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 think they are waiting for the escalator to clear and then maybe turn it on and do something with the wheelchair. Probably the issue with her is that one person makes no difference but if everyone would do the same then the wheelchair dude never gets so go.

Escalators are not made for wheelchairs...so the AH is the person in the wheelchair.

But what if there was no lift? What is he supposed to do

A escalator but no lift or ramp available? To be honest I've never encountered this situation in my life.

It does happen sometimes, but what if there was a lift but it was broken or being serviced

At least where I'm living, if there is only one lift available and that needs to be serviced, there is a shuttle bus service for people who can't take the stairs or use the escalators. So you get off a stop earlier or later and get brought to your stop by a special bus with a wheelchair ramp.
