We had just started "Storytime" at Pier 21's Junior Journalist Day Camp when we heard a loud crash-smash-bang.
We all said '"what was that ???!"
The class soon found out, as an eyewitness had seen the whole thing and told our teachers.
A large grey ceiling fan, at least 500 mm in diameter, fell down on the escalator, just in front of a man descending upon it.
He ran off. The staff stopped the escalator because they weren't sure what had happened at first.
The staff quickly gathered up all the pieces of the broken fan before it could get caught in the escalator's interior.
There was definitely nothing visible left of the incident, when I went on the escalator two hours later.
A close call for everybody !
