OMG.
An astounding clip revealed a man being devoured by a gaping hole of a malfunctioning escalator at the Ayazaga Metro station in Istanbul, Turkey.
The footage was filmed during rush hour on February 27. It shows that passengers were walking down a motionless escalator before the victim stepped on it.
But all of sudden a hole emerged beneath the man and he dropped after failing to clutch to the handrail.
Luckily, the man survived inside the escalator and he was reportedly trapped under the metal stairs for an hour. He suffered minor injuries after he was rescued by firefighters. Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality had reportedly put up a warning sign near the broken escalator before the accident.
ISTANBUL (AP) — A natural gas explosion in Istanbul’s central Fatih district brought down two buildings on Sunday, killing one person.
Search and rescue personnel pulled out 10 injured who were hospitalized, including one in critical condition, according to a statement by the Istanbul Governor’s office.
The governor, Davut Gul, visited the site of the explosion and checked on survivors at the hospital.
One of the collapsed buildings had two stories, the other one.
