The 57-year-old Thai passenger was due to board a flight from Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport to the southern Nakhon Si Thammarat province this morning in the airport’s Terminal 2.

But in a freak accident, she tripped over her pink suitcase before her left leg was dragged into the mechanism at the end of the travelator.

Horrified passersby fumbled to turn off the emergency switch as the machine continued tearing through the limb’s muscle, tendon, and bone.

A medical team there eventually had to cut her left leg off from above the knee, according to the airport’s officials. She was then taken to Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital in the capital for emergency treatment.
