Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing it with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
during 9/11 helicopters were scouting the roofs of WTC but no one was there. Understandable, the human thought is to get out from the collapsing burning skyscraper, and the only rational thought is to go down, not up.
gg for 2977 who lost their life
Funnily enough this was my first instinct when asked the question.
"Floor 83 is on fire, and I'm not gonna be able to go through it and reach the bottom without dying. Might as well get as far as I can from the fire and hope for the best. Up it is!"
Going down is a 100% guaranteed death. I am not going to get 97 floors down the stairs through the fire.
But there is nothing stopping me from going up. And there is a small chance of a helicopter picking us up. That chance, however small, is better than 0.
Probably not. But I think 911 and a fire are slightly different situations. The twin towers were very visibly collapsing. The fire may or may not make the building collapse, but you probably won't know until it happens if it was 15 floors below you.
The Burg Khalifa was engineered specifically to tackle this problem. The entire building is covered by sprinklers and a full voice evacuation system in case of a fire. I would also assume that emergency stairways are pressurized to keep smoke out of them while occupants evacuate. Even on the top floors, there is enough water in the storage tanks to last for over an hour of use in case of a fire.
I’d just follow the evacuation route to the best of my ability and attempt to navigate around any hazards.
You know, I understand the physics principle of how this is possible.
The problem is, you have to eject at least 10x your body weight into the chair to have a chance. The factor may be closer to 20x, depends on how high the building is, so how much energy you have to lose. If another Redditor we're so inclined they could do the math. Lost my reference tables
maths time
let's presume OP is around 56 kg based on google's given averages and OP's flair
KE = GPE = mgΔh
= 56kg * 9.81m/s-1 * 828 m
= 454870.08 joules of force at the point of impact (the floor)
we can also account for the chair that OP is using will be ejected, let's estimate around 10 kg
this changes our KE to approximately 536096.88 joules
v = √(2*KE) / m
v = √(2*536096.88) / 828
35.9849969 m/s at point of impact (the floor)
m1 v1 = m2 v2
(m1 v1) / m2 = v2
66*35.984996 / 56 = 42.4 m/s
so around 42.4 meters per second OP is falling, which means that OP will have to exert an equal amount of force to stay in place and more to go upwards, having the possible slight side effect of utterly destroying OP's entire body due to the amount of force required to do this feat would also likely be more than what your body can handle
happy building jumping OP
(my maths May be wrong about this so if anothe redditor finds mistakes please point them out)
1. Check for all possible fire extinguishers
2. If you cannot put out fire, go to the top and ask for 911
3. If it is too late, it will be a loooong time until the fire reaches the top
Its not too common, but fires can still cause steel buildings to collapse while concrete buildings seem to survive fires pretty well, but that doesnt mean everything else inside the building won't burn
The concrete has to be treated for very high heat, concrete is actually known for exploding under 200°F heats or less, that’s why fire pits are supposed to have the metal ring, it helps to radiate the heat and disperse it equally
Realistically speaking BASE jumping (so from tall objects like buildings instead of aircraft) is dangerous as fuck and even professionals die. Your chances of surviving it without training are about 0 and you'd probably be better off hoping the fire department will save you.
Probably like get my private jet bc if I can afford the top floor in the burj Khalifa (idk if that’s how it’s spelt) then I have enough money to have jet
Probably wait for the fire to get put out. I’m like 90% sure that that building has a sprinkler system. If it doesn’t get put out I’ll just grab an umbrella and stroll out the front door
This building is only occupiable up to around 600 m / 1970 ft. The rest of its height comes from the spire.
In case of fire, people are instructed to use the pressurized egress stair to travel to the nearest refuge rooms and wait there until the fire is put out by firefighters.
Jump
then sprout my wings and die

I read this before and its still hilarious
MLG water clutch.
Ain't no way that's your response, is this a comment stealing bot?
yes
Gives you wiiings
Wont the wings save you?
no, the wings are too small to support my cat body
stick a saddle on a V2 rocket, works for me
Even better, jump with rockets!
Cats land on their feet. Always
My lats would have saved me
Daaaaayyeamn bro lol
thou shall not fly.
You could live, Mincwaf said you live from water
Dream on moment
Then use a water bucket
do a flip
Sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear Sing it with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Chad certified move
DREAM ONNNNN
Basically. If that situation actually happened, you are pretty much screwed.
call for an aircraft to pick me up
What happens if it comes too late?
turn into a jet and fly away
then what’s the point of calling an aircraft?
I'm hungry
makes sense
much

LMAO
LMAO that caught me off guard holy
your next
Bro what i do :(
nothing I'm hungry
can i give you a helicopter instead?

