ATLANTA — An Atlanta City Council member is calling for a full investigation into a escalator malfunction at a MARTA station after Beyoncé‘s concert Monday night.
Beyoncé concertgoers injured when a MARTA escalator malfunctioned say the transit agency’s report that a “stampede” caused the accident misrepresents the crowd’s behavior and downplays the infrastructure and a lack of staffing to manage the huge crowd.
