World's Tallest to Have World's Fastest


Taiwan will not only be able to boast of being home to the world's tallest skyscraper later this year, but the fastest elevators as well. Taipei 101 -- a 1,667-foot tower of steel, glass and concrete due to be completed in Taipei in October 2003 -- will have elevators that can lift passengers one kilometer a minute, project managers said on Tuesday.
