Horrible NYC fire.

My sincere condolences to the 19 dead, and their families, in that horrible apartment building fire in New York City today. 

   How ever there are a few questions that come to mind.  How do tenants on the top floor (19th floor) leave the building?  Elevator[s]?  Was there more than one elevator in the place?  Did the elevator[s] keep working thru out the fire?  What happens when the down button on all 19 floors is pressed at once?  I assume there were stairs.  Were the stairs open or were they blocked by fire?  Did the building have sprinklers?  If not why not?  Can you install outdoor fire escapes on a 19 story building?
