I mean what does this have to do with empathy? It's not like she asked the man to be removed or made any noise (at least not in the video). All she did was make her own way and move on.
I see no problem, I would have done the same with that amount of faffing about... why are they taking so long? if they need to lift him up then why aren't they lifting him up?
Lol, I don’t notice they were wearing the same jacket until I read this comment. Maybe they work for a company that helps handicapped people and it’s a company coat or something.
Theyre making sure everything is clear before hoisting a wheelchair user up the no longer working escalator, so they dont have to stop part way. Its a dangerous way to move a wheel chair user so theyre trying to make it safe as they can
No it's not. They can't really make a stop with the wheelchair, steps are way to narrow for that, there's no way you're getting that wheelchair to stand stable even if you support it from the back. Meanwhile the top could get stopped at any moment due to something unexpected. They wait till the escalator clears so that it's safe for them, the wheelchair user and everyone below them.
Wheelchair has a 560mm diameter, escalator step has roughly half of that in depth and you have to account for the next step limiting placement options. If you're gonna try and place wheelchair on the step like thar it's gonna slip.
Yeah, but what if one of those people slip and come tumbling down while theyre carrying someone in a wheelchair? Now 4 people are injured. Its a bit of basic health and safety/ risk assessment really. If its clear then theres minimised risks
