Moving Walk Accident in Thailand Results in Amputation of Woman’s Leg

A woman’s leg had to be partially amputated after it was trapped by a moving walk in Bangkok, Thailand’s Don Mueang Airport, AP News is among outlets to report. The Thai passenger was due to board a flight when she was caught by the end of the walkway in Terminal 2. A medical team eventually had to cut her left leg off from above the knee, according to the source. She was taken to the hospital, and it is unclear whether it will be possible to reattach her leg. The airport’s director says the airport will be fully responsible for the women’s medical costs and is open to negotiating other compensations. The moving walk has been closed, and a team of engineers is working to determine the cause of the accident.
