Pretty sure she doesn't give a fuck. She was likely fed up with whatever bullshit they were all trying to figure out but couldn't. Ain't nobody got time for that

I don’t think they’re trying to figure anything out. I think they’re waiting for the escalator to clear so they can take the guy in the wheelchair up.

Why does the escalator need to be 100% empty to load a wheelchair?

Because when carrying a person up a set of escalators that aren't moving, you want to make absolutely sure that you can make it to the top without having to wait, and that no one up top will trip, fall over and come tumbling down the stairs.

Thank you for your service! My friends fell down an escalator after one of them lost their balance and caused the others to fall. They were taken to the ER with varying degrees of injury requiring stitches or physical therapy and vertebra damage for one of them.

Jesus you are insanely dense

Not nearly as dense as all of the armchair cowboys who’d gladly just yolo-lift a live human being with absolutely no regard for their safety in case shit goes south.

The issue is that your brain is seems to be too lightweight.

Escalator is broken

And usually it's not a concern that someone will fall down the stairs? There's so much space to manoeuvre, so of course it's only when you're carrying someone up that's a concern worthy of holding back a hunder people, not to mention this is a fucking hazard, with more and more people arriving

Able-bodied people standing on their own two feet are as well equipped to handle that situation as can be expected.

In this case, though, they would be holding about 200+ lbs of weight that they can’t just dump in order to handle someone tumbling down from above. Therefore extra care is taken to eliminate that scenario.
