  • that thing must be at least 10m/s it has a 3 floor slow for god sakes.

  • More like 10 floors! The elevator started decelerating before it passed the 43rd floor!

  • The wachovia building in roanoke has these fixtures and they are touch sensitive with the exception of the do dc and call bell. anyway looks like you could get a view from the 53rd floor as i saw daylight.

  • There is an office right there, so I chose t stay in the elevator.

  • what does l, ll, and EZ mean?

  • Lobby, Lower Lobby, Express Zone

see all

  • oh god i used to have to go to the top (law office) for courier deliveries...these used to be so fast my head would get woozy after a point

  • no way. 8th floor is the highest i'd go. getting sick up there and my knees keep on trembling. .... hate high buildings cause of that.

  • Very nice elevator, and musicfreakcc, did you see any of my videos?

  • I love those lobby doors. You got some nice skyscrapers up there.

  • I wonder what the motor horsepower of these beasts are.

  • how do you get into these buildings, dont they have turnstiles in the lobby?
