wooden escalator

[chcknmr]

I sure hope you can't drop a lit match between step and siderail.

[margaretsville]

Oh wow. I wonder how many OSHA rules you would break if you tried to build one of these in 2011?.

[greenranger8100]

brings back memories



[Arabhacks]

Escalators by the very nature are a fire hazard, an opening between 2 floors.

Add to that the fact that you have them in series from floor to floor and the danger adds.

The real solution from a fire standpoint is to have automatic doors and a stairwell with escalators.

Elevators simply do not move enough people .

[PrivatePeterson]

you know youre bored when...

[IAmNotAFunguy]

Just got back from a trip to NYC and I got to ride those exact escalators!

[Ural43]

what if someone light it on?

[mrceleb2006]

I've never been on a wooden escalator...not too many wooden escalators exist anymore...metal escalators are fare more common nowadays.

[Murderdogs]

Nice, but a fire hazard. There was a massive fire here in London in 1987 at King's Cross station where thirty-one people died and the station was destroyed because of these catching alight.

[ElevationLowJJ]

They sure have Termite feasting on them.

[mymarci]

yeah, i saw them too, in NYC, it was in a big macy´s store.

[jordinyc]

I love it when people are all "Duuh, yeah, they had to remove them all coz it's a fire hazzard, yeah, they're gone now" and I'm like "dude, I rode them last Christmas"

[KittyandPuppy77]

i liked the part with the feet

[573W1E6R1FF1N]

Ahem, *cough* Kings Cross *cough*

[Wellingtonnews]

@573W1E6R1FF1N

Someone I know was on the next train due in to Kings Cross station. The train suddenly stopped, the lights went out and the train was filled with smoke. They were trapped for a very long time. She still can't travel on the tube, even now.

[barriobajaj]

Reminds me of the King's Cross wooden escalator fire that killed 31 people.

[csPJLadd]

I've ridden these in NYC...and there are also wooden escalators I rode on at the huge El Corte Ingles department store in Barcelona.

[foliagebomber1]

[georgef551]

I've ridden those the two times I've been to Macy's (NYC).

Never felt easy about those, being that my shoe laces might get caught. Other than that, it was definately different, and I can say I've ridden original wooden escalators.

[schreeebs]

[RMimz]

Dont you look retarded... I bet everyone there is like "Look at that dumbass filming the escalator"

[yotinjrs]

[jdgator95]

[italobambino43]

Yeah, in Philadlphia to, Lit Brothers, Gimbel's, Snellenberg's and John Wanamakers all had wooden escalators I heard, wow, those must have been fun to ride on.

[artistmac]

Wow, this takes me back to the old, narrow wooden department store escalators in Chicago in the 1960's. Flashback time!

[Nuno0614]

[Audinos]

There are a few of these wooden-tread escalators in Sydney CityRail stations.

[arie324]

That looks like the Macy's on New York. I think they are the only store in the United States with a wooden elevator.

I hate going on these escalators when I'm wearing thin high heals. There's very little surface for my heal.
