How to Survive: The Towering Inferno (1974)

from How to Survive

This week we're keeping warm with The Towering Inferno! The Towering Inferno (1974) is widely considered the greatest of the run of 70s disaster movies. It tells the story of the world's tallest skyscraper, and what would happen if a huge fire started on the 80th floor, with the creme de la creme of San Francisco 50 floors above! We talk about improving the efficiency of a one-person chair lift; the difficulty of forgetting about 6 million gallons of water; and the ease at which a fire can be extinguished by running past it. All of which leads to one big question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... It's a fire, mister, and all fires are bad! Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
