Rome, dead child in metro, the agony of the mother: “Marco was … – The Messenger

Gail remained kneeling for hours on the edge of the precipice, between the landing of the elevator that was stuck and the vacuum that had engulfed the little Marco. And he repeated like a litany that he was there, beside her, as long as the coach of the train did not open the elevator door locked, “And then, a moment later, had disappeared into thin air, in the dark, I do not know where. ”

Gail has not been able to say more all afternoon to the men of the operational department of the Carabinieri who have supported it. He added a few details during the night, when she was interrogated in a barracks on Tuscolana, with the support of a psychologist and her husband, who was also destroyed, out the door. He explained that the elevator was alone with the child, that it was hot, the sudden blockage of the elevator had frightened her, he wanted to bring Marco outdoors. Then collapsed again.

Only a few minutes and there would be a skilled worker. But the man still try to free the mother and the baby that cries meanwhile, scared. The operator ATAC salt in a service elevator, parallel to the one used by the passengers, it reaches the bay where there are Marco and Francesca, little seems to have been lifted from the stroller: the operator opens a door connecting the two lifts . Then the tragedy.
