The elevator ride at the World Trade Center tour shows you the architectural history of New York.

There are full length screens on each side of the elevator so the 360 degree video view surrounds you.

The view changes depending on the time of day and weather condition.

I was expecting the elevator to drop and start to burn

Went here twice. It's really beautiful. But if it's the view you're looking for, I think Top of Rock is way better.

They actually do something like this at the top where they do a quick presentation which then drops away and gives you an awesome view!

Bad taste, but does it break down when it gets close to the top? Or does the view turn all orange-y?

whether you say you like this joke, or that it isn't funny, you still get downvoted, wtf is up with imgur lately.

It's a hive mind, you delete a comment with -10 downvotes on the FP you can come back to it at -20 when no one knows what it said.

"God is greater" is often used in the same situations people say "oh my god" in, so you're probably not wrong.

Sorry to hear that. Must be very hard around here with everyone claiming to "cope" by making jokes about 9/11.

10 years ago | Likes 85 Dislikes 12

Can we just stop yelling at people for making jokes about things like 9/11 and the holocaust. It's just fucking dark humor like the rest.

There saying it must be hard to cope with the death of a loved one, with all the dark humor going around. Not that the dark humor is bad.

This is morbid curiosity but were you able to talk to him like by cell phone? 9/11 was the first tragedy I can remember in which cell phones
