USA Today breaks the tale of killer escalators. Or Japanese too stupid to pay attention to avoid a technical glitch. Beware the next time you ride an escalator at the mall!
A rogue escalator took out 20 passengers in a Tokyo convention center when it inexplicably started going in reverse. The most serious of the injuries reported seems to be a broken leg, but it is clear that this escalator was staging a revolt because it was being overloaded by the crush of people...and wanted to feast of human flesh. Stay alert - it is only a matter of time before they start snagging shoelaces with the intent to kill. In defense of the people there, well, there is none. Just keep walking up or take a step back. You'd think the bottom opened up and started eating people.
