In the US buildings above 20 floors or so are required to have water storage on the top floor to run the sprinklers via gravity feed as well as potable water. Power generators (minimum 2) are also required to keep the lights and elevators running in case of a grid failure. The Phone co. buildings downtown are spec'ed for 2 weeks without power feed from the grid, there's about 200,000 gallons of desiel fuel stored under the one here in Jax.

Our Battleships and B-52s trump any phallic symbol someone may want to show off. Although poping this thing up in the terrorist's back yard takes some big ones. In case no one noticed they don't seem to mind blowing stuff up on their own soil as well.
