Chicago 060605c: The Skydeck

The express elevator whisks me up to the 103rd-floor Skydeck (http://www.the-skydeck.com) in less than a minute (max speed: 488 metres per minute). A short video plays in the elevator to while the time away, or maybe to distract nervous passengers?

Too bad, the ride is not as smooth as the Petronas Towers or the Tokyo Metropolitan high-speed elevators.
