Explanation:
[STC001864] The completion of the construction of the first electric elevator and skyscraper in the latter half of the 19th century marked the beginning of an upward race that has significantly altered the skylines of many urban areas. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai currently holds the record for both the tallest building in the world as well as the elevator that covers the greatest distance. Both of these records were set in 2010. It may seem natural that the two would go together, but sometimes skyscrapers narrowly claim top records by adding a spire or have crossover floors where people can only go part of the way up on a single elevator before having to get on another one. Although the Burj Khalifa does boast an impressive spire and total height of 2,716 feet, its elevator can take people from ground level to 1,654 feet at a speed of 22 miles per hour.
