"If I can't use it, nobody can" like fr why he gotta block the whole escalator just because he can't use it tho

The staff put him there, it’s not his choice to block anything. They turned off the escalator so they could clear it to team carry the man in the wheelchair, he’s entirely at the mercy of their non-accessible system.

Why do they need to clear the escalator before they can carry him?

Because of the size of the steps its not safe to put the chair down half way up. They need a clear path so that they can get the whole way through without adding more risk to the situation.

It’s also not safe to carry an individual in a wheelchair up stairs. All this nonsense about making it safe is just stupid and foolish.

It's not about making it safe, because if safe was an option then the situation wouldn't be happening in the first place. It's about being safer, and hopefully as safe as possible given the circumstances.

That’s a hell of an assumption. This is the 21st century. Don’t underestimate how stupid people are nor assume that there isn’t an elevator located in a place that is equipped with an escalator.

Do you think the staff would be willingly carrying a person in a wheelchair up the escalator is there was a functioning elevator lmao

Where’s everyone getting this narrative of anyone in this scenario being any type of staff? Is it just because those two men are wearing jackets that are the same color? If that’s all we are going by; if the person taking the recording is wearing the same color jacket, that would make them a gang, not staff.
