The plan was, Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz will fly to Moscow in fancy ariplane, come down from it on a fancy golden escalator, and go on to discuss oil market and the Syrian crisis with Russian President Vladimir Putin. As luck would have it, King Salman's shiny-shiny escalator got stuck midway while transporting him down to the ground. No matter how much the officials fretted over the machine, the escalator wouldn't budge, leaving the 81-year-old king pretty confused and helpless. Finally, with nothing else to be done, King Salman eventually started descending down the steps on foot, followed by his retinue. You can watch the viral video here:
