\"\"Just imagine, there you are on your way to the metro,
\nstanding on the escalator and all of a sudden that darn
\nthing speeds up at a fricking speed where your only
\nthought is: How will I end at the end of the escalator?<\/p>\n

This happened a week ago in Rome where the russian soccer team CSKA Moscow met the italian soccer team AS Rome for a Champion’s league game. They say the dancing of the various fans caused the escalator to break down but the soccer teams dement that they caused the breakdown of the escalator.<\/p>\n

There was a similar case of a failing escalator some time ago, as well: In New York an escalator failed<\/a> and rushed down also at a tremendous speed. However the escalator in New York had an emergency breaking system that avoided a lot of injuries.<\/p>\n

In Rome however at least 20 persons were injured and the escalator was heavily damaged. People not jumping aside would have been inevitably injured.<\/p>\n
