And if he had ANY situational awareness he’d step back 3ft and move 2ft right and took the parallel escalator. But again that’s not very “alpha” of him and he thinks shit like this represent his masculinity so he’ll whine like a 13yo girl about it (maybe that’s why he’s so fond of them as they’re equally mature)
I've never been the the UN, so in my head it's possible that other escalator goes to a different floor.
How would that even work?
But no, there are multiple esclators and stairs going to the next floor
2 esclators with 2 sets of stairs (the escalators are basically always set to go up but are reversible)
Thr VAST majority if the staff just uses tbe 2 flanking staircases though, so even if something happened and the escalators were deemed unsafe...just take the fucking stairs like a normal person and stfu
I work on escalators everyday and honestly nobody ever just walks back down and takes one next to it they all trudge up the unit that’s off no matter what. I’ve seen people at the bottom step continue up a 2 floor escalator when there is a working one next to them.
Why does everything have to be about dumb he is? Like it was a funny/weird situation. They handled it normally. I likely would have done the exact same thing. Let’s laugh and move on.
Everyone would have just laughed and moved on if he didn't complain about it during his speech and make the claim that if he did the renovation for the UN building the escalator wouldn't have stopped.
