THE FILM WAS FOUND! And the finder will be claiming their bounty! Thank you all for looking!
What if I wanna see the movie too? Lol
Send the link queen 😭
Also want to watch this apparent beaut of a film... Link?
Link pleeeease
You can't just not show us
“This building is so ugly” Huh, looks like something I’d make in Minecraft
“She recreated it in Minecraft” yup that tracks
It looks like the tall structure building hotel thing my friend or her little brother made out of glass and netherite blocks (in creative, of course)
Lol i was gonna comment about how it looks like something id make in Minecraft then like a second later shes like she built it in Minecraft
It looks like a tall rubix cube

If being "poor" means living safely on the ground then i will never aspire to be 432 park avenue rich.
being poor also means you get to eat the rich.
@@ddjsoyenby more like spam and ramen
yes but if rich people's buildings fall on you, is it really safe?
Before anyone tells me buildings fall straight down, I bet this building would snap and fall like a domino
@@ddjsoyenby cringe

I laughed way too fucking hard at this video. Imagine spending millions of dollars for a home and it sounds like a bomb is going off every 15 minutes.
That part killed me
Pretty sure you can get a house for cheap af in an actual war one. Complete with real bombs. These rich fucks could have saved alot of money.
They’re buying the units to stash cash, not to actually live there.
So basically this building is the Fyre-Festival Version of Skyscrapers: trapped in an isolated location, where everything's wet from the water and there is no free breakfast.
The one person trapped in the elevator: “We are chained in :)”
As an architect it BAFFLES me how people don’t consider what they’re designing and how it will affect its surroundings.
Like isn’t that the JOB
I think they do, but just don’t care
From what I recall he has a habit of designing buildings that don't work and/or cause hazards for tenants and people in the surrounding area.
El cochino dinero, tú como arquitecto sabes que se gana muy mal y los mejores proyectos se obtienen por favores políticos, nepotismo, ser hijo de rico, etc. ¿Tú de verdad te piensas que les importa?
Is there no possibility to take away a licence (do architects have licences??) from that guy?
Another thing about these types of expensive apartments is that the people who buy them often don't even live in them or rent them out. They're just left empty, as investments. Especially in cities with not enough living space these types of buildings are infuriating...
Tokyo residents would be baffled in the extreme.
That's what happened in China. They built a new city to decompress the population density, and sold out all the apartments... and barely no one lives there.
Lot of foreign nationals stash their money in condos in desirable locations.
That should be a capital punishment crime.
An empty apartment building is forever grande...
I love the concept of a building that concentrates sunbeams into a death laser and redirects and focuses the wind to a point where it can knock people over. All buildings should be constructed to wreak as much havoc as possible.
I can't endorse this comment, but I like it!
it’s just super funny how that building exists only to be used by elites while simultaneously causing chaos for regular people on the street
She didn't even mention that one time when it MELTED SOMEONE'S CAR
Sounds like a building dr. Doofenshmirtz would make on purpose.
@@Milkmouse1966 *say hello to my laser-building-inator!*
sorry i’m not good with names
I'm a New Yorker and let me just say this building is even more than an eyesore in person. I remember when it was being built and it was like a middle finger slowly rising up.
A middle finger is going to quickly rise up if they keep this architectural style in fashion for much longer
I distinctly remember hating it when I visited New York
New life goal, make enough money to build five buildings that form a middle finger to the city it's in.
@@frigginresulrum if u use this one u only need 4
Totally, I used to work where we could see the skyline from our desks and that building when it was finished sticks out like a wart. No character whatsoever and no design at all.
The walkie talkie building in london couldn't only fry eggs, it literally fried a car and caused fires in the stores in front, carpets out of nowhere just going in flames.
*A Series of Unfortunate Events intensifies*
Same thing happened when the Disney Concert Hall opened in downtown Los Angeles. The surface was reflective so it was giving pedestrians heat strokes. The city forced the hall to sand down the walls to remove the reflective coating.
yeah it was literally like melting the plastic on the cars. they had to place a parking restriction on the street in front to not park there for specific times of day
I’m pretty sure I saw it melt a bike seat in a video I watched about it
Sounds like a job for The Doctor! 😂😂

