Our hearts and prayers go out to this mom that did what all moms would do and keep her baby safe.

This very brave mother managed to toss her child to safety moments before being completely swallowed up by an escalator. It was all caught on security footage in the mall.

As the mother and child were exiting the escalator at top, the silver floor covers gave way and the two began to fall into the machine. The mother had the quick instincts to get her child to safety before being dragged down inside.

It took workers four hours to get the mom free, and she was pronounced dead on the scene. The family now wants people to be aware of this malfunctioning escalator.

Due to the nature of the video, we have elected to not show it here. If you're interested in seeing the video (once again, the video itself only shows the two falling at the top and the mother falling in. Not gory but really disturbing anyway), you can certainly find it on BuzzFeed.
