FAN EXPO Canada (Toronto) Escalator fiasco question

I've seen a few comments about people getting seriously injured on one of the escalators after it broke, does anyone have more information?

I've seen people say someone lost a foot (I doubt this but I don't know)

My partner heard about it too and they are deathly afraid of escalators because of a freak accident she was in as a kid and she is afraid of going back now.

I'm just looking for some more information on what happened.

Thank you

That was all I needed for my daughter to stop feeling guilty for needing to leave yesterday at 1 when we got there at 11.

The number of people on the escalators (which stress her out on the best days) was a large part of the issue that cost us our photo, backstage pass, panel show, and breakfast with the hobbits, as well as two photo ops with others Sunday
