165438+1On October 28th, it was reported that on the 27th, an elevator carrying 15 tourists from China in a hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand fell rapidly. According to Thai media, the elevator was carrying 15 tourists from China and 10 people due to suspected overload. But witnesses said that the elevator did not have an overload warning.

According to Thai media reports, on the evening of 27th, the elevator of a hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand fell rapidly, and five China tourists were injured and bruised in many places. The cause of the accident was initially determined to be the elevator overload-the elevator that could only accommodate 10 people was crowded into 15 people by China tourists in line, which caused the rope to break and 15 people fell with the elevator. After the elevator was stabilized, China tourists in the car were highly nervous, and they only cared about personal escape, and it was difficult to get away from each other, resulting in a stampede, which made the situation even more chaotic.

At present, the root cause of the elevator fall has not been verified, and the police are still investigating and verifying the elevator quality and rope breakage. After the accident, all five injured people in China have been sent to hospital, and the accident area has been blocked, waiting for a comprehensive investigation.

Publicly pointed out that the accident was caused by China tourists disobeying the order and the elevator was overloaded. The hotel said that in the future, it will arrange personnel to stay at the elevator entrance to prevent China tourists from crowding into the elevator and causing overload and repeated accidents.

It is reported that the local media reports only wrote about the overweight fall, but made no mention of the alarm and whether the elevator was closed or continued to rise.
