Ack. This is only going to increase my vaguely phobic fear of escalators, just in time for all that holiday season shopping at the malls! And I love how they specify it was a moving escalator, as if the stationary ones could rear up and have their evil way with you.

2am? That's an odd time for people to be at the mall. Thats sad though - I see teens and kids try that all the time.

The fourth floor is where the bars are, and bar close is 2:00 a.m. in many places in Minnesota as of this year. Everything else would have been closed.

I am not one to pity someone for their own foolish mistake. Thinning the herd, I say.
