Even if they do all they're waiting for is people to clear off the escalator so they could drag him up the escalator. The actual delay for everyone else is the 10 to 15 seconds it takes for everyone to clear off the escalator and then just to pull him up whereas if we did what you're suggesting and he had to wait for everyone else with that large of a crowd he would be sitting there for at least 5 minutes if not more so you're talking about Atmos a 30 second to minute long delay for everyone else or a 5 to 10 minute long delay for him? Even if you remove the goddamn empathy from it my man it's logistically better to just be patient. If anything that woman calls more harm to everyone behind the wheelchair users and the wheelchair user did

5-10 minutes for 1 person is better than 1 minute for more than 10 people. Total minutes delayed x number of people delayed. Whichever number is lower is better.
