Dead on the spot

According to the first reconstruction of the ‘ elevator was stuck. It ‘an officer intervened ATAC and tried to start it again. At that moment the child, who was on a stroller, escaped to his mother and fell down an elevator shaft. A flight of about ten meters and not left him no escape for those who tried to rescue him died instantly. On the site of the tragedy intervened Mayor Marino, who immediately wrote on his Facebook profile: “A child has died falling down an elevator to lift the Metro Furio Camillo. I’m going immediately on site to make sure what happened. ”

The Councillor for Mobility Improta: “Human error”

“The dynamic is strange. Surely there was a mistake of the agent of the station that has put in place a procedure that should not, perhaps because ‘there were conditions Difficulty’ and at the end there ‘was the tragedy. The elevator stopped and ‘was joined by another elevator and you and’ tried to make a transfer of people through a trap door. A procedure is not codified. ” So the councilor for Mobility, Guido Improta, who is on his way to the scene of the tragedy to the metro station Furio Camillo. In the station there are also the general manager of ATAC Francesco Micheli and President Roberto Grappelli.

The mother was able only after the death of his son

It seems that the elevator was stuck with some people inside, including the small and his mother, who still knows nothing of her son’s death. She is still with the mayor in the station now closed, next to the elevator and did not want to leave. According to the first hypothesis, the woman and the child, along with 4-5 other passengers they would remain blocked and to get them out would have opened the side door of the cabin itself. But the child, perhaps frightened, was launched into the escape, escaping the control of the mother, flying down. According to another hypothesis, the technical Atac fi groped for release as soon as possible people trapped and screaming for help, he tried to open the doors with their hands. It has however created between the quay and the cabin gap of more than a meter in which the precipitate is small. Meanwhile, the elevator operator was seen crying and be carried away by his colleagues in arms. Around the station there are hundreds of people upset.

“that elevator is often failure”
