[QUOTE="DDD, post: 616693, member: 35"] I've seen on the news that there was a fire on the 18th floor or so of a high rise apartment or condo building in NYC today. The resident directly above on the 20th floor sent out tweets saying he, his wife and 2 year old were trapped there and it was smoky. Subsequently he tweeted that the firemen arrived and told them to stay put and they would be back. husband (who once worked in NYC) said to me "why didn't they just take the stairwell down to safety?" I responded "I think they have private elevators for luxury units and I doubt each apt. has direct access to a stairwell." Hmmm...does anyone know the answer? Somehow it seems insane that you would have a million ++ condo and not have a way out. on the other hand I can't picture a stairwell off the kitchen??? Obviously this is not important but husband and I are trying to figure it out. Anybody know? DDD [/QUOTE]
