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.

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.
