opposed to not. It's kind of like if you're going around the blind turn in a car, most people would sort of pump the brakes a little bit as opposed to accelerating around the blind turn, if that's a metaphor that makes sense to people.

A safety relay tripped, immediately cutting power to the motor. The main brake clamped down on the metal drum to stop the descent of the stairs, but, it failed. The friction on the main drum wasn't enough to stop the motor from spinning, and the stairs continued to accelerate.
Tests after the incident showed that its braking force was far too low, around 37% of the manufacturer's specification. The weakened brake struggled to slow the spinning motor and the escalators downhill acceleration continued. This is when the last line of defense kicked in.
With half the system unable to engage, its stopping power was cut by 50%, just enough for the weight of all those passengers to overpower the brake and render the last line of defense useless. Investigators knew that these failures should have been automatically recorded in the error logs, but when they went to check, they found nothing.
And the Jaguar engineers found that, of course, when you were going 100 miles an hour, you didn't need the cooling fan at all. And it took 14 brake horsepower just to drive the fan when it wasn't needed. And so they put a cross-flow radiator in and an electric motor with a fan on it.
