If death is approaching

Suppose you know that there is a problem with the quality of the building you designed. What will you do?
Suppose you know that an unpredictable fire broke out directly below your large banquet, what would you do?
If you have just finished lingering with your lover, you find that there is already dense smoke outside the house, you have been trapped in a tall building by the fire, and the phone cannot be connected. What will happen to you?
If the gas in the corridor blows up the corridor, and you can only slowly climb down the remaining railings to a safe floor. Looking down, the floor is out of reach. What will happen to you?
Suppose you finally got a place to escape, you walked up to the rooftop but saw the helicopter that landed on fire, and when you took the only sightseeing elevator to escape, you were bitten by the tongue of fire and almost all the steel bars were cut off. Watch the people in the elevator roll down to the height of 110 floors. , What will you do?
Suppose you are asked to take the cable car from the height of 135 floors to the opposite building without too many safety measures, dare you?
If, if... if all of this happened in "Burning Skyscrapers" filmed in 1976.
In 1976, the year of the Tangshan earthquake, we were told of the possible tragedy of the Tofu Project. So at the end of the film, the builder said, don't let the same tragedy happen again.

Draw some survival guides:
1 Before staying in the hotel, let's find out all the safe passages first. Don't find a way to escape when a disaster is imminent;
2 Those who go first may not necessarily survive; those who stay may not necessarily die. In this regard, conclusions can be drawn from the three escape methods of grabbing the elevator, taking the sightseeing elevator, or taking the cable car.
3 In the event of a fire, you must do everything possible to tell others where you are still trapped in the sea of ​​fire and where the specific location is. It is convenient for others to rescue.
4 To organize large gatherings, we must prepare enough security forces and medical staff. You can't foresee any emergencies at all.

In any case, women are always sheltered in disasters. This can be regarded as a reward in the patriarchal society. Movies are always the case, heroes survive, selfish people get retribution. But reality is not a movie. We can't predict when the disaster will end through the progress bar. Or maybe you worked so hard to be a hero but left early. All kinds of possibilities will happen. We can only hope that there will be fewer natural and man-made disasters, and more resourceful and brave people.
When watching a movie, I think, what if I were the character in it.
I only have one request-if I want to die, please let me die in a more comfortable way.
Life is impermanent, cherish this moment!

The Towering Inferno quotes

  • Doug Roberts: [on security phone with Wes] Doug... I'm up on 83 with Will. Listen, we got a little wiring problem. If we've got an overload it could be trouble. Shut down as many of the Zone One systems as you can.

    Wes: [into the phone] I'm afraid I can't do that, Mr. Roberts. We've got all the lights on for the dedication ceremony.

    Doug Roberts: [in disbelief] All... you mean the whole building?

    Wes: Well, we're taking the overload just fine.

    Doug Roberts: [sharply] Well shut it down, right away!

    Wes: But I can't do that without a direct okay from Mr. Duncan himself.

    Doug Roberts: I'll accept the responsibility for that. Just turn off the goddamned lights!

    Wes: What about the lights in the tower for the party?

    Doug Roberts: I didn't say kill all the power, just the overload!

    Wes: Yes sir, Mr. Roberts.
