How could you work for these people and not at least harbor lingering fears about the possibility of the existence of Hell

That's a standard instruction in high rises b/c it's generally safer. Not so much when you wrap the building in combustable material.

High rises are SUPPOSED to be designed so fires spread slowly, if at all. People died recently in a NYC high-rise bc they tried to evacuate.

That's fair

I think your criticism is totally fair tho. When residents cannot evacuate, landlords HAVE to make sure fire prevention is all in order.

FWIW, "horizontal evacuation" is the term we use in hospitals. ~ Safer to compartmentalize, shelter in place, and move laterally as needed.
-
"Vertical evacuation" is complex, chaotic, and carries its own dangers.
