An escalator is a moving staircase, a conveyor transport device for carrying people between floors of a building. The device consists of a motor-driven chain of individual, linked steps that move up or down on tracks, allowing the step treads to remain horizontal. Ironically the man who 1st invented the escalator fell off one becoming paraplegic, since this incidentall over the world paraplegic people have used escalators to transport themselves. I just thought i should take a photo of this one.
LOL. I wonder if this should fall in the same category as the folks who put barricades in front of escalators turned off for the weekend to save electricity at the World Trade Center station.
it reminds me of the people who call in for tech support with their computers. They call in before they try ANYTHING. The first question is: have you tried turning it off and then back on. Usually the answer is, no
The comments are entertaining to read about this video. To many people not getting the message that this video is trying to portray about humans in society. "OMG YOU CAN JUST WALK UP THE STAIRS!" No shit sherlock, thanks for making an obvious statement.
this was actually used as an inspirational video today by a person. He said, and i quote, "we laugh at them because we are watching them from a different perspective. we aren't in their shoes, with their frame of mind. Isn't getting stuck this way what we do so often in life? Often, to an outsider, it is obvious that we can just walk up. Yet we wait for someone else to come and help us. We claim ourselves to be "stuck", when others can see that we really aren't."
@27Offspring27 That's actually pretty accurate. Why should I have to walk? The gov't should give me free escalator repair! And pay for my wages lost while stuck on it. And my kid, if he's 26 or younger.
@ClubPenguinGuy1994 "These days?" People have always been lazy. How about Elevators? I'll bet you'll find more people taking an elevator than they will a set of stairs.
Wow that happened to me once. I was stuck on an escalator for 25 days. It was a miracle I survived without food or water, but as soon as the S.W.A.T. team arrived, they took me and my friends to Village Inn to celebrate.
this happend to me. i was riding up the all of a sudden i just stop. i only had a water bottle and a bigmac with me. I was stuck on the escalator for 18 hours untill i finally hear the swat team arriving. i was so happy when they rescued me. i was so bored on that escalator. now i have the fear of going on them. i hope it never happends to me ever again
Yeah, that's why they rarely make anything of themselves, always following morons like Al Sharpton and his ilk, and not standing up for themselves. Think before you post a reply.
@mrKANYEwes b/c they're trolls, and cant think of a comment that isnt over used. that or they have names w/ texas in it, and we all know that 'only steers and queers come from texas'!
Read the message at the end! It's an advertisement for heart health...which means that you're better off walking up the stairs for heart health. It's not meant to be a stupid/funny message. It's meant to show you how we, as people, have become accustomed to thngs that make us lazy!
This just shows how people think, they are stuck in the box and are afraid to step outside to see what else is out there waiting to change their lives.
Reminds me how sometimes we as a people get so use to doing one thing so great. We master our everyday rhythm and enviroment and grow accustom to one specialize behaviour, without exerting any kind of effort we limit ourselves from progress and become a prisoner of our own success. Once the stranded people on the escalator open their mind they will realize its just as easy to walk up the stairs than ride on the broken escalators. ~ Ingrhe1@FSCJ
Yes 'olololol' at the stupids who don't just walk up the stairs manually. But then at the end, they advertise winning a personal trainer, a dietician, AND a 'life coach'. FUCKING FAGGOTS, if you really knew how to help yourselves, you wouldn't need all those BULLSHIT people 'training' you.
@ If2net It's a parody of how democrats rely on the government's help for everything, such as health care and welfare. Spend some time learning about politics and you'll find this hilarious.
And I don't get why other people who don't understand this are laughing.
popsicles2, spend some time learning about politics and you'll realise that siding with one party makes as much sense as siding with your favourite football team. No party/team wants to change the status quo, all they want to do is win.
I think it's time YOU spent some time REALLY looking at things. Why the fuck do you think things never change in politics? No, don't answer. Just think about it.
oh my fgod. we watched this in social studies, now i'm in 6th grade, and all of the immature idiots (everyone) in my class was just shouting at the screen "just walk up!!!!" and i couldn't hear shit. i was just like "THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU SO SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!"
HAHAHAHA.. It's sad but true.. we as a society are becoming lazier and lazier and depending more and more on technology to get us around. Let's show a lil ambition and start using stairs, etc. We are killing ourselves with convenience.
its to show that People have become to depent on Technology that they cant think for themselves. For example Texting they think phones are for texting and forget u can call Voice for a simple response,rather then being stuck cause the phone number wont text back only take calls.
