Freedom Tower Features Attack Precautions
NEW YORK (AP) - The newest plan for the Freedom Tower at the former World Trade Center site features a more bomb-resistant design pushed well away from the street and incorporating heavily protected elevators and utilities.

It also has the original design's extra-wide emergency stairs, a dedicated staircase just for firefighters, enhanced elevators and "areas of refuge" on each floor. Stairs, communications, sprinklers and elevators will be encased in 3-foot-thick walls.

I wonder if they could install one of those spiral slides next to the stairways for for faster exiting during an emergency situation. No offense, but when an airplane slams into a building where I work, I want to get the heck out of there ASAP.

Just imagine what your ass would look like after you ride one of those down 150 floors. :shock:

Some of have enough ass that it wouldn't matter.

I'm still partial to the plans Donald Trump came up with for rebuilding two toweres.

Me too Lance. Nothing like saying "screw you we'll just put'em right back" to the terrorist.

I think you could break it into smaller sections. Like, slide 2 floors, scoot a few feet, and then slide down another 2 floors, repeat. Or something similar.
