Those Speedy Japanese!

I’m so jealous of the Japanese. They have new maglev elevators that travel 670 miles per hour!

The maglev elevators will be quieter and more comfortable and will travel 984 feet per second—not as fast as the company’s conventional lifts that move 3,314 feet a second, Toshiba said.

Wow, the conventional lifts move at a whopping 2,259 miles per hour! I have got to remember to ride on an elevator if I ever get to Japan. I just hope I don’t forget my Dramamine.
