Alright, I saw Towering Inferno, and I would recommend it as ridiculous trash. Consider the opening scene, where Paul Newman enters his office after arriving by helicopter. He immediately has sex with some woman who just happens to be in the office in the double bed he has there because architects are that fatal.
He then inspects the "boxes with electric wires" he finds throughout the building and finds that they are defective. It goes without saying that architects hardly comprehend quality of wires, and since architects are regularly on construction sites, he would have noticed that they were defective if he had been knowledgeable about electrical wiring. Additionally, before the buildings are permitted to be used, they must pass a technical inspection.
But then the movie turns into your usual survival movie reminiscent of the Poseidon Adventure, Jurassic Park and etc.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
