They didn't have fire exits!?
How old was this building? I mean, I know for a fact that the Japanese are absolutely paranoid about this kind of thing.
You know that windows over there marked with a triangle have emergency escape-to-ground kits? It's all stored under the window sill, and has equipment that allows people ride a sort of zip-line to the ground. It requires outside assistance to set up (secure the lines to the provide anchors outside the building), but when I was there, most buildings I'd been in had these.
