Sometimes you get the escalator, sometimes you get the shaft.

The injured victims will need to calm the swelling. Anybody know where there’s an ice machine?

"Dozens of soccer fans riding the escalator—most of whom were apparently Russians on their way to a game between CSKA Moscow and AS Roma—were reportedly raising hell, screaming, chanting, and jumping up and down en route to a local stadium. Apparently that's what broke the machine in Rome's Repubblica subway station, which devolved into a nightmare as people flew down the stairs and started piling up on top of each other."
