That brief moment when they show the original World Trade Center towers breaks my heart every time I see it

[@frensunited3748]

when?

[@suejoshappy]

Easily some of the best high speed elevators out there. ThyssenKrupp did a stellar job with these.

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

I agree, I was very impressed by how well they ran

[@MirkoMazzoni2000]

Feels futuristic.

[@NWIndianaElevators]

LOL, I would get a video of these elevators myself (as I did when I visited NYC recently)! They were some of the fastest elevators that I've ridden!

[@norcalelevators]

Hell yeah dude, these things fly! There’s another set of 2000 FPM elevators that are Otis somewhere in Manhattan, however I don’t think those are accessible and are very hard to ride them

[@bayareaelevators]

Probably Central Park tower?

[@smallTownElevators]

Agreed@@bayareaelevators

[@YouBlox-rd9cc]

Yes, that is Central Park Tower. I would really love for someone to go and film them.

[@Dana_Danarosana]

Amazing!! Still, there's the epic size of what used to be here... those massive shuttle cars that could move 400,000lbs @ 1,800ft/min. Also, 4:30-4:35 here gives me chills!

[@PAelevators]

I love how we were all filming 😂 also I think they we’re monitor

[@cubsfan5734]

even the elevator is theres a camera on the top right

[@NeilPrasad_1905]

Installed in 2014 actually. Building opened in 2015.
Even voice is CE

[@statecollegewx4060]

Awesome!

[@nguyentruongminh4722]

And when go down, why it is at floor 100 instead of floor 102 after we going up

[@Freedom_Tower_bc_yes]

Bc you have to ride an escalator down to the observatory (which is on floors 101 and 100)

[@user-zc1zq7cl5t]

The loud noise while driving is the sound of the rollers rotating in the guides?

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

To be honest I didn’t hear anything over the loud video they were playing lol

[@Bus68]

Jdam😊
