I recently wrote about the incredible heights of skyscrapers (Let's talk about skyscrapers) and just when I was starting to wonder, how long one would be staying in the elevator to get to the top of such a high building, I came across another article of the Wirtschafts Woche. It was stating that a Japanese manufacturer of elevator (Hitachi) is attempting to break the current elevator speed world-record of 1010 meter per minute. The new Hitachi elevators will shoot up the skyscrapers with 1300 meter per minute. So, don’t forget the ear-clearing, when you will be staying in one of those high-speed elevators.
