  • Why did not the machine room door locked ?

  • Jaws of Death sounds just like that!

  • Elevators are scary!

  • Ugh I really despise elevators. Ever since I was little I was terrified of getting stuck. And its really unnerving for me to ride in an old one because its more likely to shut down. However, the elevator your riding in the video, one would have to force me in lol

  • Was the machine room unlocked the whole time or did you have to ask permission or something to see it?

  • My camera only lasts for 3 seconds!

  • I like your videos!

  • Now that's amazing, for GE motors to use 10 horsepower minimum, 40 maximum. Nowadays, to accomodate higher capacities, they now use up to 100 HP.

  • my camcoder has a different low spot. the battery lasts for about 70 minutes. it has memory for more recording though. its a jvc evario.
