Seriously though, the towers have to be able to tolerate a variety of forces. They're minimalist but that still must be a significant mass of metal.

There's actually been no documented cases where a .22 caliber weapon has killed a grown human. It's just a myth that TV/film likes to spin. They're like wolf attacks, there's never been a documented fatal wolf attack on a human being since the 1600's.

Thank god boris is tearing up the planning regs so famed charlatans G4S and capita can subcontract our building literally tens of thousands of dangerous flats using load bearing drywall and special concrete which is 65% polystyrene, and of course, cladding that is installed because the designer doesn’t know what “inflammable” means.

This must be what happened to me. I cannot nap, not ever, not even during the 32 hours of flight/stopovers it took to get back from new Zealand. I'd love to be able to just have a little nap now and then :sigh:

Oh yeah, tried that on another flight- drank a shitload of red wine and miraculously managed to semi-drowse for about 15 minutes, then I got a hangover which lasted the rest of the flight. The universe really doesn't want me to get any sleep on planes.

Glad it's not just me. I was once upgraded to first class and even with the full flat bed I couldn't sleep for a second on an overnight flight.

“At approximately 5:45 am on 16 May 1968, resident Ivy Hodge went into her kitchen in flat 90, a corner flat on the 18th floor of the building, and lit a match to light the gas stove for a cup of tea.”

“Four of the 260 residents were killed immediately and seventeen were injured, including a young mother who was stranded on a narrow ledge when the rest of her living room disappeared. Hodge survived, despite being blown across the room by the explosion — as did her gas stove, which she took to her new address.[5]”

Just ask someone to choke you out. Then, when you wake up, they just choke you out again until the flight is done

It's a win-win

Just pretend you have motion sickness and take some Dramamine 15 minutes before boarding.

Or do the same thing, but allergies, and take Benadryl.

Are you perhaps the protagonist in an Award-Winning Canadian novel from 1976?

What is the name of this book? Or the name of the series? As soon as you said this, the plot and illustrations leapt into my mind, but I can't find it on google anywhere. There was definitely a whole series of books about teenagers in dangerous visitations like this. There was another one about gangs fighting I remember as well.