“Kaaaaachow-“
... entrapment in a broken elevator in a swaying building on Halloween night. This has to be the ultimate scenario.
Me, a Londoner: haha what a silly New York building, almost as silly as when the walkie talkie melted cars!
Amanda: the architect of this building also designed the walkie talkie
Seriously who keeps letting this guy design things?!
MELTED CARS?????????
my brain is going "!!!!!!!!!!" like no thoughts just alarm
@@minadorissa if you pause the video, the article she shows actually mentions the car melting!
@@minadorissa yes. It's because how the shape of the bldg. is angled. It creates like a magnifying glass effect

From "lmao people have too much time on their hands" to "I will tear this building down myself if I have to"
"Entrapped" in an elevator, 70+ floors up, with the cable bouncing around wildly, on halloween night, for over an hour. I would have died. Panic attack induced heart failure.
For real!
The fact that it was on Halloween -- you can't make stuff liek this up 😵 I would've died right up there with you, omg!
I would have probably loved it. But I'm a freak.

Lol there’s no in between, either living in a billionaires high rise with elevators that can snap at any moment or living in a shoebox studio that’s definitely not up to fire code standards
Fantastic comment 👏.
@@TheMonicaAlison if it makes you feel better, the millionaire's building aren't up to code either.
that building looks exactly like how i draw tall building when i was in kindergarten, just draw tall rectangle with a bunch of squares as windows and im done
i knew i should've been an architect :/
Missed opportunity
*LMAO*
I need us all acknowledge that Viñoly has designed TWO death ray buildings. The other one is the Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas. That building also had to have a non-reflective film put on it.
WHO KEEPS HIRING THIS GUY TO DESIGN THINGS???? It seems like all his buildings are death traps or safety hazards
I think this guy is secretly a super villain!
My sister worked on the 82nd floor of a building and pretty regularly they were sent home early because high winds were going to shutdown the elevator so they sent people home rather than expect them to walk down the stairs
Damn 😬
But imagine walking downstairs after your shift, fourty floors in and remembering you forgot your keys.
I would just get dizzy from walking the stairs. used to live in an 11 floors high building and the stairs were arranged in a circle. after 5 floors I would get dizzy and stop for a moment.
@@kariissmol9172 would only happen once! 😂
@@solala1312 I used to live in an 11th floor and when the elevator stopped working or electricity went off (happened really often) it was awful to go up the stairs, can’t imagine doing the same in anything taller
Hi I live in NY and I feel like we should get income tax from the distress caused by this abomination
I agree
Imagine living on the last top floor, the elevators don't work that day so you have to go down by the stairs, once you reach the ground floor you search for your car keys only to remember you left them in your apartment...
PLS
I'd be legit afraid of starving to death up there.
I'd call an Uber
It's not like they're gonna be late to work
Then you remember you are a billionaire and your chauffeur is waiting for you. You don't keep your own keys. You haven't touched the wheel of your designer car in 15 years, ever since you ran over an entire family of black people while drunk-driving when you were twelve years old and didn't go to court. In fact, THEY went to jail for it.
I can’t understand the appeal of living on such a high floor, just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous
Imagine the view!
Seriously. I’m getting nervous just watching this.
@@girrrrrrr2 Id be too busy worrying about the ground than looking at the views!
Well nobody probably "lives" there. Owning one of those apartments are more of a status symbol. Most people who own the units don't actually live in them
Status. It's just status. It's expensive because it says it's expensive and therefore it has status
I feel like I would have to live in this building for the sheer fact that that is the only way I wouldn’t have to look at it.
Lmao very underrated comment, you've got a point there
its the tour montparnasse of new york
@@magnolia8903 "the best view of Paris is from the top of the tour montparnasse because it's the only view of Paris where you don't have to look at the tour montparnasse"
Isn't that basically what Gustave Eiffel did?
@@camille6910 I thought it was Guy de Maupassant
