high-rise is inherently dangerous, the higher the building, the more dangerous it is.

but we choose not to see it.

skyscrapers are a sign of prestige and power.

I am an 81 kid. But this movie used to play on channel 5 and was somehow stuck in my mind. I remember the elevator shaft had fire and they had to use a rope thing to escape. 

Few years ago I googled it to make sure I wasn't imagining the movie.

Last time where got cocomelon or what. Whatever is on TV just have to watch. 

Just like airwolf, a team, 6 million dollar man, bionic woman. Sometimes on rtm2, sometimes on ch 5.

Ooi! Why neber mention Hawaii Five-O?   😁

Remember the proposal to build deep instead?

Same same... imagine climbing UP to surface during fire.

Clementi is full of 40 storeys new HDB. It seems to be the new norms for 10 m population? If we indeed looking towards this trend, then we should ensure HDB also adhere to the fire safety codes like any other commercial buildings.
