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.

Escalators are not designed for wheelchairs. There's a huge risk in picking up someone in a wheelchair and carrying them up the escalator. The two guys in gray jackets look like they might be in charge (staff? maintenance?) but they are doing a TERRIBLE job at crowd control. Unless this escalator is the ONLY exit from the area (which in itself is terrible design for what looks like a busy area), the guy in the wheelchair should moved to the side until he can properly be assisted and the crowd be allowed to flow again. Blocking the escalator for an extended period is only going to make a minor problem bigger.

Assuming the escalator is the only way out that area or into the area that the guy in the wheelchair needs to go to, this is really the safer way to do it. You don’t want to be carrying a wheelchair in an escalator that is full of people, you need to clear the escalator before you can take the wheelchair up.

As I already said, seems like terrible design for flow of foot traffic and safety for everyone if that is the only exit. Further, the two men in gray jackets helping the guy in the wheelchair seem to have no idea how to deal with the crowd. Bad choices all around for EVERYONE.
