Has there ever been any airport whose moving sidewalks all worked at the same time?

This is a serious question.
I don't think I've ever experienced a situation where any single airport has at any single point in time in its history had all of its moving sidewalks working simultaneously.

Nope, not in the history of mankind.
Also whilst we are on the subject of moving WALKWAYS, what part of walk means "stand, preferably blocking as much of the WALKWAY as you can whilst staring aimlessly at your fellow passengers who are running late to their connections?". Grr.

I guess we could just agree to call them "travelators" like they do in the UK.
But whatever you want to call them, please don't anyone block my way on one. I have even less patience with that than I do with people who block me from walking on escalators.
Stand on the right; that's all you have to do, and we'll all get along!

Hmm.. I have to say I haven't encountered one that isn't working at HKG yet..
But indeed, please WALK on these WALKWAYS! (or stay by one side without blocking anyone)

XNA, but it's kinda cheating as it only had (has?) one; advertised as the first one of its kind in the state of Arkansas.

Yes it would. At ATL in the transportation corridor, they actually have a looping announcement asking people to "please stand on the right to allow others to pass."
