How tall were the twin towers?
Maybe a thousand feet?

How long are most rapelling ropes?
Maybe a couple hundred feet (at most).

(( https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/ropes.html

Dynamic ropes for rock climbing range in length from 30m to 80m. A 60m rope is the standard and will meet your needs most of the time. ))

80 meters is what, about 250 feet? (Give or take a few.)

And then having the ropes and the gear does no good if
one has no idea of what they are doing with it.

Sorry.
Zim.

Over the weekend there has been a fund
raiser with people repelling off a tall
building. How many people could have
been saved at the Twin Towers if they
had had repelling equipment on the top
floor of those buildings?
