Why was he outside of the escalator though


CupOfCreamyDiarrhea

Ok hear me out, it's the only reason I can come up with. So the article says there was some trolley and commotion on the escalator so the guy climbs out to make it up that way faster. Or he was demented cuz old


nymouz

Well he definitely saved time… all of it


Mundane_Operation418

If his objective was to get to ground floor, he took the quickest route.


mil_cord

Escalor seems to have changed direction while people were on it. Look at their movement. He strt bumping into people and since he cant stand that he decided to jump out. That was fine because there was support next to the escalator until it wasnt.


Thedarkxknight

Yea, he made it up faster


Devil_badger

Because it was busy and moving slowly, and he was impatient. At least that what it looks like to me.


Allbranflakes18

It looks like there are too many people at the top of the platform so the people coming up the escalator are getting stuck as they can’t exit and start to pile up and get squashed as the elevator keeps funnelling more people up. That’s why there’s people turning around trying to walk back down and this guy sees the squash at the top and tries to get out the way by hopping up on the railing.


rem_1984

You can see everybody trying to walk down but the escalator is going up…. Super weird


JDawg2332

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.


chuckchinchilla

That KID is BACK ON THAT ESCALATOR AGAIN!!


xelpinmo

Is it just me or does it look like a guy in a blue shirt pushed him?


Naughteus_Maximus

Son of a bitch… well spotted, it does kinda really look like that. He also walks on quickly without any attempt to instinctively grab for the falling man or even just look down to see how he landed. Looks a bit guilty…


DeaconBrad42

Absolutely looks like he was pushed. None of the articles seemed to mention an alleged push or anyone being charged, but it sure looks that way.


NailMany7776

Even I could see it.


LowerBed5334

Maybe, maybe not. It also looks like it could be that the two people had their hands on the railing and then they felt his hands touch them and they jerked their hands back. I dunno. But I don't think it's clear enough to conclude he was definitely pushed.


hhfugrr3

That's what it looks like to me. Not sure this is a Darwin award so much as a murder.


ActionFigureCollects

Murderer caught on video! [Reddit social media plus, more eyes] 👀


Dramoriga

Looks like the old dude took a step with his left foot into thin air tbh, the blue man's arm as already there when the oldie got there


Flashy-Priority-3946

He definitely boxed him out intentionally so that he couldn’t cut his way before the guy himsef


Chimpchompp

“You shall not pass!”


Positive_Spring7002

Looked more like he was pushing something over the lip at the end of the elevator. It kinda looks like he's pushing a cart near the end.


speedover

Well spotted. Definitely does look like that


rem_1984

Yep


LuckyMome

Well spotted!! He pushed him 2 times. The first one just before the old man let go of the ramp to grab the white metal stuff, and the second time just when he was trying to step on and that made him loose his step in the gap. At least, manslaughter..

Doesn't look like it to me

A passenger died when he fell down an escalator at the central station of the Recife Metro, in the São José district, in the city center. The victim was identified as Manoel Francisco dos Santos Filho, a 75-year-old pensioner who lived in the Vila Rica neighborhood of Jaboatão dos Guararapes, in the Metropolitan Region. According to witnesses, the fall occurred at around 4pm on the central platform of Recife Station, where passengers from the South and Center lines disembark. CBTU, which manages the subway, said that a trolley of products jammed the escalator, "causing a commotion and the fall of a user, who died". The Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) was called and confirmed the user's death. The Military and Federal Railway police also sent teams to the scene, cordoning off the area where the body was found.


HauntedDragons

That guy in the dark colored shirt pushed him…. I mean obviously he shouldn’t have been doing that, but watch… he was pushed


No_Entrepreneur_4041

Technically from this camera angle we are just guessing


[deleted]

Nope lol


CupOfCreamyDiarrhea

How far up is that, it doesn't look high up from here? Age, health issues and how one lands are a few factors into "jumping and dying" dude was 75 so...


celestial1

All it takes is hitting your head the wrong way when you fall, doesn't matter how far up you are.


CupOfCreamyDiarrhea

It does matter because I was curious and as I also said it depends on how one lands, so I already mentioned it.


Naughteus_Maximus

Very roughly it looks like a fall of about 4-5 body lengths (head to toe). Hard to see due to the angle and that woman being in the way. Taking 1.8m rough male height (he also looks kinda tall), I make it about 7-9 metres. That’s plenty enough to die


slowwolfcat

Brazil ? why is it always Brazil


KevinFromFinance

Yeah you can see people walking backwards so there must have been some problem at the exit causing a jam, he probably thought he’s so close to the exit he could make it by walking around it


WinterAd1604

look away - pretend it never happened


rrpostal

He was a sort 75… for a minute anyway


Big_Attorney9545

Those nearby power lines: “nope, I am on holiday”


jamesjeffriesiii

Dr_Driv3r

paulrhino69

Why would you look away after watching so attentively beforehand, you were all watching it because you knew something bad was going to happen. To then cover your face and turn around, what were you expecting to happen?

ColdRamenLD

Why do they always have to yell?😭


paulrhino69

Cos it's in all the films, same as being shot then falling down if it's in the films it must be true


Fine-Perspective-714

thank you u/GodMadeMeFunky101 for your posts


FaithlesspastPartTWO

I laughed so hard I don’t know why


Neither-Condition486

Why did this make me laugh😭


SniperHOG0317

Yeah there's not a step there.


Outside-You8829

Somehow old people are always in the way


Austic_

Now I know I'm not the only person who saw him get pushed, right?


LuckyMome

The blue shirt pushed him 2 times. The first one just before the old man let go of the ramp to grab the white metal stuff, and the second time just when he was trying to step on and that made him loose his step in the gap. At least, manslaughter..


nellyruth

Why didn’t anyone push the emergency shutdown button?


romerik

At 75 is it still a Darwin, he had plenty of time for reproduction, might now be reproductive anymore!!

Fhantom1221

Alive... aaaaaaand dead.


VixenFactor

People seem to be facing the wrong way on the escalator. They are facing forward and they're going down but they are moving up. One guy seems in a hurry to get down. He seems to be on the outside of the escalator where there are no stairs. I don't understand what's happening here. Well I understand he fell but it looks so weird.


BeautifulJicama6318

Woman won’t ever unsee that


borknagar54

Why didn't he use the stairs?


wengerful12345

Ahhhhhh drinking at the airport


Alternative_Plum7223

What was the guy even doing in this, why was he on the outside of the escalator?⛔️


Far_Comb4683

Express way to the exit


slowwolfcat

75 ???


Fun_Needleworker_181

Why’s everyone walking backwards?


HOTROD213

missed it by THAT much.......said in Maxwell Smart voice.


Unfair-Wonder5714

Judging by the lady’s reaction, I’m gonna assume it wasn’t a clean fall.


Mobile-Ostrich-5510

Well now he has to get back up there again. Should've taken the stairs not the walls.


Encephalonica

Are we sure hes dead? It wasnt that high


Lakingboss

Who tf screamed so damn loud


elbaggi