Ok... as a fresh graduate of Structural engineering, I got angry halfway through this video: this architect is the sole reason I have to do environmental science units as a student who was only supposed to design structure elements. Wind tunnel effects and light pollution is such a problem that the entire industry is now training people not to do it and yet projects with forecastable issues still got green light
About to graduate with an architecture degree and I can confirm we all hate this building too. Architects like him care more about personal profit than good design, and don’t take the effort to think through the consequences of design decisions.
As an architecture student who was born in the same country as the designer of this building I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
What exactly are the consequences of an architect creating an Archimedean death ray and hurricane force winds in London's financial district or creating fyre fest tower for billionaires in New York city?
Seems like he's giving some very deserving people a lesson about amoral capitalism.
Reminds me of the Verruckt tragedy.....
Oof, I've seen that building before and assumed that it was a corporate building office because of how drab it looks. You're telling me people are paying millions to live in that building!?
Looking at this building makes me feel so nervous. like... I don't trust the structural integrity of this building and it makes my palms sweat it's so scary.
Imagine cleaning those windows. Just imagine the death-defying feats required to clean those rich jerks' crummy windows for the apartments they hate.
@@Otter34 Oh man, don't do that to me. The thought of the building itself swaying in the wind is scary enough, but then swaying from a dangling thing off of the side on top of that? Yeah... no thanks, I'd rather just lay on the ground.
@@02u4 That's probably safer than using the elevator. :D
majority of the strength of a high rise come from the lift shaft... its technically called the core which contains the lift shaft, fire escape stair and utilities like piping and wiring. Those two floors she was on about at 8:10 are called outrigger which are mainly just trusses spreading the load around. They're there to help with lateral and axial loading. Yeah they typically put HVAC (A/C and heating) as well as water pumps/tanks since it's not liveable. lol the building is not really out of the ordinary it's just thin... which imo makes it pretty swingy in the wind. although structural engineers have design it to minimise that swingyness, its just contractors making the good old shortcuts and cost cuts.
Are your knees weak? Arms are heavy?
I hate this building so much. If you have ever been to Central Park, especially Sheep Meadow
that building sticks out of like a sore thumb and ruins the view.
Is there a view of anything in New York? The media makes it all look like nothing but buildings.
@@katenz100 even buildings can be pretty. it has a city vibe. so it depends if you like that. however, there are more neighbourhood areas where it's at most 2 story buildings and those areas are nice in a uniform type of way. there are also some parks which have a nice view with decently tall but not corporate tall in the background with some trees and I think that is nice. so it really depends on what you like, and where in NY you go. this is based on when I've visited family there tho. I don't live in NY
@@ggundercover3681 I sort of more meant from. Central Park. Should have specified.
@@katenz100 ahhhh ok. my bad
Go to Chicago then, we’ve got the prettiest skyline anyway.
As someone living in NYC I can tell you a good number of units in buildings like this are bought and sit vacant most if not all of the year. Usually they’re bought as part of a business move and it’s bananas
😩
Gross lmao eat the rich 🔪
Here in Maine 1/5th of all the houses are considered “vacant” because they’re vacation homes that are occupied for at most like 3 months out of the year, if that. But at least people _go_ to them sometimes jesus christ
B-A-N-A-N-A-S!!!!!
Yeah, wish the video could make more of a distinction between ‘owned’ and ‘occupied’
Me going into this video: How can someone hate a building? That’s just a bit extreme.
Me 15 minutes into this video: This building is the stuff of nightmares. I’m having a panic attack just hearing about it. I hate it with a passion.
It took you 15 minutes it took me 9 Holy fucking shit, its disgusting
To my fellas worldwide:
1400 feet is almost 427 meters
Thank you
Thank you

