However this situation does bring to mind, once again, the importance of always having an escape plan in place. \u00a0Maybe tenants\/owners should even get together and work out options specific to their own buildings? \u00a0Or maybe this was all in place already. \u00a0Whatever the case, our condolences go out to McClung&#8217;s family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>New Yorkers are actually fortunate enough to live in some of the world&#8217;s safest high rises, thanks to stringent codes. \u00a0Read about it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufanyc.org\/cms\/contents\/view\/14792\">here<\/a>.
