Changes in safety code seem largely reactive. Has the city historically been proactive in making any changes?
What impact did the 37 and 68 changes have on safety, since they seem to have come about as a result of builders' economic concerns?
Is it possible to protect workers or residents in high rises from a tragedy of scale similar to the attacks on 911, since those attacks have been a main driver for change?
Before the Triangle fire what were the concerns for safety in high-rises? Was there any discussion, regulations approved? What codes were subsequently approved and how long did it take? Did it start a safety movement nationwide? Please explain the last answer in terms of where changes were made, what the changes were and how quickly they came about after the fire.
