The death trap elevators at the Sheraton NY Hotel & Towers in New York City. All of the elevator cars smacked against the shaft wall when traveling, but that created a nice cool breeze in the cab. And at least the MT chime wasnt loud!

  • What is that noise in the backround?

  • Thats the sound of the crappy elevator smacking the cab wall.

  • AWESOME elevator !!! I like the LED call button.. That is a very fast elevator..

  • Yes, I think its awesome as well and I do like the LED buttons, but this elevator is a slight death trap because of the shaking, but it is fast indeed.

  • Do you hate or like that they're death-traps?

  • I really dont like the death trap, but the death trap makes the cab nice & cool with the breeze.

  • Monitor Controls braille plates.

  • No, its not my camera, these things really are rough and crappy, ride them for yourself and tell me right. But at least my camera doesnt delete videos on me.

  • part of the problem is that jon has a bit of a crappy camera

  • You aint seen nothing yet, rough and breezy, at least the smacking of the cab against the shaft wall keeps passengers comfortable.
