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?
Fire fighting system in case the water main is knocked out or weak
pressure.
I would imagine that the WTC and other tall buildings would have to pump
water anyway. Mains pressure is only as high as the local water tower.
