據(jù)Wanted In Rome報(bào)道，2月9日，羅馬Furio Camillo地鐵站發(fā)生了一起自動(dòng)扶梯倒塌事故，造成巨大恐慌，所幸無人傷亡。該自動(dòng)扶梯現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)被查封，待羅馬公共交通當(dāng)局進(jìn)行調(diào)查。該自動(dòng)扶梯去年發(fā)生了好幾次故障，還一度導(dǎo)致地鐵站臨時(shí)關(guān)閉。而這次的自動(dòng)扶梯倒塌事故只是羅馬地鐵最近的一次自動(dòng)扶梯事故。附近的另一個(gè)地鐵站因自動(dòng)扶梯維修關(guān)閉兩個(gè)月，還有另一個(gè)站因自動(dòng)扶梯故障關(guān)閉了11個(gè)月，在本月才重新開啟。2018年10月，羅馬Repubblica地鐵站發(fā)生了一起自動(dòng)扶梯突然急速逆行的事故，導(dǎo)致數(shù)十人受傷。由于受傷人數(shù)較多，交通局有關(guān)負(fù)責(zé)人被判刑。有相關(guān)調(diào)查顯示自動(dòng)扶梯往往只是臨時(shí)維修，或者完全沒有維修，安全系統(tǒng)也被篡改過以掩飾故障記錄。

STEP COLLAPSE LATEST OF ROME METRO'S ESCALATOR WOES

The collapse of an escalator step caused panic but no injuries on February 9 at Rome's Furio Camillo metro station, Wanted In Rome reports. The escalator has been sealed off pending an investigation by ATAC, Rome's public transportation authority. Escalators broke down several times last year, resulting in a temporary closure of the station. The collapse was just the most recent escalator problem to hit Rome's metro system. One nearby station was recently closed for two months to repair its escalators, while another reopened this month after being closed for 11 months due to faulty escalators. In October 2018, dozens of people were hurt when an escalator at Repubblica Station went out of control, hurtling downward at high speed. Criminal charges have been brought against transportation officials in connection with injuries, and an investigation found that escalator repairs were often done in a makeshift manner, or were not done at all, with safety systems being tampered with to cover up malfunctions.
