Temporarily stairs, sorry for the convenience
Came here to find a Mitch Hedberg reference; was not disappointed
RIP Mitch
I very much appreciate the correct use of POV.
It's clearly fake, it's the inside of a building and lights are on.
How would you fake a photo like this! There clearly is no movement, no doubt about that!
Can't the escalator like flatten out or something awful, when it's without power?
No, this particular escalator does not include emergency slide mechanism, although this would've helped OP in such troublesome situation.
Wouldn't that take ... like ... power?
No, but that would be very funny
You're right they don't flatten but the brake does have to engage to stop it from behaving similarly to a manual treadmill
escalator temporarily slide
