The worst idea ever...
OK for a slow, localized and small fire, but what if the flames were bursting troughtout the windows???

- it doesn't happen
  this thing you see in movie clips that fire burst out of the window does not happen in real life. nothing can be burned outside the window, what does happen is lots and lots of smoke comming out, but it is not a threat to this system. the only threat is if the building itself might collapse, or panic inside the building when people who needs to wait for their turn go bezerk.

- O.o
  uh yeah thats the point bub- the fire alarm goes off and people escape the building before the fire escalates that far. . . Guess you weren't really thinking were you?

Great Idea!
If you only need to evacuate about 16 people every half hour.

give them parachutes instead

- really long stilts
  possibly long ropes tied to other buildings. People could swing to other nonburning buildings!

Stupid
I'd rather they build a damn slide spiraling around the building. It'd definately be more fun and faster.

And it doesn't matter where it was invented or initiated. The intent was ans is to prevent loss of human life. Those that don't remember history are "doomed" to repeat it.

good idea
but in the case of the twin towers it wouldn't have been much use too much structural damage was inflicted to the building, also u would need one of these at each window other wise there would be fighting to get in 1st and then ppl jumping onto it as it started to lower rather like in the movie towering inferno.

- from what I heard, virtually everyone in...
  who were below point of "impact" escaped alive! an amazing feat, thankfully
  By Silver Palm Trees 1144544836 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~507727~~
- but....
  the twin towers are an extreme case. it prob wudnt work on buildings as big as the twin towers because think about how long the cables would have to be. Its a good idea for smaller buildings tho, as long as every1 doesnt use them rather than the stairs and only people who are trapped.

- Window washers
  Most towers these days (at least in Hong Kong) have window washing platforms that go from the top of the buildings to the ground, and several of them. For example, the IFC 2 tower has 6-8 of these platforms that could be repurposed automatically. My question would be whether the WTC had such a window cleaning system in place.

By mooncat56 1143847680 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~334603~~
Hmmm
Would it save people on the floors ABOVE the fire...like in the WTC twin towers?
By RachBabe77 1143844852 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~914650~~
- sure no!
  :)
  By goktug80 1158188392 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~1888857~~
- I think it can
  I guess you have to put alot more then one elevator/ crane as there are also alot more people. In a normal building you'd probably have one on each windows line, so you can save a lot more people and not only few from 2 floors, and then if some systems get unusable there are other.

Would it be...
Would it be faster in a real emergency, it's a great idea, it just seems a little pokey to me.

So what
happens if the fire gets to the crane system and renders it unoperable, or the roof collapses...

- what if
  the dog wouldn't have stopped in the woods to take a shit? he would have caught the rabbit. nothing is perfect. this is just another tool that emergency personel can use to help evacuate a building.
  By dyhgfdh 1143851848 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~480525~~
- "More work needed on it though"...
  NonPlusUltra has a very good point dyhgfdh. There are so many things that could go wrong with this system. What is needed in cases of fire is a universal tool that will be usable in pretty much any circumstance of fire. If this tool was intensely researched I would be reasonably sure the inventor could solve any issues that it has. In the event of building collapses, if the building collapses while evacuating people, not alot could be done to save the people in either the building or the safety device, in any building collapse, unless people got out before the building collapsed, anyone still inside it are either going to be burried or dead.

already in use...
they have similar but more industrious versions of those things on oilrigs and other such things. Started after Piper Alpha disaster.

By FEOMEN 1143823496 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~428892~~
- yes indeed, very slow,
  window washing platforms move faster than that thing
  By nachalnik 1144067801 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~872119~~

Damn!
That's the best idea I've ever seen for high rise rescues.
