What does that have to do with the actual idea that being in a tall building could make it difficult to escape. It doesn't matter if the cause of the disaster is cheap building materials or an external force acting on a properly built building.

The material should've behaved like concrete; stopping fire / smoke instead of spreading it.

That way firefighters can take people down the elevators safely etc.
