Two tourists have plunged to their deaths from a balcony at a Malaysian airport just hours apart, leaving horrified passengers in shock.
Incidents at Kuala Lumpur International Airport
A 27-year-old Chinese woman fell from a ledge at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Friday, May 1, at around 2:20 pm local time. According to local police, the woman was seen sitting on the ledge, crying and screaming aggressively before her fall. Security personnel and airport staff attempted to calm her, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
Later that same day, at approximately 9:10 pm, a 30-year-old Algerian man jumped from the outer balcony area on the third floor of Terminal 2. The two incidents are not believed to be related, authorities stated.
