This is not only another case of reckless drivers in Florida, which is apparently quite common. But this time, many people on Reddit complained about the closure of one of the terminals at Orlando International Airport (MCO) for a long time because of a crash between two Ubers. The strangest thing about this whole incident is that it caused quite a commotion, not only because the terminal was closed for an hour but also because many police cars blocked the road and guarded the surroundings while they solved this case.
Redditor NinjaRider407 shared a picture of the MCO on r/orlando and asked other users if they knew why they closed Terminal C. Even the OP didn’t understand that no one knew anything, even though many cops were at the scene.
Yeah there was like 10 to 15 cop cars, an undercover car and alot of activity near the Brightline train where B side opens up. Traffic by the 417 was backed up for at least a Mile and people were walking everywhere. Surprised nobody knows what happened.

Finally, among the many comments, a user appeared, explaining how this situation had come to such a pass and how it affected so many people during all that time:
2 Venezuelan Uber drivers got in an accident…turns out they both bought their accounts illegally from other people because their status in the US wasn’t exactly legal…ICE showed up as well.

It is logical that both Uber drivers would find themselves looking for a customer at Orlando International Airport, but that they would crash to such a degree that they would need so many police officers and that even ICE would end up intervening is very bad luck. Sadly, many more cases exist in which people clone, steal, or falsify accounts for these services, putting all users at risk.
This is also a clear warning to the users who work as drivers in these applications and those who are passengers. We must be more cautious and check that the accounts are real and that, as a driver, your data is safe. Companies, like Uber in this case, should work more on the security of their customers’ data, and drivers should also work more on the security of their customers’ data.
