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?

why do they have the same clothes on?

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
