Rome escalator collapse prompts calls for citywide tests
Italian transport unions, consumer associations and Rome residents have called for a full investigation into the maintenance and safety of the city’s metro system after 24 CSKA Moscow football fans were injured when a crowded escalator suddenly sped up before collapsing.
Video footage showed people hurling down the rapidly moving staircase at Repubblica station before piling on top of one another at the bottom. One man is at risk of losing his foot while others suffered leg injuries after becoming trapped between the metal plates of the escalator’s steps.
An investigation has been launched by Rome’s public prosecutor and Atac, the company that manages the city’s transport system.
“The problem seems to have been due to an overload on the escalator,” said Michele Frullo, from the USB union. “We ask for maintenance works carried out by external companies to be monitored; for some time now we have called for such fundamental Atac jobs to be internalised.” Source
