CRAZY FAST AND SCARY Otis Elevators @ Marina City - Chicago, IL.

These were long due for a retake ;)
These things are fun as hell. They’re 61 floors and 1200fpm, combining with the fact that the floors are super close together makes it feel even faster. Many residents here don’t fully trust these elevators. I’ve heard stories that these get stuck all the time. That doesn’t surprise me! These things are something else.

Nice

[@user-uj5ly1eq5n]

Surprised that it’s modded by TK because usually TK is one of the reliable elevator brand.
