    I was searching for “MCO (as in the airport) elevators” when this was recommended! Never figured I’d stumble across this! My dad worked here when he was Global Services Director for FMC Technologies! He eventually moved to another building in chicago when FMC Technologies spun off and became JBT Aerosystems in 2010 or 2011. He retired in 2012 (iirc). Sadly my father passed away suddenly in January of this year (2022) from cardiac arrest while blowing snow. Rest easy, dad! This (first) view’s for you, chief!

    Lol, Coconut Mall at begining, I love that!
    That is a very cool elevator system! Double decker never disapoints. That indicator showing how the double decker system works is probably the coolest feature these elevators have in my opinion.

    0:51 The Aon Center looks quite a bit like the old WTC in the lobby as well. Look at those lights.

    Wow!! Those things look wonderful. Schindler has been really impressing me lately. They are at the top of my favorite for high speed elevators. TK and Otis are right behind.

    The Aon Building does resemble the original Twin Towers but it is not the same architect who built it. There is a half-sized exact replica of one of the Twin Towers that is 52 stories and 667 feet tall in Tulsa. It was built by the same architect who built the original Twin Towers.

    The lobby and building design looks too much identical to the twin towers lobby it's almost scary and nostalgic I wonder if a survivor would have a emotional time going into this building

      WindyCity Boy2808 gaming and more no problem haha. It’s an elevator with two cabs on top of each other. Like there’s one cab above and one cab below it that travel together.