This thing is. Almost half a kilometre long. I hate rich people.
before the pandemic I used to go to new york for day trips pretty often and I always was bothered by this building, I thought it looked like a french fry. I can confirm it's even worse in person it looks like its gonna topple right over
My immediate thought was 'breadboard' (a board used to test circuits before soldering everything together) and that was enough for me
Right? I dreamed of visiting New York my entire life and finally did a couple years ago. Not saying that looking at this building ruined my lifelong dream, but I'm not not saying it either.
Being "entrapped" in an elevator on Halloween night sounds like the most terrifying Twilight Zone-esque fucking situation
I would be absolutely convinced I was about to die
cool concept for a short film or animation though
tower of terror origin story
Right
"An Architect's dream is an Engineer's nightmare"
The Architect designs the building and the Engineer rips it to shreds
WAIT I lived between NYC and NJ for 4 years and every time I looked at the skyline I would think “what the hell is that and will it ever be finished?” Only to find out now that it is finished and just as hideous as you would expect
The billionaires? I don't care about their living situation. But that restaurant, the housekeeping staff, maintenance, mechanics... they're working class people. And this building being unsafe for THEM is what matters.
THANK YOU!!!
I care for every human who has goodness in their heart
@@DivinesLegacy billionaires become billionaires by exploiting the labor of working class people, so how much goodness can there really be in their hearts?
@@JadeGarza Billionaires are only billionaires because they’ve created something for society good enough that you have to pay for it, they put in a load of work organizing people and people want to work for them and get paid to, I understand that there could be a better system out there but currently this is the best system. That creates the most inventions and innovations.
@@DivinesLegacy not true most of them haven’t created shit and just stay rich by dipping their toes into financial investments
"Stuck" is like you're walking down the sidewalk, but now you can't move because there's gum on your shoe. It sucks and it's kinda gross, but you'll get out of it.
"Entrapped" is like there's something keeping you there, the four walls are closing in around you, and you'll never see the light of day.
stuck: a little frightening, she was fine and it was like 3 minutes of not moving
entrapped: death is now on the table, anxiety is your god
anyways kudos to that women because i would have passed out from a panic attack. I cannot imagine being stuck that high and just hoping i don't fall and also am not stuck there too long.. eugh
My theory is that those death trap apartments are gifted by rich people to the relatives they dislike, as a prank
💀
Like a white elephant!
Lmao
Or a easy place for the rich to dump the bodies...... no wonder the trash shoot sound like a bom-
i want so strongly to never go above a 10th floor for the rest of my life. just chilling here on the ground, where humans were meant to be
Same. I’ve only ever lived in small towns where the tallest buildings are four stories. I can’t even imagine being on the 10th floor of a building. So, what the hell is it like 90 floors up.
Just the thought of living so high gives me anxiety
Yeah, after watching The Penthouse I know for sure that I rather live in a one story shack then risk falling off a 10th floor balcony and to my death. It wouldn't even be a graceful fall, the building is so hideous not even a fly would dare die there.
i dont think people belong that high up without being in some sort of aircraft...i had to live on the 8th floor of a building for a couple weeks once and i did not enjoy it..
Update I just jinxed myself cause I got assigned floor 11 in my college dorms
God this was hilarious for me to see because a friend of mine ran a tabletop rpg campaign set in NYC and this building was used as a dungeon where we encountered the main villain so I can’t help but feel like all the structural damage was our fault somehow, cosmically.
if you took this thing down you'd have done everyone a favor
as a Chilean, that building gives me the chills. I know there are no earthquakes in New York but still.
There actually are earthquakes in all 50 states including NY. Not as bad as california but they happen
As another chileano I agree lol and I live in LA so still get little earthquakes here and there.
y yo aca odiando el Costanera Center
There actually are tremors, though very rarely. About ten years back there was some seismic activity and it made a bunch of tall buildings vibrate like massive tuning forks.
Fun stuff.
On the US east coast we traded earthquakes for hurricanes and blizzards unfortunately.
Oh my god the death ray building guy was allowed to make another nightmare
Why was he given such a big project again after his huge fuckup?!
give him more projects...its good content haha
Some people aren't cut out to be architects, but they still do it anyways
YES YES!! I've hated this building since it was under construction! I once walked 20 blocks in freezing temperatures just to glare at it up close. That trip actually revealed something really interesting. The concrete ledge goes about 1 foot out from every window. So every winter, 5ft long icicles form on all the window ledges and they have to build a scaffold and makeshift plywood covered walkway to stop the billionaires getting skewered by massive ice spears.
This is the eye witness information we need to hear about the hidden realities. 🤝
We need a working class hero to 'forget' to build the plywood ledges one year
Lmao, that’s WILD!!
I can barely handle driving on the highway in windy conditions, just imagine sitting on your couch and feeling the building blowing and screaming.
i cant even go up a ladder if its steady. no way in hell am i VOLUNTARILY LIVING in a swaying building HUNDREDS OF FEET FROM THE GROUND
That building is a horrific blight on the skyline--I think it's actually quite sad. New York and many other beautiful cities are being marred by terrible architecture and money-hungry developers who will throw up anything if it makes a profit, all while worsening the longstanding issues of housing affordability in these places.
I feel like TikTok is slowly taking over the "random and unimportant info that I will still not forget" part of our collective minds with stuff like this
the app is designed perfectly to expose you to content you didn't know you wanted until you saw it at which point you become momentarily obsessed.

