Revenge of the Escalator

[Lstormy10]

Funny video from a Japanese convention center where 20 people were injured (not severely - worse was a broken leg) when an escalator starting going in the opposite direction of what it was originally going. (in simpler terms, it stopped going up and started to go down when loads of people were on it).

Nice one, too bad for that old guy though.

I find the massive crowd of Japanese people funnier though.

Kevin Smith pointed out the dangers of the escalator years ago in "MallRats". Yet people still need things like this to realize the real horror that the escalator is. When you least expect it, BAM! You're all easy prey.

You would think that at least one or two of the 500 people on that escalator would know how to exit a descending escalator. :confused0054:

I so wanna remix the audio and video to include Godzilla or Gamara, a hysterical japanese woman screaming and clutching here face and the roars of One of those bohemoths getting ready to lay down some giant japanese monster pain. Hmmnn I have the technology, can i get past my laziness now?

And the Japanese CSI guys taking pictures on the escalator were pretty funny too. Oh, they'll get their bad guy.

The old dude wiping out was just sad. It just goes to show old people shouldn't be allowed to drink.

Wow, that's funny, one of my friends told me about that last night, as well as some mega-mall in china just straight up collapsing (http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ASIANOW/east/12/02/china.collapse/index.html)...
This seems to happen a lot to me...


lolz at the old man, another reason to me why some old people should just die/be killed, natural selection...

[PandaBear Assassin]

lol wow. That was like the E2 tragedy but on an escalator lol.

I want a blu 'investigation' jumpsuit.

I used to live near the Maplewood Mall where this (http://wcco.com/topstories/I.TEAM.escalator.2.363148.html) happened. Pros, I'm sure you recall.
