French transport engineers do it again. Remember when they bought a fleet of trains too wide for the train stations? Now Paris train stations have a bunch of escalators with steps to wide for the machinery. The term “French engineer” is becoming an oxymoron.

Hey France, I have a great idea....just tax all your millionaires at 75% to pay for this.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
And this. It wasn't me! I swear!

Seattle, no big surprise there.
Thanks for the heads up on the huffpo link. Being forewarned, I clicked with caution and read real fast....with a minimal loss of brain cells.
BWAHAHAHA!!!
Are you SURE it wasn't you?
When you work a 7 hour day, 4 days a week, and get 8 weeks of paid vacation yearly, all the while having your cigarettes and wine subsidized, you are going to have a difficult time building anything other than a fat belly and a buzz!
Ahhh the french, making mankind look like apes for centuries!
They just might be the missing link!
Leave it to the French to find away to screw up an escalator.
Next thing you know, the stairs will stop moving.
The French haven't designed anything worth a crap since the Guillotine. Hell, they used to join NATO long enough to steal the designs for equipment, then get out when the membership bill came due.
You forgot about the French tanks. 1 speed forward and 5 reverse.
And the country's flag on the side drawn in chalk that can wash right off.
I've had to work with Airbus planes. I really believe that they are designed and built by a class of fifth-graders.
The French don't impress me much.
I won't fly in an Airbus. A friend of mine is a former boeing engineer-he says no Airbus is safe to fly in. Not a one!
I think you meant fifth-drinkers with a glass
And who can forget the new "pride of the country" terminal the french "engineers" added to the paris airport that collapsed on it's first day.
And our troll loves France..apparently she feels smart when she is there...
She's so smart I'm surprised they let her come back! /sarc
She's standing at the bottom of the escalator, waiting for it to start.
Speaking of stupid .......
