An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

Escalators have two failure modes: stairs, and meat grinder. Fortunately the former is the more common of the two.

RIP Mitch Hedberg! I truly miss him! He was so funny! All his stand up had me laughing so hard! No one since has truly compared!
