Doesn't sound like much but it's warm in Atlanta and I'm wearing a button-down, long-sleeved shirt and pants. Now I just feel gross.
But it got me to thinking. "That's just seven floors."
When they do fire drills in the really tall buildings (40+ floors), do they make people evacuate down the steps from the very top? I guess so. I mean, if it were a real fire they'd have to do it, but wow. What and exercise.
Technically you can use the elevator going back up, and if you were very high up (floor-wise) I suppose you'd all but have to.
Just wondering how often they have these drills in skyscrapers. Must be one helluvan exercise.
