Other occupants were told to stay put, since stairwells couldn't handle a rapid full-building exodus."
That like the lack of sprinklers in the MGM fire were code issues which should have been addressed and drills should have been able to measure evacuation rates and the best method to get people out of those buildings. In Chicago, locked stairwell doors have killed many people, and I do not understand why this remains when clearly people were compromising the doors by putting objects in the doors to allow them to go back in. All I am saying is that the planes had very little to do with the cluster F of evacuation. I am sure buildings have multiple protocols and training now, but lighting and not getting people orderly out of the building asap bothered me. I liked the one trader toward the end trying to help his coworker carry an injured man down when they ran into firefighters and the firefighter said to him.....who are You? Get the F out of this building.....it saved his life....not so much for the firefighter.
