The video of the incident was funny before the escalator stopped:

T & wife first, everybody following them, like a slow procession, getting on the escalator when some dude walking twice as fast sees the line, swerves towards the stairs and starts going up. T & wife look at him with that look people have when they chose the wrong checkout queue: ugh, he's going to be there before us.

Only then the escalator stopped.

I bet moving around with the Orange Baby and his entourage is full of such real life comedy.

So we have to be stuck with them now? Shiiiit

You'd think heaven would have installed elevators by now. They're much safer than escalators or even stairs.
