The video shows a crowded escalator in what appears to be a subway station rapidly collapsing at the bottom, trapping many people between the metal plates. The danger is the escalator collapsing and injuring the people on it.  There is no safety equipment visible, and it is not clear if a professional is working on it. Many humans are affected, as the escalator appears to be full. The aftermath shows firefighters rescuing people and loading them into an ambulance, indicating injuries did occur. It was reported that at least one person required an amputation and many more sustained serious injuries.
