By the way are no buildings that's 200 stories tall. The tallest building in the world in Dubai. It's called the Burj Khalifa & it stands at 160 stories tall.
Forgot to tell who built the safety break mechanism. It was Otis who performed how the breaking system worked by himself. He commanded someone to cut the rope and the elevator stopped. After this, his sale of 3 elevators a year turned into 2000 elevators in the next decade because of the demonstration.
@AliJohnAfandi from what we found so far... all of history has and will never be fully discovered. Look how far back we keep discovering human existence. The earliest signs of intelligence keep getting older and older the more we explore and discover
2:53 - What an asinine assertion: "200 story tall buildings." No one has ever built anything close to having 200 stories. Let alone plural. There are a grand total of 4 (FOUR) buildings in the world with 120 or more floors. And only 1 (ONE) of those exceeds 130 stories tall. And that single one is still nearly 40 STORIES SHORT of reaching 200 floors in height. It's got 163 floors above the ground (with 2 below). I am old enough to remember when NatGeo was a reputable source of information. Respected. Because they actually cared about getting their facts straight.
Storey that George Herman Ruth was so enamored when he first saw an elevator, at age 19, that his teammates told him he was like a babe in the woods, and the name stuck.
Just taking my horse up to my bed room, top floor lol
underrated invention. We really take elevators for granted today
Truly elevator has change our world
Vertical railroad. I wonder if sidewalks will ever become conveyor belts like airports have.
They already have some of those on Hong Kong streets.
Elevator technicians biggest nightmare are conveyer belts thats why you always see those things down.

There will be.
Maybe one day there'll be a mile high tower.
Who would have thought that a common elevator operator aka "Otis" actually went back in time and invented the elevator. Brilliant!
I’m on top of the noise and smell.
A QUESTION FOR YOU ALL: min 01:30, does he say "from Florida floor"? I don't think so, but neither can I imagine what he says. Any help??

Excuse my ignorance, but at 1.24 why is the horse being lifted. I am very curious about this, could somebody give me a brief history lesson?
Horses were still used to transport materials during construction of the building.

Why is the intro/host so dramatic? It's just a video about elevators

Elevators could easily be done by water and weight. I doubt we were the first to do this in history
Explain
Water and weight? That reminds me of the RMS Lusitania.
Elevators date back to around 250 BC

This guy is WAY too enthusiastic about elevators. He has a roller coaster voice, maybe rocketships.... not elevators.
