There was no injury and that's good news. The balance sheet talks about two women, shocked and in tears, who needed the support of an ambulance. One of them was bruised on one leg and was treated on the spot. Scenes of panic today, February 22, when one of Policlinico's two escalators he suffered a failure.
The facts around 8:40. Users, at the exit of the Metro B direct train to Joniothey had cluttered the escalator like every morning. So the failure. Sudden.
First, the traffic system stopped, reversed the report and then stopped again. Then he screams. One literally jumps on someone who seeks shelter, straddling, on the handrail that separates the central escalator from the "normal" steps. Others fell and finished, trampled. A woman was entangled for a moment with her jeans in one of the steps. So he's screaming. So a lot.
Who trembled, who cried. In short, there was fear. And how. A firefighter, free from the service and who attended the scene, lent first aid. This is he who has called the support of the ambulance. An Atac employee is also on site. The escalator, after the appropriate controls, is broken down around 9:20 am

It could have ended worse. The memory, even the present, immediately returned to what happened to the Repubblica Station when the fans of the CSKA Moscow they found themselves stuck and crushed as a result of breaking an escalator, they literally collapsed under their feet. In this case, there were wounded, even serious.
According to the Rome prosecutor, these escalators they did not collapse because the Russians were jumping. Perhaps due to a failure of the ramp or the breakage of a mechanical part. For that four people they found themselves in the registry of suspects. Now, Atac will have to determine the reason for the latter failure.
