escalator terror! see recent TNT reporting on this subject.


                   Revenge of the Machines.

A 120-person group, 100 of them students, went on a school
trip from the İMKB Middle School in Sincan, Ankara, to Bursa.
Yesterday, the group boarded an escalator to scale the Tophane
Yokuşu (ascent) to the tomb of Sultan Osman, the founder of
the Ottoman Empire.

All of a sudden, though, the escalator reversed direction and
the student fell on top of one another in a great panic.  In the
end, 7 children and one parent were slightly injured.


...and when you want it to happen it never does!
