Thank God for elevators! It took me more than 40 minutes to climb to the top of Taipei 101 back in 2004 when it was still the tallest building in the world. Fortunately it has an elevator which cuts the time down to just 38 seconds.

 

I'm Andrew Ryan, and in today’s Ear to the Ground, we take a sound journey on the world’s fastest elevator.
