high-rise building

Beyond a gate was a hill as tall as a high-rise building — turned into a dump for the Morenci mine in the 1930s.

Roos' reasons for not evacuating were explained by her saying, "I live on the 11th floor of a high-rise building. I'm in the heart of downtown. You know, they say run from water, hide from the wind. Water ain't coming up 200 feet. So I decided to stay."

All day on Saturday, rescuers searched through the rubble after a high-rise building collapsed and others were partially destroyed in the attack.

Only they had never clad a high-rise building before.

Front-line firefighting staff hadn’t been trained about the risks of fire spreading across the outside of a high-rise building.