Please please please expand or give me resources. I must know

Ahahahhahaha freckle
I witnessed this building being built floor by floor though the years and was waiting for the design of it to come to life. It never did, its like a bad joke on the entire city. I think in the years to come it’ll become iconic just for the irony it represents of excess in technology and money still not being enough to fend off tasteless rich people’s influence on our society.
Easier said (by POOR PEOPLE) than done (by Rich people). Let's wait until you're rich first. While many of the rich people were having sleepless nights working on their ideas, businesses and investments, the likes of you were busy sleeping, Bing watching Netflix, getting drunk and having sex. Now you want to EAT the rich? Screw that! As you've laid your bed, so you lie in it. Smh. Instead of hating the rich, use your imagination to solve a problem and build a business around your solution.

How to experience the Poor People way of living : Rich people version.
Leaking? Check. Unsafe building? Check. Elevator stop working frequently and you got trapped inside? Check. One single sad restaurant that you're forced to go to because there's no other restaurants want to be in poor people area? Check. Noise all round? Check. Neighbours start to get on each other nerves and start fighting? Check. Uncaring and downright greedy landlord? Check.
This is how the rich people experience what its like to live as poor people, but with thick wallet and expensive building that look like a 5 years old kid designed.
Honestly instead of prison, they should send billionaires prisoner there. We all know they got fancy treatment in prison anyway, might as well just send them to fancy prison outside but hell inside.
The swaying building thing is actually really cool. In case of an earthquake a building that is build to be able to sway is going to be more likely to survive since the movement is distributed throughout the building and keeps it safe where much smaller buildings might crumble. its the same reason Taipei101 has a massive pendulum in the building. kind of awesome that people really thought of something like that that feels counterintuitive. A lot of pagodas back in the day were also build like that.
Funnily enough, the example I have in my mind whenever someone mentions old architecture that have a pendulum that sways to counteract wind is the Bellsprout Tower in Pokemon
I mean, yes, buildings must sway to survive earthquakes, but this one is so ridiculously tall that it sways CONSTANTLY
@@Alek.17 yeah i'm not defending this hell building, I'm just talking about how buildings built to be able to sway are a cool physics thing

