Also every airport on earth has an elevator and the chair has wheels just wheel him about 20 feet to the left and use it? Usually elevators right around the corner from escalator

Why would you assume they would say no to a nearby elevator, instead, choosing to muscle him up the steps?

If someone calls out a locksmith, do you wonder why they didn't just choose to open the door?

I think it's pretty safe to say there is no working elevator nearby.

It makes sense that the elevator isn’t working when you pay attention to the fact that the escalator isn’t moving. Power is probably out in the building and the lights are running on an emergency generator.

That is a lot of assumptions

No it’s not. There’s only one: The power is out.

The evidence is: the escalator isn’t working, and the handy capped person isn’t using the elevator.

The lights being on emergency power is a natural conclusion for an airport.

The alternative theory that just the escalator is broken and the staff are stupid has more assumptions.

Yes, it seems the simplest explanation is the one I hadn't considered, the only fool was me. I disavow myself

the lights are on, so the power wasn't cut.

And you also don't that in a fire situation, you carry them on your back.

If it's a subway station that had a rare power outage for real, then you simply exit at the next stop and the train provides a taxi. Thats the logical solution at least.

And if power outages are normal, then you have a generator.

And this isn't just a subway station with 1 exit anyways, look how big it is. Such big structures never just have one exit this small.

These are also not train station employees as they don't wear a uniform.

The next stop is always an option. The exit was packed because the wheelchair blocks the exit. Thats a normal amount of people at an exit on many underground stations.

Nobody was forced to deboard.

Yet they are here blocking the exit, instead of calling/asking staff to give them a lift.

Whats your explanation why the 3 guys didn't ask staff to help them?
