    @dirtybacon: Man, there's not a year goes by- NOT A YEAR -that I don't read about some escalator accident involving some bastard duck that could've easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent, conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator!

    Are they evil ducks? Because if they are I can see movie possibilities. We already had Snakes on a Plane, now we have "Ducks on an Escalator!"

    It pains me to see the local wildlife sink to the same levels of stupidity of the 13 year-olds that do this at the malls.

    Am I the only one that thinks this is horribly depressing to watch? :(

    Of course the ducks won't go near the people, but they can't exactly get up the escalator either.

    Perhaps it's my inner PETA (but really I hate them so).

    @iceicemaybe: Not depressing at all.


    No one is making them do that. If they thought really hard about it, they could probably come up with another way of getting to the top of the escalator (I won't spoil it for you; you can figure it out all by yourself too!)

    @Geisrud:
    Ducks aren't sparrows. They kinda need a bit of a running start to get airborne, and they're clearly not going to get that by hopping up stairs that are moving down like that. Wanna try again?

    Talk about getting nowhere, fast. Good thing they are ducks. I was tossed out of the Smithsonian (when I was 15) for going UP the DOWN escalator. Security guards have no sense of humor.

    Needed more vader breathing noise. Also, it sounded more like Arnold Schwartzanager than Chad Vader.

    Chad Vader rules my world. I wonder if he's ever attempted to order the Penne ala Arrabiata at the Death Star cafeteria. I hope he does.