@@danang5 they "fixed" it by hanging ugly tarps over the side of the building
@@alysasorrell8252 anti reflection tape
Worked at a catering company that was nearby, and some of my regulars came from that building. None of them have stayed in there for longer than a year. This alone told me how shitty the building was.
“They don’t just have money, they have ‘fuck you money’ and ‘hide the body money” idk why but that line gets me
My father legit had an issue with that building "messing up the skyline" that he took to his grave.
A few years ago when we had an extreme heatwave in the UK the walkie-talkie deadass melted a stationary car
I love this building because it seems to be making billionaires miserable.
Second this 😂 People actually live in these units haha
Same
What's even more baffling is the architect, Viñoly, who designed the solar death day building in London. That wasn't even the first time he ran into that issue. He made the same mistake years earlier for a hotel in Las Vegas which had a similar solar glare problem.
Doing it once is a mistake. Doing it twice is part of a master plan to put stove makers out of business by having people fry and cook food under your giant magnifying glass (that shall be referred to as building for legal reasons)
Death rays only hurt The Poors, so, working as intended
How is this man still working as an architect? How was he not sued for all the damages his monstrosities caused?
Doing it once is just bad design. A simple solar study and wind study during the design phase would have highlighted most of the issues. Most design students probably could have told this guy his building was terrible
I Las Vegas? That's a true problem. London is never sunny anyways.
Ngl my biggest, burning question when it comes to massive buildings like these...... how long does the elevator take if you live on floor 95? I need to know these things.
Typically theyre pretty quick. Not exactly the same, but 1WTC's tourism elevator (just goes to the top) goes about 20mph.
They have faster elevators than the ones that only go a couple floors like at the mall etc,
Online it says the lifts do 2000 feet a minute
I did the math and you should be able to go from ground floor to the top floor in just under 40 seconds which isn’t too bad.
Lived on the 40th floor of a high rise for a few years. The elevator ride only took ~30-40 seconds.
Was sometimes spooky cuz it would move so fast that the doors would shake...
sometimes I have odd dreams about the elevator... but eh.
Even with a 1-second-per-floor speed, you are talking about a minute and 35 seconds. Not that long of a ride I reckon.
If anyone's interested, every building over like 6 stories need to sway a little bit. Skyscrapers positively need to sway, otherwise they would snap and crumble, though even with inertial dampening some buildings are poorly optimized like this gross stain in the history of architecture.
Exactly, you need a little sway, otherwise rigidity and external effects will fuck you up
After the horrifying event in Miami this week, all I can think about is this building… Holy shit I’d be 1000000% more terrified to live here than I already was and I Imagine these units are going to be IMPOSSIBLE to sell now 😬
What happened in Miami??
@@BreMue Surfside condo collapse. It killed 98 people and many more were injured. The main problem in buildings like these is poor design, corners cut to save on materials and other costs associated with the construction of the new building, and lastly failure to maintain the building. As years go by failure to maintain causes the buildings structural integrity to fail and that with poor design and cheap construction and it is only a matter of time before a catastrophic structural failure will happen.
@@alpha7927 wow what a horrible tragedy, dont know how I missed that in the news. Hope there is not a repeat 😥
That’s all I could think of when watching this

“We’re gonna rock down to Electric Avenue” are the lyrics to that song

Imagine having $18+ million dollars and this is what you choose to buy. I can't with the 1%.
Why can’t they just enjoy living in one place and staying at a hotel like the rest of us.

You left out the best part! It's not even on park avenue, it only claims the address on a technicality because there is an associated property that is on park avenue. The whole thing is a lie.
Being "stuck" in an elevator means that there was some kind of malfunction which can be fixed.
Being "entrapped" implies that someone (or something) does not WANT you to get out.