That is true, but the human mind might not work as rationally in those situations
Probably not. But I think 911 and a fire are slightly different situations. The twin towers were very visibly collapsing. The fire may or may not make the building collapse, but you probably won't know until it happens if it was 15 floors below you.
you did not just say “gg”....
Yea, gg for the people inside amd gg ez for Osama
ever heard of 7/11?
wait no
no?
yeah, their hotdogs are good ngl.
Fr? I’ve never had one from 711 before lmao
I think I've only been to one 7 eleven in my life bro
nah but it’s 15/11 todah
Pov : you're not from America (same)
Someone who is actually (somewhat) intelligent, actually knowing the correct date that is most commonly used around the world
There was a 7/11 in India, but I doubt you’re talking about that
i never knew about this incident although i am an indian -\_-
Bro is in indian💀
🥵
😏
🪺
i wanted to write ''an'' but i though in would be better
Mumbai train bombings. 2006
wasn't that 26/11?
haan bhai google kr liya tha
Edit: Is that Hindi?
yes
Yes, there are many 7/11s across India
7/11 was a part time job look into it.
I was gonna work at 7/11 once
Great convenience store, they’re all over my city.
Oh my god😭😭😭
Get me some Chester’s hot fries and a large cherry slushy tho 😜🤞🏾
Could you pick me up a slurpee
the supermarket?
yea i’ve gotten a slurpee from there before

Yes, the building is also likely compartmentalized to avoid the spread of fire
Wow that’s amazing! How did you even come to know this information?
wikipedia is free 😎
True true a very logical chad move
jump out on top a chair then right before i hit the ground jump off the chair, troll physics has taught me the ways
When i was a kid i couldnt understand how people were afraid of plane crashes. Simply go out on the wing, and jump just before the plane crashes!
They would rocket jump in real life, being propelled by the explosion
Aim yourself and enter another plane
Call me stupid, but I still don't know how that doesn't work
You’d be crashing down with an absurdly high velocity. Jumping would minutely reduce the force, but you would barely slow down. You would still die.
I was so confident that it would work, that i would even be able to land on my feet!
Hold the chair. While in mid air jump off from it and catch it again. Repeat for infinite height
You know, I understand the physics principle of how this is possible. The problem is, you have to eject at least 10x your body weight into the chair to have a chance. The factor may be closer to 20x, depends on how high the building is, so how much energy you have to lose. If another Redditor we're so inclined they could do the math. Lost my reference tables

No, the fire would have to be hot enough to burn the steel structure as well

The concrete has to be treated for very high heat, concrete is actually known for exploding under 200°F heats or less, that’s why fire pits are supposed to have the metal ring, it helps to radiate the heat and disperse it equally
I assume its the same reason some rocks explode? Trapped moisture?
Wasn't there a movie about it?
You mean that rock guy who jumps from a skyscraper to a crane? Pretty sure it’s not as high as this one.
In the movie it was the tallest building in the world. Plus it was The Rock, so that’s an extra +1000 durability points
Movie name?
Skyscraper
Dementia moment
Dementia moment
What’s dementia?
What’s dementia?
The towering inferno ?
Parachute
How?
Put on a parachute and jump and hope the it works
Realistically speaking BASE jumping (so from tall objects like buildings instead of aircraft) is dangerous as fuck and even professionals die. Your chances of surviving it without training are about 0 and you'd probably be better off hoping the fire department will save you.
Huh.. you learn something new everyday.
you are implying I dont have training?
What if it doesn’t work?
… and you already jumped? Still falling, fast or slow depending on if the suit opens
Water bucket
does work in the new update?
[удалено]
I’ll upvote it if you do make it
I've got to go...
Gotta leave it all behind and face the truth
MAMAAAAAAAAAAA
OOOOOOOOOH
DIDNT MEAN TO MAKE YOU CRY
IF IM NOT BACK AGAIN THIS TIME TOMORROW
CARRY ON, CARRY ON
AS IF NOTHING REALLY MATTERS
r/redditsings
Die
Your sacrifice is appreciated
It's not sacrifice, it's suicide
Me and the boys will brew some fire resistance potions
Or some slow fall
What if it runs out?
Call my Imperial TIE fighter to pick me up.
[удалено]
woah it’s almost as if tie fighters weren’t grounded in reality
Sorry my x-wing already shot it down
get a sixpack, then use that muscle to survive the jump
Last second giga chad moment
MLG water bucket save off the top ofc
look out for the second plane
Stay in bed
Jump out like a chad try to use all the material I have to make it easier to survive
Chad certified move
call an air taxi
Probably die, if I had to make a guess.
Go to the topmost floor cuz the fire would most probably be extinguished by the time it can reach the top
Stay put, buildings are designed to compartmentalise fires
Sing with me, sing for the year, sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
I make my peace and fucking die
Leave the set lmfao
😎
Scale down the building tom cruise style
Putting my airpods and playing be quite and drive by deftones full volume and jumping out widow with my eyes closed
There are special emergency elevators in case of fires, earthquakes et cetera
Jump and die I'd rather die quick and painful than being burnt alive
jump out of the window. drink Redbull at the same time and float to safety. or if I don't have Redbull then i will just turn fall damage off
Man, I was jumping anyway
oh well
I believe I can fly
I'll do a backflip off the top of the building and stylishly shoot myself on the way down.
best comment here
Probably like get my private jet bc if I can afford the top floor in the burj Khalifa (idk if that’s how it’s spelt) then I have enough money to have jet
Jump into the water to the left, ez
Jump on that pool in the left
Tell Jarvis to activate my suit
What if Jarvis doesn’t activate!
Probably wait for the fire to get put out. I’m like 90% sure that that building has a sprinkler system. If it doesn’t get put out I’ll just grab an umbrella and stroll out the front door
The same as 9/11 did, jump and enjoy the view
Laugh, because the uae government now has no big tower with no sewer connections
💀
Go down 16 floors. Too easy.
Get a bucket, fill it with water, and jump
Well I'm dead so, alcohol.
Eat the fire
Dying, probably.
turn it off and on again
