KUALA LUMPUR - A video of a group of shoppers tumbling down like a pack of dominos onto one another at a shopping mall escalator has gone viral, and drew an irk to social media users throughout the country.
The clip shows footage from a closed-circuit television (CCTV), where a group of people going upwards on an escalator are suddenly reversed into the opposite direction.
The abrupt change caused shock and panic, and the victims – including some carrying toddlers – fell onto each other, causing a huge human pile up at the bottom.
Although it cannot be confirmed, comments by netizens on the video seem to point that the incident occurred at Setia City Mall in Setia Alam, Shah Alam.
Many have also expressed outrage over the incident, with some even urging the people involved to sue the management of the shopping mall. - Malaysian Digest
