I was looking again at some pictures of those poor individuals trapped on
the floors above the burning plane wrecks. The images of some of them
jumping from the inferno is something I think I will never forget--even if I
should become immortal. It occurred to me how terrible but for the lack of
something as simple as a rope many of these people died. Obviously going
down a hundred story building on a rope is dangerous, but we know at least
in this case the alternative was not worse. Those of you who live or work in
hi-rise buildings may want to think about investing in some low tech. Mark.
