Mother Dies Heroically Saving Her Young Son In Worst Escalator Collapse



This is a very sad news as a Mother in China was swallowed by a defected escalator that collapsed at a shopping centre in China. The mother who died from this managed to throw her infant son to safety.



She is 30-year-old and her name is Xiang Liujuan. She was travelling up the escalator at Anliang department store in Jingzhou with her 2 year old son but, when they reached the top, all of a sudden a floor plate gave way and the mother fell through the floor. It is really a very disturbing video.



This horrific instance was all captured on CCTV but also shows the incredible moment the woman was able to thrust her toddler towards the mall staff who were luckily able to drag the child to safety.


The two staff members also have tried their best to rescue Xiang Liujuan as she dangled above the machinery but unluckily were unable to.

The Wuhan Evening News reports that the woman was shopping with her husband on Sunday when the accident happened, although he was not with them on the escalator.
Maintenance had just been carried out on the escalator and initial reports claim workers forgot to screw the access cover back into place. Tragic.
