Global warming - an urgent problem requiring radical solution (no politics or religion)

Extra comfy to get to lie down in them too, US cities should aspire to be like that instead of the current corrupt sh**h0les that they are smh.

$200 a pop for one ride.
Your idea wouldn't work EE.
Just the sag alone would beat it. Riders would be stuck over the East River or whatever.
As a commuter thing? Ha.
Even in Dubai there was probably a lot of objection ...
Those ziplines are a hellicopter and aircraft hazard. 
A bad one.
Bigshots in downtown Manhattan fly in in seaplanes and land at east river docks.
Or they did. Maybe that's been stopped now.

I already specified there would be an initial steep drop for the first 500 feet or so off the Freedom Tower to guarantee speed, before it levels off to a more gradual 5-9 degree bank or whatever over the rivers to Brooklyn/Jersey.

wouldn't work for your part of brooklyn. Much too far.
Just the weight of the cable alone would be prohibitive.
But I already am certain enough that you don't really mean any of this stuff ...
you have an agenda something like noodles does ...

Wrong I'm only 3 miles from 1 WTC in a straight line. Doing the trigonometry 1,200-1,700 feet is high enough that it could be steep enough to cover the distance without "snagging" from friction.

3 miles would be the longest zipline in the world. You sure about this?

Why does this keep getting bumped?

Elroch can fact-check the math and coefficients of static and kinetic friction with the materials involved and the motion vectors..etc.

why do I always see you two arguin', if y'all wanna date or kiss just say it
