They really outdid themselves now, didn't they?

A few weeks back, we showed you what the elevator ride up 1 World Trade Center would be like, and boy, did it take our breathes away.

Well, thanks to this newly-released video below, The New York Times has now provided us with an even more epic preview of what the elevator ride down 1 World Trade Center will be like for riders...

"During the descent, the glass-walled cab seems to slip out entirely and float earthward in a great arc before re-entering the building through windows that slide open to receive it."

Talk about one hell of a ride down, right?

Check out the video below for the next best thing until the May 29th observatory opening.
