Security guard crushed to death by falling ticket vending machine at Nagatacho subway station

A 70-year-old subway security guard was crushed to death at Nagatacho station on Tuesday morning when a ticket vending machine that he and four other station staff were carrying tipped over and fell down the stairs near the exit.

The 400-kg vending machine pinned the security guard, killing him. Two other men sustained injuries. The five workers were in the process of replacing the old machine with a new one when the accident occurred."