When I was working for the census, I was on the Reddit forum and the New York City workers talked about apartments like these. Allegedly these are empty apartments and the management doesn’t want the city to know these are empty. There are other allegations that they wouldn’t let the census workers conduct their business so higher ups in the federal office had to collaborate with these management offices to get accurate counts. The security was insane allegedly according to a redditor, who claimed that once they got into one part of the building there were 7 more doors with key card requirements to walk across the other part.
Honestly tall buildings like that give me so much anxiety, I have nightmares about being in buildings that look exactly like that right as they’re losing support and falling to the ground
If I were a billionaire I would have extremely large single story houses cause money can't cure acrophobia.
As a Brit, seeing that the architect is of the 'Walkie Talkie' building makes so much sense. People have had their hair singed from the condensed sun rays, let alone vehicles being damaged
Oh look a scam in the construction industry? Strange, would have never guessed...
exactly. The whole thing just feels like a giant money-laundering scheme to me.
I remember when 432 Park Ave was being built and everyone in the surrounding building being absolutely fed up. A whole part of my mom’s office space at 450 Park Ave just straight up doesn’t get any sunlight anymore and the years of construction forcing everyone to get noise cancelling headphones. Even before it was fully “built” people were pissed about it.
Its kind of weirdly comforting to me to know that billionaires are living in scary death trap slums, but they're big and have a hoity-toity address so they're somewhat wasting their money on these homes. Shitty housing, the great unifier.
These new super tall skinny buildings in NY are ruining the skyline, I thought I was the only one who hated them. It creates this obstacle in the view, so weird, and they probably destroyed a historical building to build this like they always do. I saw a video some months ago about another skinny building being built next to Central Park and how debris would constantly fall from the construction, once a piece of metal almost killed a waiter that was working at an Italian restaurant down the street.
god its even a problem with shorter buildings too. when i was in elementary school they were constructing a 30 story building on the corner, theres another building in between the school and this new building thats maybe two stories, debris fell ALL the time past the other building right into the playground, we literally couldnt use a majority of the playground because it was too dangerous.
When you started I was thinking "Does it melt stuff like the Walkie-Talkie?" and then lo-and-behold...there it is!
You mean Wallie Scortchie
I’ve worked in property management, in high rise condos for four years. The number of issues that can occur are insane. Take a neighbor three floors above you with an issue with their fridge. They have a service company come out multiple times to check. Each time they pull the fridge out then push it back in. Now, the people in the floors between you and him are only living there part time. One day you notice a leak. Management, aka my company takes a week to figure out it’s this guy’s fridge water line because the refused access. You now have thousands in damage same with all the other units involved. This is a true story.
Next, you have a new neighbor, their excited to move in and hire good friends to help. Well, in the process of moving a couch they whack a sprinkler head. This sets the sprinklers off on the whole floor which causes a flood in four floors of the building. Oh, and these units, about the price of a home in the area, you just have a quarter of the square footage at best.
I have so many more stories, but the moral of the story is: I would not recommend high rise condo living.
a required 15 grand a year to have access to a hoity toity restaurant and breakfast isn't free? I'D RIOT!! that's insane.
As someone who wants to be an architect I can tell this building Had 5 whole minutes of forethought before they made 10 floors and copied and pasted it
if i were trapped in an elevator a thousand feet in the air with the wind whipping around it ON HALLOWEEN, i would be certain i’m gonna die
Thank you for hating this building so we don't have to! 🙆♀️
Nah, the joy is in hating it with her
I think we should hate this building so much that we collectively buy a unit and use it as a Swell Simps for Amanda fan club headquarters 🙆♀️
I just want to go to 50 years to the future when this building unavoidably morphes into a Judge Dredd type vertical ghetto. It'll be ironic as hell.
It won’t though, the whole reason it’s made for billionaires is they are the only people who can afford to maintain it...
@@Aron-ru5zk Yeah, but what if they choose not to?
As someone from a peaceful, rather small city in Canada, I’ve always wondered how different do LA and Newyork residents need to be built to survive those living conditions.
Fun fact they believe people who thrive in New York City have ADHD and had chaos in their childhoods
@@gringa978 *immediately moves to NYC*
@@gringa978 i cant imagine how much sensory overload I would get from any of those big cities 😭 would probably get panic attacks there
New York and LA are very different. Much of LA is single-family homes.
@@gringa978 Can confirm 😂
Her voice, her tone, is like a balm, a form of entertainment on its own
She sounds just like Sarah Shauer
@@mollymattingly1459 i LOVE Sarah Schauer. Amanda doenst burp as much tho. Or at all. Different styles.
@@RicardoMoralesMassin very true, very true 😂
Are we not gonna acknowledge the fact that the elevator entrapment was on Halloween? Yall just imagine for a moment. The wind took out the elevator and someone was trapped alone in there on Halloween for an hour and a half.
Who would WANT to live on the top floor of that building? Imagine if the elevators broke. Every second in that building I would fear for my life.
not to even mention travel time... you get out the door at breakfast time and get out the front door in time for lunch
Imagine having to move into a penthouse on floor 92 like the level of stress is unbelievable
Or a fire? There's no way to get down those stairs in time. I'd just fucking wait to die
i want to live in a high rise :D, yes call me a weirdo
As a New Yorker all my life I can confirm that the wind noise freaks me out. My anxiety makes me think that we'll be flying in the air in like a minute. If I heard the elevator cables make a sound because of wind I would just disintegrate idk that's super scary.
I live in NYC but I live on the second floor of a building that’s only 12 stories and in the 18 years I’ve lived here I’ve had like two problems! That’s it! Meanwhile these people are fucking SWAYING IN THE WIND in their elevators 😂
432 park ave looks like the architects just watched their kid build something in Minecraft and was like yeah let’s make money off it and I’ll take credit
Am I the onlyone that noticed the person being "entrapped" in the elevator was on Halloween evening? I hope it was the ghost of Karl Marx

