The Glass Tower, 138 stories tall, is the world's tallest building. During pre-dedication testing, an electrical short starts an undetected fire on the 81st floor. An attempt at a helicopter rescue fails when panicky partygoers rush the helipad, causing the helicopter to veer off, crash and set the roof ablaze.
