Subject: RE: BS: Escaping from a tall building
The wind can be rough even at 20 stories. I was in a Honolulu hotel room facing east. Stupidly forgetting about the trade winds I opened the lanai door and the wind took the ceiling tiles out of their hangers. At street level, there was only a slight breeze. Clarke in one of his futuristic novels predicted towers miles high. The future is welcome to them.