@@fruitygarlic3601 ahahah
i HATE this building. these supertalls ruin the ny skyline and like are so unnecessary.
this and hudson yards fr, like build affordable housing in our city not this!!!!!!!
the three dislikes are from the architect but through different accounts
I can't think of anything more terrifying than being trapped in an elevator in an absurdly tall skinny building while the building is swaying around in the wind so bad that it's shutting down services, AND it's halloween
Watching this in my basement suite feeling boujie knowing it won’t snap in half.
I went to that TikTok to make sure, she also brought up the I-4 Eyesore in Orlando.
And, of course she has. . . That building Should. Not. Exist.
its not even close to completion it's a fucking nightmare. at least it isn't causing damage to anything though
And It's only 18 stories. But it's 18 stories in the middle of swampland where 98% of buildings don't surpass four. It's probably one of the biggest true boondoggles ever.
"The trash chute sounding like a bomb - how do you fix that?" Hear me out: pillows. Pillows at the bottom.
Or nets?
Imo to make it not make a huge bomb sound, instead of a straight trash drop, spiral it, like those children's slides in park playgrounds lol.
@@sweetpeabee4983 lol I support this idea lol
the sound is probably from the trash hitting against the sides of the chute as it goes down, theres pretty much no way to fix it besides like sound proofing the entire chute
@@dandarcy2539 yeah I'd wager you're right, I've dealt with trash chutes before, and you don't hear it hitting the bottom. Just entering the system, and the weirdly heavily sprung doors they sometimes have can catch you off-guard.
As someone who works on skyscrapers for a living this building genuinely creates a physical response from me
I swear scamming your way to the NYT Bestsellers list is how you get on the NYT Bestsellers list.
You’re so underrated 🥰
I love your videos! I was actually recommended to this channel after yours got me through eating disorder and ptsd/trauma treatment!
I just came from one of your videos, how crazy!!!
“Entrapped in an elevator” has some real Saw vibes. Do you want to play a game?
