What do they have water tanks on top for? Is that a
standard thing with
sky scrapers? Is it for fire fighting, or is it just part of the
running water system of the buildings?
If one thinks back to like 1971 or so with the movie 'The
Towering Inferno', it showed large water tanks at the top of the
building as well. I don't know if it's a standard building-code type
thing or if it's specifically used for fire fighting or not, but it's
certainly not the first time I've seen mention of it.
