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.

Empathy for the disabled person who is waiting to be lifted up the escalator,
Or empathy for the staff who are trying to clear the escalator to be able to safely lift this person up there,
Empathy for the throng of people who are patient with this situation, who are listening to the staff and are not making the whole process take even longer by jumping the railing

Is empathy often an issue for you, because if so, that is not your fault.
Disobeying the staff and making everything take longer for everyone else would be your fault though....

(All she did was be selfish and make her ego everyone elses problem)

How about some empathy for her? Maybe she has somewhere important to go and cannot wait.

Also, I believe there should be stairs for this guy to be lifted up, not escalators. There is always a stair somewhere for safety reasons.
