-driven. Yet when they go to do the most lowest form of human nature, the call of nature, they're still wiping themselves and cleaning themselves with paper. They're uncivilized. Do not be tricked and deceived by the technology. Do not be tricked and deceived by their philosophies and their Westernizations and their ideas. At the end of the day, they're still backwards. [...] "Allah has sent us to these nations to civilize them. That's why Allah has sent us, to civilize these people. Yet the media makes us look like the barbaric ones. [...] Westerners Don't Want You To Be Successful Because They Are Jealous Of What You Have; Christianity Is Dying, That's Why They Are Forced To Embrace LGBTQ Values "The reason they don't want you to be successful is because they're jealous of what you have. The Christians, jealous of what you have. [...] "Their nations, their religions are dying. So what they had to do, they had to change their religion. You don't believe me? We went to churches and they're now having the LGBT flags over there. Imagine, your business, your religion is dying so much that the only thing that you can do is go and get help from the LGBT, that's the condition you've become. Because their religion is dying. Allah, the praised and exalted, has sent us into the nations to guide these people from the darkness into the light."
