Loading...
Published on Dec 27, 2011 by AssociatedPress
A poor area of Medellin, Colombia now has a giant outdoor escalator. The area is on a steep hillside, and the escalator will save residents from a strenuous uphill hike. (Dec. 27)

I think that this is one of the grandest things I've ever seen a government do for it's people!! How wonderful not to have to hike up and down that hill!!! I'm very happy for the people that get to use it! I'm sure there are many more good people in this country than the bad.

Lol people, I'm Colombian and I'm proud of this project. Let me clarify you some facts: this was made by Medellin's goverment, just like the metro, the BTR and the aerial tram (and not by the Medellin's drug cartel, that stop existing like 20 years ago...) Also, this is just "tiny" project for Medellin... there are a lot of other social projects being done, like in every other city in the world. Cities are always going to be under constrution.

All you ignorant spoiled brats don't know how hard it is to walk up those barrios everyday without a leg, this escalator may be stupid but it is helping the community in a way. And medellín is a great city to live in, We are developed hardworking people overshadowed by our violent past

@545Kalashnikov LOL! Are you just trolling? Columbia is far from being a 3rd world country. Have you been there in the last 30 years? Also they put a wrap on the drug trade almost 30 years ago as well. You need to educate yourself before showing off how stupid you are.
