AOT said it was alerted at 8:40 a.m. of a female passenger’s foot stuck in an escalator in terminal 2. The assigned medical team had to cut the traveler’s leg off from above the knee, the Associated Press reported. The woman was later taken to two hospitals for treatment, including an attempt to reattach her leg.
In a news conference, Don Mueang Airport Director Karun Thanakuljeerapat said the woman’s suitcase wheels were also found under the walkway belt, and that the walkways are inspected on a daily basis. He added that authorities will take care of medical expenses and compensation for the traveler.
