Silica dessicant is not poisonous.
You still shouldn't eat it though, it's extremely absorbent and cause bowel obstructions by drying out part of your guts and getting stuff stuck.
In-laws found a litter of 5. They want to keep them. I'm on bottle baby duty as I've got the time for it.
4 boys, 1 girl. They're doing amazing.

The brakes can fail, any weight on the escalator then slams to the bottom. I'm talking about a failure, not simply turning the escalator off. Never attempt to walk down an escalator that's experienced a mechanical failure. It's dangerous.

It's scary as fuck.
I've also heard (though I'm not sure how true it is) that the motor going out can make the escalator belt go slack allowing the steps to flop to the sides.
Escalators can be really dangerous when they break down. It's better to just stay upstairs if there's no other way down.

This is why I have a giant water bottle I carry around.
