ESCALATOR: A moving stairway consisting of steps attached to a A continuously circulating belt.A continuously moving stairway and handrail. The escalator (see illustration) transports a continuous stream of passengers from floor to floor. Usually speed is 100 ft/min (0.5 m/s); slope is standardized at 30°. Steps ride on resilient rollers running on tracks; endless roller chains propel the steps, the chains being driven by sprockets and a worm drive. An electric motor at the top of the escalator provides the motive force. The direction of travel can be reversed in accordance with the flow of traffic.
The key phrase is continously MOVING. Stairs do not continously move. So an escalator can in fact be broken.

Actually in most malls and public places with escalators it's security's job to deter people away from a 'broken' escalator. They are very dangerous. Therefore they can become broken. Not to even be used as steps.
This is another announcement of stupid thoughts for the day.

incredibly they do destroy as escalators -- they now not function as escalators. Which i comprehend you comprehend. Now there are particular circumstances while they won't be able to function as stairs the two because of the fact the metallic products that are the "stairs" of the escalator have chop up.

WRONG
The tracking can split in the middle and stop it being anything
And anyway, if it becomes stairs it is no longer an escalator SO IS BROKEN

But before it becomes stairs, it could collapse and break. Also that might kill a lot of people...
