On the morning of June 29, local time, a tragic accident occurred at Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand...
A 57-year-old female tourist dragged her suitcase up an automatic walkway inside the airport, and when she reached the end, she unfortunately tripped over her luggage...
Before she could get up, the woman's left leg was dragged into the mechanism at the end of the moving walk...
She was unable to break free, except for crying for help, she could only watch the muscles and tendons of her left leg be torn apart little by little...
The brutal tearing scene caused screams at the scene, and although passers-by quickly reacted and rushed to turn off the emergency switch, it was too late...
Then the medical team arrived and made the decision to amputate the woman's leg on the spot - cut off the part of her left leg below the knee...
After that, the female tourist was taken to Mimbol Adulyadej Hospital in Bangkok for emergency treatment to assess whether the broken leg could be recovered...
However, according to the follow-up information disclosed by the media, the hospital believed that the woman's left leg could not be retrieved, and the woman was transferred to the top local Bumrungrad International Hospital to seek the opportunity to pick up the leg.
After the woman was taken to the hospital, the engineering team blocked all moving walks, began investigating the cause of the accident and conducting safety checks...
The person in charge of the airport said that the sidewalk where the accident occurred was made by Japan's Hitachi Company, installed in 1996, and the planned replacement time is 2025, and safety inspections are usually carried out...
Two trunk wheels were found under the conveyor belt at the scene of the accident, which should have fallen off the suitcase of the tripping woman, and the yellow comb plate that originally covered the end of the sidewalk had also fallen off the edge of the conveyor belt...
It is uncertain what specific connection this information has to this incident...
But Don Mueang Airport has said it will take full responsibility for medical expenses and compensation, and change the trail ahead of schedule.
Following this explosive news, the media found that as early as 2019, there was a "same" accident at Don Mueang Airport...
At that time, a passenger took the automatic trail in Terminal 1 and his shoes were stuck, but he was much luckier than the female tourist and chose to quickly abandon his shoes and leave, and in the end, only his shoes were damaged by the trail...
Since there were no casualties, the man only received an apology text message from the airport, and the statement from the airport was - "The broken sidewalk has been repaired and will reopen in about an hour", and there was not much discussion from beginning to end...
When it comes to elevator equipment, although the popularity of elevators has increased over the years, the public is accustomed to taking elevators, but little attention is paid to their hidden dangers...
In fact, there are many accidental casualties related to elevators, escalators, and automatic walkways, and they may occur nearby...
At the beginning of this year, there was an "escalator bloodbath" at the Okruzhnaya metro station on the northern outskirts of Moscow...
An 11-year-old boy named Misha boarded the elevator with his father, and when his father was not looking, he rested his head on the moving track, and his head and hands were firmly stuck between the escalator and the overhanging glass partition on the side...
Misha's fragile head and face were sandwiched in the middle, and as the elevator ran and was constantly squeezed by friction, the blood flowed nonstop, and he almost passed out...
The father lifted Misha up and tried to rescue him, almost all passers-by came to help, tossed for a long time, Misha was finally saved, was diagnosed by the hospital with a dislocated jaw bone, a contusion to the face, and went directly to the intensive care unit...
In the middle of the elevator is a large blood stain left by Misha, which is shocking...
A few years ago, a Canadian woman died on the spot because her scarf got stuck between the gaps in the escalator.
That day, she wore a long scarf to ride the city escalator, the scarf inadvertently rolled into the gap between the elevator steps and the handrail, as the elevator went down tighter and tighter, she could not take the scarf out, and suffocated on the spot...
It was already a corpse when he left ...
There are also some mass injuries caused by mechanical failures, and the picture is quite thrilling...
At the beginning of this month, there was an "escalator retreat" accident in a Korean subway station, and the direction of the elevator suddenly reversed and retreated backwards for a few seconds... A dozen people rolled down from above, and the scene was in chaos ...
Three of them were taken to hospital with serious injuries, and eleven others suffered minor injuries...
There is also the 2018 escalator acceleration event in the metro station of Rome, Italy...
This is a video recording the original speed of the scene, and the passengers have slipped before they even have time to get off the elevator...
According to media reports, at least 20 passers-by were injured in the incident, seven of them seriously...
If it weren't for the well-wishers on the escalator next door who quickly rescued a few passers-by, I am afraid that there would be more wounded...
There is also the elevator collapse in Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, in 2018, which is more terrifying than above...
During rush hour, on an escalator at the Ayazaga metro station, a passerby fell into the elevator black hole, and the thrilling footage was recorded by CCTV on the scene...
According to the video, a group of people were walking down an escalator that was unusable due to maintenance, several stories high, but the escalator suddenly began to move, and a whole row of people fell from the escalator at the same time...
In a panic, everyone is trying to grab the armrest to keep their balance... A man named Mehmet Ali Erik was also among them.
From the video, he had already grabbed the handrail, but the escalator he was on suddenly collapsed, and a huge black hole instantly engulfed him. The armrest was too slippery for him to save himself...
After Mohammed fell, the escalator continued to run for a few more seconds before stopping.
Passers-by stood for a moment to observe the situation before rushing to the edge of the large hole and looking down to check his condition. Poor Mohammed was trapped under the elevator for a full hour before being rescued by firefighters, with a broken hand and taken to the hospital for treatment...
In the case of the above horrific events happening one after another, the elevator clutter, the difficult elevator challenge video is endless, it seems a little strange...
The popularization of elevator equipment does make daily life more convenient, but it is quite necessary to clearly understand the dangers behind these equipment and standardize the ride...
It is also hoped that "regular maintenance and overhaul of elevators" can be strictly put on the regulatory agenda around the world to prevent more elevator tragedies...
