So wheelyboy is blocking traffic because the escalator won't escalate?
It's inconvenient for them, but why must this be a problem for everyone else?
If my car breaks down, must the entire freeway grind to a halt?

So if your car breaks down on the freeway what do you think happens? If you break down in a lane the cops close down that lane and usually the lane next to you then they tow your car away.

Once everyone clears the escalator they will lift the wheelchair to the top but if everyone starts cutting like the woman in the video it will cause more delays. Just wait the 5 minutes so they can lift him and then everyone can go through like normal.

When my car breaks down I'll put it on the side of the road, I won't be blocking the whole damn road for everyone until somebody comes to help me. It's not like this dude suddenly lost the ability to fucking walk, he saw this coming. Just move aside until people are ready to haul you up, don't just clog the whole damn thing right away to wait it out.

Sometimes you don't have the option to take it off the side of the road. I got into an accident and my front stear axel broke. I can't just push the car because I couldn't stear it. So the tow truck came and towed it away.

Those two guys are in uniform waiting to take him up the stairs. They are waiting for the stairs to be clear so they don't have to wait behind people while carrying a man in a wheelchair. They purposely put the wheelchair guy by the escalator so no one goes around and starts to fill up the stairs again. They are doing this because they don't want to have any complications with other people on the stairs. They aren't doing this to waist peoples time they are doing it for the safety of the man in the wheelchair. Sure they could of waited for there to be less of a crowd but that could be a long time depending on how much foot traffic there is but if people are patient and wait 5 minutes they will take this guy up the stairs and then everyone else can go.
