A faulty escalator at a Beijing subway station has killed a 13-year-old boy, badly hurt three passengers and slightly injured 24 others. Beijing MTR Corporation, which runs line four, has apologized for Tuesday morning's accident. The incident happened just after 9:30 am at exit A of Beijing Zoo Station. Witnesses say the rising escalator suddenly changed direction, caused more than 20 passengers to fall to the ground below. A 13-year-old boy, on the way to the zoo with his father and sister, was killed. His father and sister were injured. The company says it was launched an emergency response and all injured people are in hospital. Subway officials say the accident was caused by the escalator malfunctioning. The escalator, produced by the world's largest escalator firm OTIS, was still in guarantee, and the manufacturer had completed a routine check just last month. The government has demanded a probe into the accident and asked all subway operators to check their facilities. Ten escalators along the subway line have been suspended, and double checks are under way.
在北京的一个地铁站里，一条手扶电梯发生了故障，造成了一起严重的意外，意外中，一个13岁的男孩死亡，3人重伤，还有24人轻伤。目前，运营4条地铁线的北京MTR公司已经为这起发生在星期二早上的意外事故道歉。 这起意外事故发生在北京动物园的A出口，时间是刚过早上9点半。目击者说，正在上升的手扶电梯突然调转了方向，向后走，这使得超过20名乘客向后倒在了地面上。 一个13岁男孩死于这起意外事故，而和他一同去动物园的爸爸和妹妹则受了伤。这间公司称，他们已经采用了紧急措施，现在所有的伤员都已在医院接受治疗。一位地铁站的职员说，这条手扶电梯本身就有点故障，而这就是导致这起事故的主要原因。 这电梯由世界最大的电梯生产公司---奥汀斯公司生产， 目前还处于质保期，而且仅仅上个月，生产商就对它进行了一次维修检查。现在，政府已经要求要对这一事故进行调查，并要所有的地铁维修员对这些设备进行检查。目前，10条电梯已经停止了运转，工作人员正对它们进行双重的检查。 ——译文来自: KBTMAC
