"The 508 metre tall building in Taipei's Hsinyi district is 56 metres taller than the previous record holder, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. The opening of Taipei 101 - a reference to the number of floors - was attended by local dignitaries keen to bask in the glory of one of Asia's most ambitious engineering projects ever. As an opera company entertained the crowd, the world's fastest passenger lifts whisked VIPs 1,010 metres to the 89th floor observation deck in just 39 seconds. "

Something don't jive with these figures. The building is 508 meters tall, with 101 floors. Yet, the 89th floor observation deck is reached by 1,010 meters of elevator travel.

Taipei 101 either has the worlds most ineffecient elevators. Or the 89th floor exists in the 5th dimension.

I believe that the elevators travel sideways also. I am not 100% positive but I recall a discussion about it and can't remember if it was about this building or one that is being proposed.
