Employees Spot Danger of Escalator before Accident

The surveillance video of an escalator accident in Jingzhou City, central China's Hubei Province, showed that two mall employees had found the danger of escalator five minutes before the accident that caused the death of a woman. According to the surveillance video, the two shopping mall employees stepped onto the loosen metal panel and found the hidden danger at 10:55, five minutes before the accident, but failed to take any emergency measures such as stopping the escalator and making checks. They then reported what they saw to their leader of the mall and called for the escalator maintenance staff. However, the escalator was still running with no customers taking the escalator for the time being. At10:09, a woman with her son took the escalator. The employees warned the women of the danger of the escalator. The woman lifted her son but still stepped onto the loosen metal panel. The panel collapsed, and the woman pushed out her son when falling into the escalator. One employee grabbed the boy but failed to pull the woman out of the escalator. Then the woman dropped into the escalator machine and the related upward escalator stopped running while the downward one was still working. At 10:12, more than two minutes later than the time of accident, maintenance staff arrived and stopped the downward escalator. Rescuers recovered the woman's body from inside the escalator at 14:00. An investigation into the cause of the accident is underway.
