He's still living with the aftermath of 9/11 ..... humour him, he stays for a few days and then goes away again, often for months.

Aluminium. It would take the temperature up to the correct level to melt steel. Basically an incindery? Why no escape on the corners of the building? An H> between two poles holding safety line as people descend.

Some of these buildings are so tall I doubt there will ever be safe escape routes from top floors if fires star somewhere in the middle

asail and parachute, simple. I still think a 6 inch stair rail that a grav clamp (climbers clap that lock in crevices when weight is applied) can run freely as You decend on all the outside corners of the building would work well. especially for smaller buildings 3 story plus. cars needed to be redesigned with crumple zone when seat belts stopped working. they could have also deployed helicopters for people trapped on the highest floors.

They'd have needed a massive fleet of helicopters for such a rescue to have the remotest chance of success, and not only that the updrafts and thermals caused by the intense heat would have made it extremely risky for the chopper pilots.
