The moving walkway disaster at Don Mueang International Airport, according to the Engineer Institute of Thailand (EIT), may have been brought on by a sudden falling object.
On June 29, 2023, a woman traveling through Don Mueang International Airport lost her lower leg after she slipped and became trapped on a moving walkway. Following the accident, a team of engineers from the EIT participated in the inspection and examined the moving walkway.
Mechanical engineering committee advisor Mr. Boonphong Kitwattanachai told TPN reporters The walkway maintenance report has been verified and examined, according to the airport. Before use, the moving walkway underwent daily testing. It seems doubtful that the catastrophe could have happened due to poor maintenance. “After inspecting the damaged end of the walkway, we now think that a possible cause of the gap at the end may have been an object that fell into the end of the gadget.
Before the woman fell, a suitcase wheel became impaled in the space, and the space then imprisoned the passenger’s leg. But the investigation into the accident’s precise cause will go on, Mr. Boonphong stressed.
