Sabotage is not trivial when it stops the assassin's target from moving.

Sabatoge? You're sounding every bit as ridiculous as Trump himself.

And yet, with the multiple attempts aready made on Dear Leader, the rear guard neither moved to extract a potential target from the choke point nor went into head on a swivel mode looking for threats. Rather, he stood there as though everything was playing out according to plan.

You mean when the First Lady nearly face planted on a metal step because some sick-in-the-head Trump-hater deliberately timed the stop to injure her?

Your video says it was caused y someone triggering a safety feature. That's not a hoax its human error.

LOL... they want the gullible cult to believe it was just another one of their coincidences...

Eh, it's not favorable to him. Not sure it's even news at this point.

Actually, UN people were hinting at this action of turning off the escalator and the teleprompter, before Trump's visit. They're pissed he cut their budget.

That's bullshit. She didn't budge an inch. Because she was holding the handrail like people are supposed to do. Donald just had another one of his faux freakouts.

Richelle McCaskill-Diaz, who has worked on elevators and escalators for about 30 years, said the stoppage showed the system may have worked as intended.

"An escalator that's well maintained should not expect breakdowns," McCaskill-Diaz said. "All the safety features that would shut off an escalator usually are [there] to prevent a disaster from happening."

She said escalators have have what is called a comb impact switch that is meant to stop an escalator and prevent it from moving forward if something is stuck in it.

"If, in fact, somebody had tripped or had actuated the comb impact switch and it stopped, it did exactly as it was intended to do," she said.

Rauch agreed that if something triggered the upper comb impact switch, it could indeed shut off the escalator.

He added that, from seeing the video, "it did not look like a very hard stop at all."

Translation: Baffle 'em with safety jargon that is intended to disguise the fact that an employee was standing by to stop the escalator just as the First Lady stepped onto it.

Trump's videographer was on the upper steps standing backward while filming them. His foot probably activated the comb impact switch. That's a better explanation than anything you've come up with so far.

Hahahaha! You just proved that you don't know how these work.
0 ups, 1mo
Nope. But you most certainly just proved you don't know how an escalator works.

"Is it comb plate or combplate? It seems the industry can’t make up its mind on this term. You’ll find it listed both ways across the industry, and even listed both ways in the same document!

Regardless, the comb plate impact device is a very important safety feature of an escalator, and has been required per ASME A17.1 Safety Code since the early 1990’s. Detection of either vertical or horizontal movement in a comb plate is vital for the safety of the riding public.

KONE Spares has two different upgrades for this device, and a tool to make sure this feature is adjusted properly — no matter what brand or model escalator you’re working on.

For older Montgomery HR Series escalators which don’t have the comb plate impact safety feature, we have a kit to add it to the escalator: Comb Plate Impact Device Upgrade for Montgomery HR Series Escalators

For Montgomery HR Series escalators which do have the comb plate impact device feature, we have a reliability upgrade: Escalator Comb Plate Impact Device Spring Reliability Upgrade

And if you’re working on any escalator with a comb plate impact safety device feature, we have this tool to help you adjust it to proper spec: Escalator Comb Plate Impact Fixture Test Kit

We can’t stress enough the importance of a working, properly adjusted comb plate impact safety system on an escalator. The health and well-being of the riding public depends on it."

You haven't proven anything, least of all your sabatoge theories.

The First Lady nearly face-planted on the escalator? Really? Let me guess: you haven't watched the video record of the incident and are repeating what you've been instructed to say.

Nonsense. She barely moved an inch.

There was no attempt to harm her. You have yet to prove anything.

Proving is what the investigation is for . . . and it IS being investigated.

No it isn't. They've already found the cause. The only ones "investigating" are Trump's animals.

No they heard the rationalization but now they are going to investigate until they discover if the rationalization is actually what happened or if it really was deliberate sabotage designed to injure the First Lady.

Yeah, leave it to Trump to spend taxpayer money on something that stupid.
Paranoid much?
2 ups, 1mo
There have already been two failed leftist-generated assassination attempts on Trump. This is facing reality . . . not paranoia.
