New surveillance video shows workers knew about faulty escalator before mother got on. CNN's Will Ripley reports
The 30-year-old managed to save her young son before she fell down the shaft after shopping mall escalator collapses. A woman was killed in central China when part of an escalator she was travelling on in a shopping centre collapsed under her feet and she fell through the gap. The woman aged 30 managed to push her two-year-old boy to safety at the top of the escalator before she fell into the machinery, the Wuhan Evening News reported. Surveillance video at the shopping mall in Jingzhou shows the woman holding her son as she prepares to get off the escalator when a footplate collapses under her feet. Stuck in the hole and with only her upper body above the structure, she pushed her son forwards and he was caught by a shopping assistant standing near the top of the escalator.
