I’m sad that this place closed. That was my first time going and those elevators were amazing and I’m glad I got to see these cool glass elevators in person

[@DieselDucy]

Yeah, this was an awesome place!!

Happy 4th of July andrew🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@lou-v9m]

The classic squeaky Otis doors 😂

[@DieselDucy]

Yep lol

[@TechNerdNolan]

Really cool!

[@AlbertRohXTRA]

That is sad 😞

[@stateofeastdakotatours6662]

This thing is BIG!!!

[@DieselDucy]

It was big

I remember when you filmed record-breaking Otis hydraulic glass elevators at this location. I must say those are one of the coolest Otis elevators ever installed. I got to say this is a very impressive freight elevator as well. But why exactly did this museum close?

[@pepsicolachao4537]

RIP Newseum

[@oliver18754oliverwarders]

There’s a chair because they have an elevator operator. I speak from experience because I run freights too.

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

I went to this place back in 2017!

[@DieselDucy]

Sadly it is not around anymore.

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

Yeah. Sad to hear it closed

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

indicators are glitchy

[@jameswong6188]

Long Freight Elevator

[@DieselDucy]

Ok

[@douro20]

Let's hope Johns Hopkins doesn't rip out the unique passenger elevators...

The Newseum in Washington DC is closed permanently.

[@jonathancreveling5658]

Why did they close this? Unprofitable or COVID or what?

[@tkefan29]

This does not look very Otis-like but I suppose it is one. Very fast for a freight.

Cortex elevator

I actually had a mental breakdown here on April 4th, 2015 resulting in me getting kicked out and even also the staff calling the cops too as well. I guess maybe I did ruin Freedom Forum due to this horrible disaster I caused. I scared away everybody and that includes children. I ended up being forced into a stairwell. This is something only my New York Penn Station attacker would be happy about and find funny. I am also surprised that I didn't even continue by awful behavior on the WMATA metrorail apparently though. I guess the Newseum's permanent closure is all thanks to me. 😔

[@DieselDucy]

Im confused. how did that affect the museum closing?

[@elevatortoiletandtransitfa9258]

@DieselDucy I was just being dramatic apparently. That didn't actually cause the closure. That is just myself overreacting.

[@GaryBeltz]

Why did the elevator make that slow march time beeping at points in the video?

[@DieselDucy]

Not quite sure

[@MilwaukeeCountyElevators]

What a Chungus! lol

[@statecollegewx4060]

That is a very wide elevator. It’s fast for what it is
