Therefore, if you were to hang above the surface of the Earth at the equator without moving, you would see 25,000 miles passes by in 24 hours, at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour.

In 1852, Otis came up with a design that had a 'safety brake'. He didn't invent the elevator. Elevators existed before he introduced safety brakes to prevent it from falling if the cables fail. The earliest known reference to an elevator dates back in the works of the Roman architect Vitruvius, who reported that Archimedes (287 BCE to 212 BCE) built his first elevator probably in 236 BCE.
