Don Mueang Airport escalator accident on Thursday was not the first
26 Sept 08:27 Key points summarised by AI
- Don Mueang Airport's recent severe escalator accident, where a female passenger lost part of her leg, is not an isolated incident, following a similar occurrence in 2019 where a passenger's shoe was pulled into a mechanism.
- After the 2019 incident, the airport announced comprehensive overhauls and increased daily inspections of its escalators and moving walkways.
- Following the latest accident, all escalators and moving walkways were immediately closed for maintenance and investigation, despite the airport director's assurance of proper maintenance for the 30-year-old equipment.
