The new elevators at 1 World Trade Center in New York will give riders an incredible view of the city like they've never seen before. As you ride up the elevator, you'll be treated to a time-lapse panorama that shows the history of Manhattan as you ride up the elevator. Reuben Hernandez of the New York Times got a video of the time lapse, and it's pretty incredible.
Here's the video, which starts in 1500 and goes until 2015.
The video shows you what New York looked like during the Revolutionary War
Or at the dawn of the 20th century
You can see what the city looked like when the Twin Towers were first built
And what the skyline has looked like in recent years
You can check out the story at The New York Times for more information about the video, and the idea behind it.
