Two days ago, a tragic incident occurred at the Powell Street station in San Francisco, USA.
A 41-year-old woman was dragged out of the station by a train bound for Preston and died on the spot...
Reportedly,
The woman, Amy Adams, arrived at the station on the afternoon of Sept. 13, accompanied by a German Shepherd.
To facilitate movement, she tied a leash to the dog and put the other end around her waist.
At this time, Amy would never have imagined that a mediocre dog leash would put her in a desperate situation in a few minutes...
After the train entered the station, Amy got on the train with the dog.
Due to the large number of people in the car, she did not find a seat and could only stand near the door.
And it is this position that allows Amy to easily see the pedestrians on the station, including a very familiar figure - her boyfriend.
The boyfriend waved at her, and Amy responded to him immediately.
Originally, her boyfriend couldn't come to send her because of something, but now he suddenly appeared, which surprised Amy very much.
She walked out of the car door, which was "beeping" warning, and wanted to say goodbye to her boyfriend.
However, as soon as Amy got out of the car, the door slammed shut behind her.
The dog, who wanted to go out with him, hit the wall and spun around the carriage in a daze.
At this time, the dog's rope on the dog was stuck in the gap where the car door was closed, firmly connecting Amy outside the door, so that she could not leave the car door at all.
As the train starts, the dog rope tightens in just a few seconds,
Amy outside the car was like a kite being dragged all the way to the track, and it was too late to shout.
It happened so suddenly that no one present reacted.
"Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe the train had dragged her away."
A witness named Mike Sim told ABC, "That 'sudden, sudden, sudden, "
Sim, who had returned to his senses, immediately reported the incident to the subway system company to which the train belonged.
However, by the time the train was finally called to a halt, Amy had already been dragged to death, covered in blood.
Amy's boyfriend who witnessed this scene was also in pain,
"He was broken and kept shouting, 'My girlfriend, that's my girlfriend!' Sim said.
The scene was immediately cordoned off and all trains were temporarily suspended until the evening when they returned to normal.
The bizarre tragedy was reported in the country the next day, and many people felt sorry and sympathized for Amy's plight.
At the same time, the accusations against the subway system company also followed,
Many people believe that if the train can be stopped at the first time, the tragedy will not happen.
For a time, the safety of the train was questioned a lot.
In this regard, a spokesperson for metro systems also recently explained.
He said the train would run automatically unless the operator interrupted the door loop.
"The operator checks to see if the passenger leaves the door, but between the person getting out of the car while the door is closed – the operator is likely to have looked back."
At present, the relevant investigation is still in progress,
The only good news is that Amy's German Shepherd is safe and sound.
"It was frightened," Amy's roommate took care of the dog, "but fortunately it wasn't injured." ”
Although Amy's death was more of an accident,
However, both trains and passengers should comply with relevant safety measures to prevent accidents.
Hopefully, Amy's tragedy will not be repeated...
