I'd have a something like this (SOS parachute) and a fire ax to break out a window in my desk if I had to go back to working in a skyscraper again. Seeing those poor people during 9/11 have to choose between burning to death or jumping was horrific.

"Major fires have hit Dubai high-rises in recent years and spread quickly, mostly due to flammable material used in cladding, a covering or coating used on the side of the buildings."
Only in Dubai. I wonder who decides to build skyscrapers this way? I can just hear some Oligarch saying "it'd be a shame if all of a sudden your building were to catch fire."
