in Moments of fear today in the metro B to Rome where the leaf of a door is detached from a convoy, while it was in the arrival at the quay of the station Pyramid, direction Laurentina. Two travellers were contusions and a third in a state of shock. L'Atac has launched an internal investigation to verify the causes of the accident, while the councilor for Mobility Linda Meleo has accused initially by the poor maintenance done in recent years: "we Will make light of the incident," he wrote on Facebook. "What happened is unacceptable to us. Surely it is that we want to shed light on the episode, and in the case of the responsibility to someone he will have to answer".
In the evening then always in a post on Facebook, the councillor said:"From the first reconstruction, it would seem that someone has operated intempestivamente the emergency brake. This has caused the leaking of the doors of about 5 cm with respect to the shape of the wagon. One of the sliding doors, escaping, he met an obstacle and for this reason it is detached. Not it was a problem with the maintenance but I still asked Atac is initiated a review of the doors of the trains of the metro as well as already done for the Roma-Lido".
The girlfriend of a traveler was injured he recounted the incident: "my boy," he said, "it’s alive, thanks to some lord. The meter went on and on for twenty minutes. The quay was full and when the train arrived, it was taken by storm and my boyfriend was the last to rise. And' was then attached to the doors. At a certain point, the door yielded and fell on his head. Some ladies have held do not fall". The company has spoken of a "limited consequences": "The train was leaving the gallery when, for reasons still to be clarified, occurred, detachment. Limited to the consequences, both for the passengers and the service. The service has never been interrupted. The train was led to the deposit for the audits".
According to the reconstruction of a second witness, for the first time passengers have feared that they were attack: "I heard a big bang," he said, "and I feared an attack. When I saw that we were all living in, I realized that the door was no longer there and the guy that had it before you kept his head. Without thinking about it, I insured it with one hand on a pole and with the other I grabbed the guy that was going to fall through the fault of the wind, saw that the car still walked. I was with the guy, had headaches and was scared, and a lady brought us ice".
On the episode, then, is also addressed by Carlo Rienzi, president of New: "we don’t want to think what would have happened if the convoy had lost the port in the condition of the train overcrowded, and in a stretch at high speed. Now we want to see the face light on this episode and on the responsibilities connected with the detachment of the leaf, and mainly on the level of security of the metropolitan roman. In this sense, we ask the power of Attorney of Rome to open an investigation, ensuring a 360-degree view of the activities of the maintenance carried out on trains of the london underground lines and the causes that led to the serious incident today".
