Escalator Accident!

[Furtherman]

This morning in NYC's Port Authority I saw a woman at the bottom of an escalator standing with a cop, a PA guard and a friend. The cop has scissors. It seems her long dress got stuck at the bottom of the escalator. It was a thick, winter dress so it didn't rip off her.

So there she was, stuck, while everybody walked by her. I felt bad. But also found it funny.

Anyone have an escalator accident story? Or an elevator story?

Years ago, I responded to an aided case at the old Alexander's Dept. store on Fordham Rd. A 3 year child has two of his fingers mangled by an escalator!! Tell me that's funny?

Ok, here's my funny escalator story.

About 3 years ago, I was working for INS, assigned to the American Airlines terminal 8. After people are processed, they go downstairs to Customs. To get downstairs, you can either take the escalator, or the stairs next to the escalator. So, this old woman from Haiti comes in, processed fairly quickly, and off she goes. Not speaking French, I just point towards the stairs.

My friend sitting next to me tells me to turn around. When I do, I see this woman terrified of the escalator. She would put her hand on the rubber rail and freak out as it pulled her arm. She'd pull it back, and then try her foot on the step. Same, she'd yelp when her foot started to go away from her. My friends heckling her, saying stuff like "Beware the magic stairs!" and such. So she musters the courage to try it. Instead of just stepping on, she decides to leap an have both feet land on the step at the same time. She over shoots the step and tumbles all the way down.

Now, a couple of Customs guys were watching this from down below, laughing as much as we were. Fortunately, they hit the emergency stop so that her arm or leg didn't get caught. But what I love about this is, if the escalator scared her, why the hell didn't she take the friggin stairs NEXT to the escalator!?

I'm surprised she even got aboard the "Iron Bird" in the first place. Was there a "horseless carriage" waiting for her outside of the terminal?

when i was in high school, i was at the jefferson valley mall one night, going up the escalator, and somehow, the toe part of my shoe got caught in the escalator and started pulling at me. i was lucky enough to get my keds off. the whole escalator stopped, and my sneaker was sticking out of it. i remember the security guy bitching to me, "you know, you broke a $10000 escalator." i replied something like, fuck you, your $10000 escalator almost caused you a lawsuit.

I saw a fat lady who could hardly walk step onto an UP escalator, fall down, and continuously roll down as the steps kept going up. A bunch of us helped her up after we stopped laughing.

Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent--I don't care which one--but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator!

Laugh at me if you want, but...
When I was very young, I went on a school trip to NYC. I lived in a rural neighborhood (Amish Country, Penn.,) and had never seen the "majik stairway" before. I feel much pity for that poor Haitian woman...
I wanted to take the stairs, but my lovely teachers decided to push us up the escalator... One classmate started to pray and cross himself, another vomited after getting off...
I burst into tears and wet myself.
The funniest bit was the teacher who'd pushed us onto the escalator got stuck, her dress got caught and she lost her footing and got trampled...

Here's my story...

When I was in my freshman year of college, myself and 2 friends thought it would be a good idea to do a bunch of shrooms and go see the re-release of Star Wars in the theatre (Crossgates Mall in Albany, for anyone that is familiar, HUGE escalator). Anyway we get to the mall, bugging pretty hard and get on the escalator. However, the escalator was broken, so everyone was just using it as a staircase. We though, thought it might actually be moving and just didn't know any better. So there we stood, very confused for a good 45 seconds at the bottom of the escalator, while people walked around us, staring strangely.

Two weeks ago I saw that someone had a full on collapse on a Port Authority escalator. It was stopped, and the guy was just lying face down in the middle of it. Looked in bad shape. Too much fun at happy hour.

In Kings Plaza mall (Brooklyn) in the Sears about 3-4 years ago, an old lady slipped on the escalator and lay on the up escalator upside-down on her back, she wasn't hurt and actually said "I can't get up" in the same voice as that old commercial for Medic-Alert or whatever it was.

She rode it about halfway up before a security guard hit the emergency stop button. She was screaming lawsuit before both feet were upright, it was damn funny.

On a sadder note a kid fell through the escalators, the space in between, and died on the same set of escalators about a year or so after that, definitely not funny.

Old cranky hag screaming always funny, kids dying never funny.

We better put a stop to this before things escalate.
