HORRIFIC: Woman Kills in Escalator as Metal Panel Gave Way

A woman identified as Xiang Liujuan, 30, was reportedly killed after falling into an escalator in a shopping centre in central China on Sunday.

Xiang was able to push her child to safety as she fell in after a metal panel at the top of the escalator gave way, causing her and her toddler to stumble.

Unconfirmed reports said that maintenance works had been carried out on the escalator recently, and workmen had replaced the metal panel but forgotten to secure it with screws.
Safe to say 'beware of escalators?  May the soul of the reposed rest om peace!
