Thanks for sharing this. I've been in only a couple very tall structures since 9/11/01, and I always think about the people trapped on the higher floors. This video has done a LOT to calm my fears, at least in newer structures, and in fact in much older structures like The Empire State Building, because that thing is like an armored TANK!
I had largely avoided McD for a few years until the Arch Deluxe... then proceeded to eat there almost every day. It was delicious compared to their other offerings. Oh well, I've more or less recreated it since with fresh beef and higher quality condiments, but it was still a great product.
They should have switched drinks and repeated the experiment in another field on another day for scientific analysis. I wouldn't encourage a control (nothing to drink), because that'd be just asking for heat stroke.
This is an extremely reassuring post. I've always had a fear of what's below, but it's nice to think that whatever it is probably won't eat a whole cruise ship in one gulp.
I love how the cable plug used on the switchboard is still the same plug used on electric guitar amplifiers well over a century later; and a downsized version became our modern day headphone port (that is slowly being phased out, but frankly, why mess with something so great?).
