I've known some people who have died from having an accident on an escalator. My 90 yr old MIL was one. She got dizzy fell and rolled down to the floor.

I'd freak out on that busy escalator!

I don't normally mind them, but elevators used to make me dizzy.

Tokyo is the most populous city in the entire world and it looks like they have the most populous escalators, too.

I wonder if Nathan also invented the hotdog??? I love those Nathan's Hotdogs that I can get once in a while.
