  2. @sireyellow it was only a suggestion, more of a playful joke, but you took
    it too serious.

  3. @battlenetistehgay The north tower was 1368ft tall with an antenna to
    1727ft, the willis/sears tower is 1450ft with an antenna to 1729ft. The
    twin towers were not taller.

  4. @musicfreakcc man if i went on that elevator without holding on, i would
    have lost my balance

  5. 103rd floor, the floor that reach from the bottom in 60 seconds (1 minute)
    as it takes for the video to the 103rd floor over Skydeck at the Sears
    Tower. Lately I visit Chicago, IL this summer.

  6. Can’t wait til the Old chicago Post Office Hotel is finished, it will be
    2000 feet. Same with the Chicago spire. The Willis tower soon will be the
    new John Hancock building.

    what if you want to go to floor 50 or 60??? there are only buttons for
    floor 99 and 103… imagine walking up there.

    This is an express elevator that only stops at LL2, 99 and 103. Other
    elevators go to the office floors.

    1st of all, I love how they don’t consider this a terrorist threat yet
    Simon malls think the worst. Also what are on floors 10, 20, 30 etc.?
    ————-
    Simon malls= #1 photography haters. I’ve heard a bunch of bad stories
    mainly about security forcing people to delete videos. I thought that was
    the worst, then I read this… PHOTOGRAPHERS! Boycott Simon Malls: They use
    ILLEGAL tactics to enforce their No Photography policy
    Talk about at least 3 if not 4 illegal things that Simon did!

  9. +Elevation Productions by musicfreakcc Do you know this elevator is too
    fast to make people dizzy or something?
