Parachutes or paragliders, rope bridges to nearby buildings...
But I still favor the idea of building down instead of up. Tall buildings
always seemed a dumb idea since Towering Inferno. If you want a great view
put an eiffel tower kind of structure up there and make it twice the height
of the WTC buildings.
