They didn’t.
Folks were screaming. Trying to tie sheets together, to escape.
Prayers up.

“steel fire escape ladders.”
Yes, but who has those in the 24 story model?

Live news just said two people are being treated for smoke inhalation.
Two people....out of an entire building of (previously) screaming residents.
Shocking. Sad.

"...know your knots..."
These poor unfortunate souls are grasping at straws and trying to think of anything that might work.
Few trained athletes would be strong enough to descend an actual rope, to even descend several stories, to meet an awaiting ladder.
Nevermind with flames, debris, and shattering glass lapping at them. How completely frightening.

OMG, is that a real picture? Horrific. What on earth is this building made of that it would burn like this? This fire must have been set on purpose, don’t you think?

I think this building will be coming down at some point soon.

Isn’t it strange that anytime that someone goes in front of congress to discuss Russia, there is a terror attack. It seems to be a trend now.

I found a link that said the Tower had been undergoing major refurbishment.....
.....but I have no idea if this is recent news or old archive, there is no date
It also said the Tower was built in 1974

Looks like the new arrivals are celebrating the results of the election.
It will be fun to see how they try to spin this.

A residential fire in a 27-story high-rise at 4:00 am and the sole reported injuries are two smoke inhalation cases?
Angels are clearly helping them. How can this good fortune be possible?
Hopefully the fire alarms plus shouting neighbors got everyone out.

Ahh ... most days there is one or more terror attacks somewhere in the world. What point were you trying your make about Russia, Russia, Russia?

I’m assuming there were a lot of muzzies living in that building, because they’re saying that many people were up breaking the fast for Ramadan, and that could have helped with getting people out. There’s over 200 apartments in the building. A witness...a muzzie is saying that there are still people trapped in the building as they are getting phone calls from people inside.
