Disney Kills -- Lawsuit Claims

Posted Mar 20th 2009 8:08PM by TMZ Staff

A Burbank family is suing the Walt Disney Company, claiming toxins from its Burbank headquarters contaminated the surrounding community, resulting in death.

Dennis Jackson claims Disney's air conditioning system contained contaminated wastewater laden with toxic chemicals that migrated into nearby residential areas and even contaminated drinking water.

The lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, claims Louise Jackson, who lived with her family in the neighborhood, died as a result of the pollutants. The suit claims residents now live in "terror of emissions."

The suit says Disney has been using the same cooling system since 1957.

Christ, what's with all these stupid lawsuits. One person died out of how many people living in that area, not to mention the thousands that work on the lot.
