Questions remain after man is ejected from Six Flags roller coaster and dies

Two days now after the horrific incident at the Six Flags outside of Atlanta and some initial questions are being answered. Reports show the man killed was ejected from the Goliath coaster and that he was an Atlanta school employee. We're checking in with Brittany Tula. She was following the story yesterday. She joins us here in studio with the latest details. Brittany. Hey, Anthony. The man killed is 42-year-old Hassan Kareem. He worked in IT, taught tech, and was a robotics coach. Now, initial reports confirm he was ejected from the Goliath, But investigators are still trying to pinpoint exactly how that happened. Hassan's family, though, now is still trying to come to terms with the fact that he went to Six Flags on a Monday off from school and just never came home. Oh, I'm really devastated by this because it just happened out of the blue. It happened like how it happened, and you wouldn't ever expect nothing like that. He loves kids, and for him having a kid, he doesn't have any biological kids, but his stepdaughter is his daughter. And 42-year-old Hassan Kareem plunged to his death Monday at the Six Flags just outside of Atlanta, falling from the 200-foot-high Goliath hypercoaster. Initial reports say the Atlanta Public Charter School employee was ejected from the moving car. He hit several people before falling to the ground. Kareem was found not breathing and unresponsive under the ride. While reports show he was ejected, there's no indication right now if a mechanical failure, restraint malfunction, or operator error caused that ejection. Now, in response, Six Flags says out of an abundance of caution, it's temporarily closing nine other rides officials say are similar to the Goliath. And the closed rides are across six parks, including Gurney's Raging Bull here. Now, both the Raging Bull and Goliath have the same Swiss manufacturer. They're both considered hyper coasters, reaching about 200 feet high and hitting speeds of 70 miles an hour. And we're looking at pictures of the two. Both also look like they have the same type of seats and restraints. Those restraints, not the type that go over your shoulders or a bar that goes completely across your lap. It's something that kind of goes on your lap and locks into place. Now, the Illinois Department of Labor, who inspects rides like the Raging Bull, says in this statement, quote, in Illinois, all rides must pass a rigorous annual inspection before they're permitted to operate. Additionally, rides are subject to re-inspection at the IDOL's discretion. The closure of Raging Bull in Illinois was done voluntarily by Six Flags and was not due to a specific issue found on the ride the practice of the Illinois Department of Labor in situations like this is to have one of our trained inspectors re-inspect a ride before it reopens to the public but right now there is no timeline of when Raging Bull or those other rides will be moving again but remember the season is coming to a close the park here in Gurnee closes for the year on November 1st guys okay Brittany thank you very much for that
